In comparison with a 500mL standard bottle fixed on the downtube, the power you. The true benefits only show if you ride at 25mph (40km/h) or above. This works when air flows into an attached device and hits a series of. However, the benefits are negligible below 19mph (30km/h). According to Fontus, its Airo water bottle works by extracting humidity from the air and condensing it into drinkable water. It plans to launch the water bottle range on Indiegogo in less than two weeks. According to this study, an aero water bottle can save 1.6 to 3.9 Watts compared to a normal 500mL water bottle mounted on the downtube. ![]() The success of the bottle design has resulted in the establishment of Fontus, the startup company that develops green products to improve quality of life. Retezár says they are currently looking at including a carbon filter to block out chemicals in the city air. Take a sip of plain water from your air up® bottle and let the science of retronasal smell kick into action. It works in conjunction with an app that. This is suitable for a natural outdoor setting but not for a polluted city environment. The HidrateSpark Tap is a smart water bottle that lights up every time you should drink water. The prototype designs include a filter to keep out dust and bugs but not harmful air contaminants. The only difference between the two products is that the RYDE collects air from the airstream of a moving bike where as the AIRO relies on an inverted ventilator to suck air into its chamber. Light and air can be transformed into drinking water, Fontus Airo brings that processing in a compact water bottle. The bottles can harvest up to 0.8 litres of water in under one hour in the right climatic conditions.īoth the AIRO and the RYDE are equipped with solar cells to power their internal systems. ![]() During this process, the air molecules get separated from the water molecules, which drip down into the bottle while the dry desaturated air is released. The Fontus system harvests water by drawing humid air into a built-in cooling chamber with a water-repellent surface that slows down the air speed to facilitate condensation. The company claims the bottle, which it plans to release in two models the Airo and the cycling-specific Ryde can produce 0.5 quarts (0.5 liters) in a single hour. The self-filling water bottle range includes Fontus AIRO, the stand-alone version, and Fontus RYDE, the bicycle version. Editor's Note: The Fontus is currently available for pre-order on Indiegogo.There are two versions being offered: the stand-alone Fontus Airo (available for an early-bird price of 200, plus the. The bottle design has been nominated for a number of industry awards including the prestigious James Dyson Award, for its ability to collect moisture from the air and store it as safe drinking water. Fontus self-filling water bottles were invented by Austrian industrial designer Kristof Retezár.
