Imagine pulling out your water bottle and filling it up at whatever stream, pond or faucet you happen to find, then drinking it straight up without worrying one bit about your health. The miracle of instant safe water is now brought to you by Naked Filter, a technology that combines carbon elements with a nanotech membrane, and has been 15 years in development by nanochemists and engineers. The proof of concept is brought to market in a bottle by Liquidity via Kickstarter. The startup hopes its technology will transform access to clean water around the world—for some 800 million people with no current access to safe drinking water as well as for residents of developed countries with aging water infrastructure like the United States.
