Dean Kamen's Water Regenerator

I would buy this product! Makes enough electricity to power 70 light bulbs in your house from only water!

Price on this thing is supposed to be between $1000 and $2000.

I got out my calculator. I estimate the approximate wattage (based on high efficiency bulb quote above of 22 watts each) of 1.54 kw @ 120 v for this thing. Lets see what we can power with that:

I saw a demonstration of this on the IFC series "Iconoclasts". Isabella Rossellini was talking to Kamen in the show and he showed off this and a new type of tracked wheelchair for rough terrain. If you get a chance to watch the show, check it out.
