The engineer says his invention was created at his mother-in-law’s dining table.
A filter on the washing machine outlet.
I’m a bit confused as to why this is being presented as a new invention. Cleaner Seas did it a few years ago:
https://www.cleaner-seas.com/for-home/how-it-works/
Edit: me no read good. Was invented 8 years ago.
Nobody’s calling it a new invention, the article explicitly states it’s been in use for years. As per the title, he’s up to win an award for it.
It’s literally the fifth word…
Fifth word of what, exactly? I don’t see anything relevant in the fifth word of the headline or the article
Edit: Oh I assume you’re referring to the word invention in the summary.
- He did invent it, years ago. This isn’t a new invention. It IS an invention by him.
- From my quick skim, it was a self cleaning device, so presumably no replaceable filters required.
Ah, my bad, I had completed missed the “8 years ago” bit in the article.
it’s not presented as new. it’s presented as his.
Pfft. I could tackle lots of little plastic
