You know your product or concept has gone mainstream when some industrial fashion designer starts trying to tart up the basic product. Seems the Steripen UV wand has just qualified.
This is a designer concept recently featured in the (trade) Photonics Spectra magazine at http://www.photonics.com/Article.aspx?AID=42269.
However, note that the fashion designer admits that
‘The device has not been tested because the project was not taken as far as a fully functional prototype. However, the technology that it is based on β the application of UV light to sterilize water β has been tested and proved to be effective.’
Wheels get reinvented regularly …
Cheers
