Mixaerator sterilises water without chemicals

"The rapid rate at which Mixaerator added and totally mixed the carbon stunned them. This is usually a painstakingly slow process," he said

The result - one of Mike’s machines was installed, at a much lower price than the American company!

"At present we are literally just putting our toes in the water, so to speak."

But despite all this, what Mike would really love to see is an adaptation of the Mixaerator being used in third world countries to sterilize water and prevent disease.

Already talks have begun with some United Nations (UN) engineers and the invention is being promoted by the Triton Foundation, a not for profit organisation that promotes a culture of innovation by educating and assisting inventors in the successful commercialisation of their inventions.

The organisation was founded by entrepreneur George Lewin in association with the Queensland State Government.
