An Efficient Solar-Hydrogen Powered Water Purifier: The HYDRA
by Myra Per-Lee
A trio of inventors from The Essential Element (hint: H2O) have unveiled the first working model of an invention that has the potential to affect peoples throughout the world, especially people who do not have access to the a basic need that most of us take for granted... clean drinking water. Additionally, the Hydra, can reach people in disaster situations and clean the sludgiest water on site to make it potable.

The portable water-purification plant, the perfect size for a shipping container (16' x 7'), takes sludge water and splits it into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is reserved to power the HYDRA that is completely solar-energized, the water is filtered through a state of the art portable purification system and the oxygen is saved for use in hospitals and local emergencies. The HYDRA can eliminate bacteria such as cholera, dysentery, botulism, e-coli, Giardia, and viruses such as hepatitis, Cryptosporidium, and Microspoidia from the water; these water contaminants are responsible for thousands of deaths in the remote areas of many countries.
Here, The Essential Element provides a demonstration of its new invention.

cannot be cheap at all
yes many great inventions are out there however who is going to make them and give them away? who is going to fix if it breaks? spares? thanks but drilling is still the cheapest way to water...

cheap water vs. clean water
it looks like these inventors aren't aiming to provide water in the cheapest possible way, but to provide clean and pathogen-free water to third-world countries where contaminated water and waterborne diseases are the norm. not to mention that it also provides oxygen for clinics and hospitals as well as serving as a mobile power station. i think this product will go far, and i for one hope it does.

Clean Water and Disease
Myra, thanks for bringing this invention to my attention as I'm a clean water researcher looking for ways to avoid water borne disease such as giardia in 3rd world countries. I'm going to keep an eye on this particular device because it is solar powered, and therefore can work anywhere. If it lives up to the description you provided, it can be a real life saver for many people.
