Happy Basin
Nov-12-09
The Happy Basin is designed to make unsafe water drinkable. The basin has nanoceramic filters embedded in the holes at its bottom that filter polluted water. You just push the basin into the water and let surface tension buoyancy take its course.

Great solution to a growing problem. It is good to have these simple solutions rather than relying on complex, high-tech processes.

This is a fantastic idea for developing countries!

To make this design even more ergonomic, we would like to suggest that the filter is developed as a single flow membrane thereby converting the dish into a cupping device. Most African requirements are based on social consumption, where a young person is responsible for fetching water in a bucket or barrel for communal use.
We would also suggest developing this in a smaller cup version?
Great idea, hope our suggestions help.

This is a great idea which I feel could be developed further. People in many places in Africa must walk many miles for water, carrying often, dirty water on their heads which then has to be filtered on arrival at home. A suitable sized container with filtration near the top of the canister would be very appreciated I'm sure. It's your idea well done!

This device would be prone to contamination from flies, bird droppings and splasing of the surrounding water into the filtered water.
It should have a hinged cover in order to be practical

I really think you've got a great idea. This will without a doubt help many poverty stricken people to enjoy safe drinkable water. Well done.

very nice,
exellent.

If it is purely design, it fails because the it's too shallow; it don't allow pouring of the water; it needs too much of the *magical* nanoceramic filter which is obviously going to cost *mega* dollars to fabricate; it has not handles to manipulate and not contaminate the *clean* water...
If it is an actual invention, it fails because the science does not back up the *magical* properties it claims.
If it is a way to procure investments from rich fools, it should fail too. But it might not. Herein lies the tragedy.
