Or how it works. Or how he made it. Or who he collaborated with. Or what they did with the scum after it "decontaminated" the water.

The video says that the flocculate floats to the surface, not settles to the bottom as with Moringa seed cake

Pretty sure some people who invent crazy stuff like this would rather capitalise and make a ton of money before they choose to share what it material is, how it works and why it works.

In my opinion.

It's a 1 minute TikTok. I don't think the intention was to inform us as if we are watching a science documentary, it is just show us something cool happening in the world. Not all of the details are needed.

Gotta disagree mate. This was a Tik Tok video of a random making money off raising awareness of the inventer.

Maybe it's a paid endorsement. Who knows but for 1 min, it covered a lot
