A bottle that uses ultraviolet light to sterilise drinking water has won the UK leg of the James Dyson Award.
The Pure bottle is the brainchild of Timothy Whitehead, a design and technology graduate from Loughborough University, who had the idea while travelling in Zambia.
It eliminates the need for chlorine and iodine tablets which take 30 minutes to work and can leave an unpleasant taste.
The invention will now go forward to the awards' global final in October.
The water bottle contains two chambers. Dirty water is put in an outer chamber and the inner chamber is plunged through it, filtering water particles as small as four microns.
Once filtered, the water is sterilised by a wind-up ultraviolet bulb in a process lasting 90 seconds
