[TeeDee]

Looks an interesting bit of multifunctional kit - any thoughts ??

Looks as if it might be good, if and when they make it. However, it does nothing that isn't achieved by existing systems from katadyn and sawyer, which are proven over years of use.

Informative links are hard to come by and the NASA site is a pain to find anything technical but did dig this out.
There's no reference anywhere to "Nanalum" but this stuff sounds fairly close from the description.

Nanofiber Filters - https://www.nasa.gov/pdf/413408main_Nanofiber.pdf

The special ingredients of Argonide’s nonwoven
filtration media are nanoalumina fibers made up of
the mineral boehmite. ..........
A single layer of the resulting media,
though it has a pore size of about 2 microns, is capable
of removing greater than 99.99 percent of 0.025 micron
particles, thanks to this property

IF this is what is being used then that's some serious space age wizardry.

Seems the tech been around awhile, can purchase Argonide NanoCeram filters for household water filtering.
