What's the connection between the Segway and the SlingShot? I think a lot of people know the Segway. But do you know the inventor of the Segway? It's Dean Kamen. Kamen invented also a lot of medicine equipment, e.g. a transportable equipment that enables patients to perform their kidney dialysis at home. Kamen invented the SlingShot, too. The SlingShot is a water purifier that can produce clean water and doesn't need much electricity. The purifier doesn't need maintenance or chemicals. It works by vapor compression distillation. Billions of people don't have clean water or have to go long distances to the next well. One of Kamen's objective is that all these people can use his invention to get clean water. But there are some challenges: - The purifier needs electricity and a lot of people don't have it. - People without clean water are often poor, for that reason they cannot afford the SlingShot. - A man cannot transport the SlingShot alone therefore the distribution to outlying areas is not easy. I think, there will be solutions to overcome all these challenges. I can recommend the movie SlingShot. For example you can see it on Netflix.

What's the connection between the Segway and the SlingShot?

I think a lot of people know the Segway. But do you they know the inventor of the Segway? It's Dean Kamen. Kamen also invented also a lot of medicine equipments, e.g. a transportable portable (I know what you mean,better use portable)equipment that enables patients to perform their kidney dialysis at home.

Kamen invented the SlingShot, too. The SlingShot is a water purifier that can produce clean water and  doesn't need much electricity in less electricity  condition/and it requires no much electricity. The purifier doesn't need any maintenance or chemicals. It works by vapor compression distillation.(I don't know what you want to say.I think you mean It worky by vapor compression to distill/It uses the vapor compression as power to distill)

Billions of people don't have clean water or they have to go so long distances to the next nearest well. One of Kamen's objectives is that all these people can use his invention to get clean water(One of Karmen's objective is to get more clear water easily for these people’). But there are some challenges exist:

- The purifier needs electricity and while a lot of people don't have it.
- People without clean water are often poor, for that reason they cannot afford the SlingShot.

Usually those people without clear water are pool,they( certainly) couldn't afford the Slingshot.

- A man cannot transport the SlingShot alone therefore the distribution to outlying areas is not easy.

It is not capable enough for a man to transport the Slingshot to the outlying areas,therefore is a huge challenge for disbribute more for the outlysing areas.

I think, there will be solutions to overcome all these challenges.

I can recommend the movie of SlingShot. For example Or you can see it on Netflix.
