“Too many bodily fluids are going to waste!” said no one ever. But scientists are finding ways to make use of this great untapped resource.
We’ve seen how urine could be used to recharge your smartphone or tell you you’re too drunk to drive. Now you can turn your sweat into refreshing H2O.
Engineers in Sweden have come up with a machine that extracts the sweat from your gym clothes and turns it into purified drinking water. Imagine drinking the very essence of your stinking self.
That’s what volunteers in Sweden have been doing to promote the machine and a UNICEF water awareness campaign that it supports.
