With this drum you will never run out of water: it gets it directly from the air!

When you go out to make a long bicycle route there are times when the tiredness that your muscles accumulate forces you to turn around. But on many occasions this decision depends on the amount of water that is left in the drum. It is not always possible to find a source of drinking water where to fill it and The kilometers you complete that day depend on the amount of drums you carry on your bicycle. What if you could carry a single drum that was filled with water along the way without having a tap on hand? It sounds like science fiction, but the truth is that this idea has implemented an Austrian industrial design student. His invention is called Fontus and it is about A drum prototype that extracts moisture from the air by condensation and stores it in the form of liquid water. The faster and far as you pedal, the more water you get Its operation is as follows: the air enters through a duct inside a capacitor and, due to the temperature difference with respect to the outside, moisture is condensed and deposited drop by drop on the drum. According to its inventor, in areas with an environmental humidity above 50% It would be possible to obtain half a liter of liquid water per hour. Its manufacturing cost ranges between $ 25 and $ 40.
