- Michael W. Pritchard is a British born inventor, entrepreneur and public speaker.
Michael was born in Epsom, Surrey in 1967. He was educated at Gordonstoun School and went to the University of Redlands in California USA. At the age of 18 he competed at international level winning a gold medal as part of the 4 x 100 metre relay team.
Michael started his business career selling Apple computers into the then fledgling desktop publishing market. He remained within the computer industry for approximately 10 years. He worked in the city as Business Development Director for the Wace Group plc and then in 1998 co-founded ZagMe.com a mobile marketing company.
In 2000 Michael started his own business. As well as owning a successful property business,Michael is Chairman of LIFESAVER systems.
Michael is best known for developing the LIFESAVER bottle, the world's first ultra-filtration bottle, which allows local sources of water to be safely drunk. Michael developed the bottle as he got angry at the tragic waste of life and serious humanitarian problems caused by the lack of safe drinking water in the wake of the Tsunami disaster in 2004. Subsequently, Michael has expanded the LIFESAVER product range to include the LIFESAVER jerrycan which incorporates his ultra filtration technology and delivers safe drinking water in increased volumes.
With cutting-edge nanotech, Michael Pritchard's Lifesaver water-purification bottle could revolutionize water-delivery systems in disaster-stricken areas around the globe.
"On the outside, it looks like an ordinary sports bottle. On the inside, there's a miracle: an extremely advanced filtration system that makes murky water filled with deadly viruses and bacteria completely clean in just seconds."
During August 2009 Michael appeared on the BBC TV programme Dragon's Den pitching his new invention, the ANYWAY spray, a pump spray that allows every last drop of liquid to be used in multi-directional household product sprays with significant practical and environmental benefits.
In September 2010 LIFESAVER bottle became one of the fifteen British inventions included in the British Library's exhibition 'Inventing the 21st Century'.

It's people and innovations like this that make life worth living. Seriously, the inventors deserve nobel peace prizes
Mosin54R Not only will it save lives but is ideal for people that like walking that way you do not have to worry if you are carrying enough watter and lightens the load . . I have my 1st one on order
It's people and innovations like this that makes life worth living. Seriously inventors deserve noble peace pizas😄
Nope, this is sales talk whereby he tries to convince people by showing what is visible. He did not explain about the limitation of this product. This product cannot remove dissolved salts such as sodium chloride and many other soluble compound.
@@jk35260 thank you for pointing that out, you had better get on the case.
Angels are real
The inventors should receive a noble prizes, Great help!
*Named after Alfred Nobel, so it would be a Nobel Prize.
This guy brought a smile to my face, good character and inventing a better world
This Man and his plan is TOTALLY AWESOME..
Wow Wow, we need more people like him, people who care for others and develop solutions. Salute to you Sir.
Regards,
Saad Ahmed.
Awesome Pritchard nice to see your show hope to see you in the future
Lets hope millions will benefit from this innovation.
Não tem como não amar uma pessoa dessas! Precisamos de mais seres humanos assim nesse planeta! Parabéns Michael W.!
Amazing, just amazing. thank you sir! Simple, effective, period.
I like this concept. The 1st thing I thought of was 'pop the old filter out and pop and new one in' A daunting prospect. Very American. Unsustainable technology dependent on outside resources. The 5 gallon can is a good start. Now lets make a filter that can be cleaned and re-used countless times.
Such a profoundly humble solution.
God bless this man why the Fcuk is this new not on tv on a daily basis worldwide ?????????????
Excellent concept...
These are super expensive. Here in NZ the bottle is $800.
Want to try this now
Congratulations Michael you are Amazing!
Absolutely agreed. Legend
Even the bottled water one buys in the store in USA does not taste good.
send these to Flint, MI!!!
This can't solve Flint problem. Pore size is too big to filter lead out.
distilling the water might work. Faucet filters like Pur would work, although they aren't cheap.
Michelle Campbell how big is lead? 15 nm?
Call this company up!
Damn
Wow that was awesome
You say u sell it for 5cents but on eBay most of them at 70$ in 2020
Brillant and glad I have ordered one as it will help lifesaver to produce more and svae more lives
how do you order one
@@reginabenson5970 try using google to answer your question
Water is important to every living human being and animals if the life saver bottle really say what they do than it is good solution, this technology should be fitted in every Home in the U.K
How does the system works
Both of these are available for retail sale, but both are primarily distributed (for free) by NDOs and other aid organizations.
The LifeSaver bottle filters out materials that are one hundredth the size that the LifeStraw does. The LifeStraw will filter some bacteria (and no viruses) and the LifeSaver bottle with filter out all bacteria and all viruses. It's a completely different thing.
Agreed. I hope this takes off!
Who can afford $300.00
The jerry can is a good idea, espeically providing a family of four with clean water for 3 years but surely, the long term solution would be some kind of pumping station near a dirty river with a larger version of the bottle filter cleaning all the water and pumping it to homes via pipe.
A good point. Surely, any township should have both.
I am soooo proud of you 👑👑
A lifesaving water bottle. Make undrinkable water drinkable.
Its people like this that change the world for better. I feel like He is god sent to save peoples lives.
God bless You.
Hey we just happened to be in the neighborhood when your river got contaminated.
How many uses does it have? Can you live on it, or will it be just for temporary purposes? And how much do you plan to sell these for?
I wonder about filter life, and filter cost. Seems to work well though. Found it on Amazon. Very expensive but seems to have a good filter.
A fantastic invention, but there's a self-defeating irony in it being expensive on Amazon.
Where we will get it..?
You said that the cost per day is 0.5 rupees - explain over how many days for bottle and for jerry can. Thanks, looks like a great product.
jerry can lasts for 3 years. thats (365 x 3)0.5
the average jerry can is about 2-3 gallons of water.
that bottle looks about 750ml-1liter. convert. compute. know
Awesome vedieo helped me a lot
“ God Bless You “
Water is the next Gold in the future to come. There is nothing like Water, Universal Solvent.
Presenters like these need to have their feet put to the fire! Show me, do not tell me. It took 11 minutes before you Showed the product. In business, you'd be out. Now - how do you make it? Is it patented? Are you being a philanthropist? What are the costs involved? Retail? Wholesale price? The water crisis is serious. Tell me something I DO NOT ALREADY KNOW.
Vincent Torrieri If you notice this was an education conference not an infomercial. So 20mins or 30 mins doesn’t really matter now does it. All it was about is his work and reasons of Who, What, Where, How, When all this took place and the journey to get here at this point. But hey if you act now in next 20 mins you could see another second and third part of this show for free but only if you hurry and look it up yourself. Lol... You know I’m right.
Vincent. So rude, but by all means do it differently
What's the name of the product
Can all the impurities of water be removed by filtration alone? And, can anyone post an address - email or physical address - where to find such a device?
I saw this live :D
Lol if i was the guy testing the water i would drink it then grab my heart as if i was in pain and wait till the audience is in a state of akward silence
Wait! With JUST EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS??? With JUST 20 Billion dollars?? What planet is this guy from?
Good question
All leaders worldwide pay attention to it!
He wants to make world better just like IMF or World Bank.
He generously selling this bottle for only £99.00 + VAT or some thing like more than $170.
Tsunami, Bangladesh Wow! Bangladeshis working for
The replacement filters go for like $100. Not practical to give even every household. They need some type of mass water filtration systems like we have in the state. That's what they should be working on!!
,5 Rupee x 4 years = .5 Rupee x 1460 = 365 Rupee Mauritius = USD $10.33 Tops. I'll take ten to give to the homeless. They are USD $119.00 now 3/17.
its on amazon for 109.99
what progress with this project now??
Hey if you know Mr Pritchard wish him and his guinea pigs well 4 me! Also tell him to check out Gerald Pollack's work on exclusion zone water as it desalinates a layer of H3 - O2 at the boundary of homophilic materials which maybe a property of his filter!
Distilling is better cheaper easier.
distilling water requires fuel which is another very scarce resource. This invention only requires a little pumping.........
well i dont see any of these product in Malaysia...
As a solution it is a good direction but price of the bottle says it is not meant to help people but to make money. Otherwise there would be several cheaper versions with warnings that they don't clean the water that good or something.
"This bottle will save millions of lives"
Meanwhile, the bottle being 180+ dollars. Which most people who don't have access to clean water can't afford.
Excluding Flint, MI, USA.
where to purcase
What a fantastic product and it really saves lives!
How it should save millions of lives when a bottle cost 129.90$?😡
what is your supporting evidence?
Can it filter salt water as well?
10:42 thats what ''she'' said
I want one very bad
cool i wish i had one
Rainwater is poison these days.
It takes guts to drink from that bottle after what he put inside it
Why didn't they use a funnel to pour the water into the jerrycan?
it will save your life if you have $120 for the bottle.
but like he said, cheaper than drugs, wells and medical treatment. and you can ship them easily to where they are needed.
It removes heavy metals???, that does not put pH on 7 right ???
I add my voice calling for the inventor to receive nobel peace prize.
Just distill your water. It is cheaper and safer than any filter.
no it's not.
do u even know how water disstilation works!?!?!
If your diesel or kerosene is in the water, your gas tanks downstream, the grid down and you can't find your kids, never mind your saucepans, I don't think your mind is going to be on distillation...
Amen!..
I need this bottle, where do I get it ?
Don't buy it. Buy a grayl.
Funny how he puts in a liquid from the lifesaver before he filters and drinks it.
Wow!
i want one!
this is a Disaster / refugee game changer.
sounds great . Not a drop of information about where to buy ????????????????????????????????
It is possible to do what he is speaking of without halogenated vinyl and halogenated carbon pollution. He could do the same with natural materials.
But how do u know when's is broken
bill lam he said it wouldn't allow u to use it earlier in the video.
he states in the video it stops working when it gets clogged and unuseable
@@sonus289 I have one, it just slows down when you get to the limit of 4000ltrs or 6000 ltrs depending on which type bottle you purchase, telling you that you need a new cartridge.
hasn't this been around for ages?
Yes, it removes fluoride.
So awesome ...how do I get one?
The website sells them
Fantastic, why not donate these indtead of money in a disaster! Where can they be obtained and how much do they cost
The country of YEMEN needs this, with the severe cholera epidemic that is KILLING thousands.
What’s the difference between this and the liberty
We could teach people how to make man-made ground water. We make Edison generators out of old generators and filter's out of soil and charcoal and never use sulphates. Coal filters are becoming more appropriate worldwide. But it's very important that halogenated vinyl and halogenated carbon manufacture and use be stopped absolutely as we agreed to in the chemical weapon manufacture treaty.
What's it called? ... I want to buy it :)
plejaren1 - LifeSaver
@@solooverland3666 LIFESAVER???? How is that a answer?
@@lindatam8265 - That’s what it’s called. LifeSaver. How is that NOT an answer? What did you want, “pink giraffe from Mars at a Sunday afternoon picnic”? 🤷
life saver bottle
How about heavy metals?
I don't think it can cope with desalinating seawater so maybe not. Probably just for rainwater, puddles and ponds. Still a lifesaver, if you'll forgive the repetition!
@@clivewells7090 plus you can raid you local sewerage farm and dip into that water as well. If you wnat to remove heavy metals/Petroleum, you need to distill and for that the University of Buffalo is finalising a nano carbon evaporative device that uses only the sun's energy to distil up to 10 litres a day, using any water source.
Now do that without halogenated vinyl and halogenated carbon pollution.
This talk appears to be nothing other than an advert for his product
neogovernment - This is not a product. This is a brilliant, affordable solution to a widespread problem. Exactly what better alternative have YOU produced and deployed? What impact have YOU made???
...aaaand: SOLD!
so far, SODIS or solar distillation ( leaving bottles of grey water in the sun for 4 to 6 hours) is the only method cheap enough for the 3rd world... its good, but not good enough. The combination of layers of sand, rock, charcoal and silver impregnated ceramic is best, but the very cheapest ceramic filter is around $50 USD. It won't do- the people who need this cant buy it- so they get sick and they die. Any ideas about getting a system together that can actually do the 3rd world any good? Let me know.
One of these little bottles cost 80 pounds or some $150 USD, not cheap by any means
This is what science should be about. I do not who @GoddessKate1 is but they sure talk some s**t!
thats very touching i sugest they shud make a filter from graphene oxide witch is superior than this one
But we have life straw now -.-
Does it remove fluoride.
No, I seriously DOUBT that the LifeSaver bottle does much of Anything. There's a valid REASON why Mr. Michael's cute little "demonstration" didn't get done!
Fat Albert Yep... he embarrassingly set everything up and hoped that nobody would notice the ABSENCE of a demonstration!! All he did was make up a bunch of nice stories.
Fat Albert
At 11 minutes in, he drank the water from the bottle that he had contaminated on stage.
so it does have limits.....The bottle can be used to filter urine and will remove all microbiological contamination. Tho there will be an amount of dissolved salts that can not be removed. Metals such as iron, and salt from salt water cannot be removed effectively.... if they can remove all this other stuff I would be buying two!!!!
Robert Shine Nanofilters can trap virus but not dissolved salt. To remove salt, either use desalination or reverse osmosis.
Good news is scientists are working to use graphene (1 atom thick) to filter salt. However they cost a lot to produce and has yet to figure out a way to mass produce them.
Edison generators and dynamos easily generate electricity and desalinate eater cheaply.
wow
Wouldn't work like the salt battery
This company is now in liquidation. ...
