A quick clarification here. The water purification machine does not make power. That product is called the sterling engine. It is a common mistake and they are related in their intended use but 2 separate things all together.

As for the nobel prize...I don't think that dean has achieved the level of the nobel prize yet. That is not to say that he won't but so far his products have not been "world changing." Dean's inventions are good and help many people every day but how is that different then the many other medical products out there? If he were to win the prize I believe that he would be more likely to get it because of FIRST then any specific invention so far.
