This Bike Accessory Converts Air to Water and Fills a Water Bottle

Exercise and water go hand-in-hand. However, when you’re venturing out into the great unknown, sometimes it can be difficult to fill up on water. Design student Kristof Retezar has come up with the concept for a self-filling water bottle that’s powered via bicycle.

Called the Fontus, the bicycle attachment utilizes the idea of thermoelectric cooling, passing humid air through solar cells and condensing moisture from the air into droplets of water. While in motion, the device captures up to a half liter of water an hour, depending on the climate.

Although it’s just a prototype, Retezar plans to refine the device to include a purification system for heavily polluted cities.

This thing could either change the world or be something hybrid owners brag about when waiting in line for coffee.

The Fontus is currently looking for crowd-funding and investors for mass production.
