Maytag is using *this* technology to provide a "central" water-purification
system for homes:

Wonder if it can be adapted for passenger aircraft (light enough???), and
whether they had an opportunity to bid.

(The Canadian Military has a disaster-relief setup using the same
technology. It was used to provide water during the Tsunami disaster
earlier this year)
