Default the ''watercone'' and water

is anyone familiar with this device? www.watercone.com (watch the video)

i believe this is THE device to own to obtain clean, drinkable water when it hits the fan. the problem is that the manufacturer hasnt done squat with this.

i think we can take this general design and build our own. although i havent had time to start working on a prototype, i think one can be constructed with a five gallon clear blue water cooler jug. i dont know how many, but most, i believe, are composed of polycarbonate plastic which doesnt leach dioxins into the water. (if youre storing distilled water at home in plastic jugs, keep that in mind. in michael tsarions voice: "if yah storin` anythin` else, ya bettah re-such it!")

i think if the 5 gallon jug can be cut with an "X" on the bottom and if heat was applied, the corners of the "X" could be bent inwards creating a similar design. at that point, its a matter of increasing surface area and 'catch height' to create the most clean water.

engineering isnt my field of expertise-- hopefully someone more qualified here can modify my idea or has a better approach to this.

last resort methods include digging a hole about 6 feet away from a running stream, collecting that water, and then boiling it. dew collecting seems as tedious as digging out crabmeat.
