I think as these students are worth a big prize of science.

Puri

The Puri is a portable fresh-water filtration and purification system that uses reverse osmosis technology. It is designed specifically for use on boats and in sudden marine emergency situations that lead to dangerous levels of dehydration and sometimes death.

Puri – Garrafa portátil transforma água do mar em água potável

Não gosto nem de imaginar engolindo a água do mar  Mas esta notícia faz esta situação bem mais agradável. Quatro estudantes da Universidade de Yonsei, na Coreia do Sul (Younsun Kim, Kangkyung Lee, Byungsoo Kim e Minji Kim), criaram uma garrafa que deixa a água do mar própria para consumo. Batizado de Puri, o recipiente concorre a um prêmio por contar com uma tecnologia que elimina o sal e outras propriedades das amostras do líquido.
Puri
O sistema desenvolvido é bem fácil de ser utilizado: de acordo com os criadores da Puri, o usuário só precisa bombear um dispositivo e direcionar a água salgada para a câmara de filtragem da garrafa, responsável pela pressurização. Por meio do processo, o líquido é dessalinizado e enviado a uma câmara interna de armazenamento de água potável. A ideia é que ela seja usada em embarcações, garantindo o acesso à água potável em situações de risco, como naufrágios, incêndios e outros acidentes em alto mar.
