...clean water. There are 6,000 deaths from contaminated water every day, according to the U.N., and safe water is one of the world's more urgent problems. Kamen's device uses that extra heat to distill water--boil it and condense it. Nothing new about that Kamen has invented lots of things, but he didn't invent distillation.
