STER UV Water Sterilizer Concept
The innovative STER UV water sterilization concept has been designed for fast, simple, compact and intuitive water purifying to ensure a clean and healthy kitchen environment. The concept comprises a thin and lightweight UV light stir stick along with an induction charger that purifies drinking water directly in a pitcher, glass or other water container quickly and easily. The induction charger doesn’t require replacement of batteries or contains no heat production or moving parts, making it an energy efficient and environment friendly tool with optimum effectiveness. The most suitable stir tool length has been determined as 20cm by testing it in different containers of up to 1.5 liter capacity and the conical shape of the tool gives effective visual clues, great grip comfort and semantics. The linear lamp technology of the stir tool was chosen for both the advantage of a tip reinforcement and maximum surface exposure. Both the stick and the base are made of ABS plastic housing, creating a smooth and clean surface and stunning aesthetic.

So how does it prevent harmful UV radiation from damaging the user and potentially giving them cancer? Or did the designer just miss out on the fact that UV lights these days come with specialized glass filters/coverings that prevent the UV light from escaping?
Of course, if you blocked that on this stick idea, well, it’s not going to work at all. I suppose they could sell some kind of special pitcher or glasses to go along with it that have UV protective barriers, along with a whole horde of safety and warning material, including a warning not to stand over the thing while stirring and to avoid as much potential exposure as possible.
Although even then they can probably expect a whole slew of lawsuits from people looking for an easy target. Of course, that’s ASSuming that the FDA and various other government agencies would even let it pass into production in the first place…which isn’t likely. Simply put, this is not a safe product idea.
