WHILE THE PEOPLE CAN DRY OFF JUST FINE, THE TELEPHONES IN THEIR POCKETS GENERALLY AREN’T SO LUCKY.
FORTUNATELY, A NEW INVENTION AIMS TO FIX THE DAMAGE DONE WHEN WATER AND TECHNOLOGY - MIX. MARC STEWART TALKED WITH THE BUSINESSMEN WHO COOKED UP A VERY SPECIAL OVEN.
FROM THE TOILET TO THE TAP. MILLIONS OF PHONES ARE DAMAGED EVERY YEAR BY WATER.
(Liz Diloreto, Phone saved) "I accidentally spilled water on it."
LIZ DILORETO'S PHONE ALMOST BECAME A STATISTIC. "WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOUR PHONE NOW?"
(Liz Diloreto, Phone saved) "It works now."
HER LIFELINE TO THE WORLD SAVED BY THIS MACHINE. AN INVENTION AT THE HANDS OF THESE TWO MEN MADE HERE COLORADO. YOU'VE HAVE RELATIVES WHO'VE DROPPED THEIR PHONES IN TOILETS, YOU'VE SAID?
(Craig Beinecke, Inventor) "That was our early business, mostly friends and family."
ENGINEERS & D-U BIZ SCHOOL GRADS CRAIG BEINECKE AND ADAM COOKSON ARE THE BRAINS BEHIND TEKDRY. THEIR MACHINE CAN SAVE A PHONE IN JUST ABOUT AN HOUR. THE INSPIRATION: A CLASSMATE WHO DROPPED HER PHONE IN THE LOO. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS I-PHONE AND DROP IT IN THE TOILET. ABOUT 50 MINUTES LATER. MY CONTACTS ARE HERE. AND THE POWER IS GOOD.
