I checked it out online and they already patented this filter, which I believe is one of the most promising inventions ever done. The only serious drawback is, I admit, the price, which was never mentioned anywhere, but for normal bulk nanotubes 1000-5000$/kg is no exception, so... If they are able to lower this significantly and come up with an industrial process of high enough output, they'll become richer than rich and basically solve the world's drinking water problem in the same go!

I worked on carbon nanotube membrane project for ~2 years, and it is practically impossible to make a realistic membrane for applications. It is just a joke. This technology is actually impossible.

Anyone else watch that special on the space tower where they plan to use carbon nanotubes as well?
