A CIGAR-SIZED GADGET that can disinfectant 300 L of water on one set of lithium camera batteries has already been fashioned. It is intended for use with canteens. But the military now is interested in having soldiers use a water-toting backpack rather than a canteen, so Co. is applying the technology to develop caps operating on AA batteries that would release disinfectant into the backpack when screwed in place. The caps could also be used on standard water bottles. They're not throwaway items, since they can treat up to 100 L of water.
