Electric current itself? Probably not. But you can do so many other things with electricity.

The most bang for your watt is this case is probably UV light. There are several commercially available UV light water purification systems (the Katadyn Steripen comes to mind), which reportedly work quite well, as long as the water isn’t cloudy.
