Humidity-Harnessing Bottles

This Self-Filling Water Bottle Draws Water Vapor Out Of the Air

— January 29, 2016 — Art & Design
The Fontus bottle is a self-filling water bottle, not yet available in the market, that is claimed to be able to extract water vapor from the air to convert to water to fill itself with.

Its design makes use of a condensation chamber that extracts humidity and converts it into safe drinking water. When humid air enters the bottle, it makes contact with high-tech hydrophobic surfaces that attract water droplets while keeping out dust and other unwanted materials. The bottle, which will be released in the Airo model and the cycling-centric Ryde design -- will be able to produce as much as half a liter of water an hour .

This self-filling water bottle could be of great use to a number of people ranging from cyclists and endurance athletes to explorers, hikers and people in military scenarios.



Trend Themes
1. Self-filling Water Bottles - The development of self-filling water bottles, like the Fontus, presents opportunities for companies to innovate and create new products for outdoor enthusiasts, military personnel and emergency situations.
2. Humidity Extraction Technology - As humidity extraction technology advances, other industries such as HVAC and indoor agriculture could benefit by using this technology to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
3. Hydrophobic Surface Materials - The use of hydrophobic surface materials in water filtration could lead to the development of more efficient and sustainable filtering systems in the water industry.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Gear and Apparel - The outdoor gear and apparel industry could incorporate self-filling water bottles into their product line for outdoor enthusiasts, adventurers and soldiers on the field.
2. HVAC Systems - HVAC industry can create innovative solutions for extracting humidity from air and could benefit from the advancements in technology made to humidity harvesting devices.
3. Water Filtration Systems - The water filtration industry could innovate by exploring the use of hydrophobic surface materials for filtration membranes, which could lead to more effective and eco-friendly water purification systems.
