The Navy reported a device that makes seawater drinkable in about twenty minutes. Previously it took about an hour to remove dangerous salts. The apparatus weighs under four pounds and uses a plastic bag with a drinking tube and fourteen briquets. Dropping a briquet into the sea water bag and kneading it suffices to purify.
