Whether the Slingshot is a holy grail in providing clean water to the poor in the world's developing countries, its possible future impact is larger than its own achievements. The press it gathers will attract more attention from engineers, funding providers, and the general population. The more smart people we have working on this problem, the more likely we are to achieve a feasible solution and solve one of the greatest problems facing the world's poor. I applaud Dean Kamen for his work to-date and for putting the clean water problem in the spotlight.
