FONTUS
Fontus is a self-filling water bottle by collecting the moisture contained in the air.
Powered by solar cells, Fontus can collect up to 0,5 l safe drinking water in an hour's time by condensing the moisture contained in the air. The product can be applied in two different areas. Firstly, it may be interpreted as a sporty and useful bicycle accessory that eliminates the search for freshwater sources on long bike tours. Secondly, it might be a clever way of acquiring freshwater in regions of the world where groundwater is scarce but air humidity is high.
