Because it’s lacking the fan, the Ryde will actually cost less than the Airo when the bottles go on sale to the public. Instead, the Ryde uses the air stream created by the motion of a bicycle to pull air into the condensation chambers. The Ryde bottle is specifically designed for cyclists it can clip onto a bike, and it doesn’t have fan on it. Or, if you’re resting for a while, it can sit and soak up the sun to fill with water. The bottle can actually clip onto a pack as you travel about, filling up all the while. The Airo is a standalone bottle, and is best suited for hikers, campers, and anyone who’s out and about with a backpack. Airo and Rydeįontus is developing not one, but two of its self-filling water bottles. The design of the prototype is attractive, and there’s even a chamber at the bottom for an optional mineral capsule for those who prefer not to drink distilled water on its own. The materials are also lightweight, so that all you’re hauling is the weight of the water it’s pulled out of the air. For starters, there’s no concern about throwing away water bottles. These bottles by Fontus offer other advantages as well. Again, with a Fontus bottle, air and sunlight are all that is needed to create water that you can drink.
Once there, the air is cooled to turn the water vapour into liquid water, and that water is collected in the bottle’s main section, where it can be stored until it’s consumed. The bottle has a solar-powered fan on it, which pulls air into the bottle’s condensation chamber. The engineering is a bit more complicated, but still easy enough to understand.
Harness that vapour and condense it, and you’ve got water that you can drink. The concept behind the bottle by Fontus is actually simple: there’s water in the air, right? Whether the humidity is high or low, there’s still some amount of water vapour in the atmosphere. It’s also, much to no one’s great surprise, an enormous crowdfunding hit, recently pulling in almost $346,000 USD on Indiegogo. It’s being billed as the world’s first self-filling water bottle, and while it may sound too good to be true, but it’s 100% real. Most recently, Fontus, a start up company out of Austria, has created the Airo – a bottle that quite literally creates water - totally potable, live-saving water to the tune of half a litre an hour - out of thin air. However, man is no dummy, and we’ve made quite a few strides to help our own cause of self preservation. The cold, the sea, the lack of viable sustenance: man succumbs to it all, and nature simply exhales and waits for the next fool who wants to test his mettle.
You don’t have to be an avid reader of Jack London or any other Naturalist literature to know that in the age-old battle of man versus nature, it never ends well for man.
