Caught for the first time on video , Segway artificer Dean Kamen presented his Vapor Compression Distiller on last night ’s Colbert Report . The distiller is a chemical- , membrane- , and filter - free water purifier . Kamen claims the box draws virgin drinkable H2O from oceans , poisons — even a 50 - gallon metal drum of piddle . He hasreportedlyworked on the contraption for five years , butearly prototypeswere pretty ugly . This one looks ready for mass production , and with enough , Kamen says we could “ pass over out 50 % of human disease . ” Good luck with that , Deano , we ’re behind you all the path . ( That other 50 % must be a monumental bitch . ) [ Colbert Nation ]
