In the latest news on the BeefyDuino frontier, my friend Ryan who is the founder of elequa, the company I am helping to start, assembled eight BeefyDuino prototypes (with a little help from his friends including me). He did this because he was going to do a demonstration / workshop at the SXSW conference in which he showed a crowd of interested people how our water treatment system works.

Based on a technique called electrocoagulation (EC), it is the application on electricity to water in order to treat it for filtering. We believe that this approach to water purification can be of extremely wide application, everything from small and slow solar emergency survival units to large processing plants.

I wont get any further into the benefits of EC or our company elequa, suffice to say that we used the BeefyDuino technique to wow the audience and show off how magically effective water treatment is with EC. At this point we are taking a break from actual work on the project after our big crunch for the conference which is good because I may have some time to draw up schematics or whatnot for this project!
