I have to agree with the guy above me. There are several factors that are going to keep you from being able to use this in an effective manner. First being price. I highly doubt that any device that would vibrate a large quantity of water to the point of cleaning it would come cheap. Second is the sound part. How loud is this thing going to be? I think one point that is agreed upon in the ZA is that zombies WILL rely on sound as a method of locating prey. If they can use their hearing to full force do to not relying on one sense more than the other, then this device would more than likely bring them to your door step. Also as someone already mentioned it would require power to run, I don’t think a high frequency device is going to be able to run on D batteries. If it was going to require power then you would just be better off using an electric stove to boil any water you wanted to drink.

Downside, it won’t work without power. If you have power then why not buy some UV lamps and kill those microbes with light? Another method would be to use ozone to purify your water. Season 2 on discovery channel’s “The Colony” shows them making one. However without power, which will go out at some point, your best option is still purification by fire.

I know a microbiologist that occasionally uses sonication to pop TB/Smeg cells. Sounds similar. Cool stuff.
