LOL,
Can produce .5 quartz of water over who knows how long, you just have to ride your bike in 86 to 104 degree temperature while 80% to 90% humidity. I don’t know about you, that sounds like torture!
@Travis_Zinger nice find on cool idea, not sure the return on labor is worth the labor.
It claims to produce that rate in a day, which is hardly enough water to compensate for what you loose by riding in those conditions.
And I have regularly ridden in those conditions when I was in Florida… It isn’t torture, but you would be better off wearing a still suit if you wanted to reclaim water…
From the article.
“Over the course of an hour, Fontus can produce roughly 0.5 quarts of water.”
I spit on your comment as a token of respect.
Here is a fun chart of what it feels like at different temperature compared to relative humidity.

Didn’t actual read the study.
Now Walter rides in these temperatures no problem
Riding at moderate speeds generates airflow over you. So I actually find riding in those temperatures to be a bit more comfortable then sitting. I know plenty of people who sun bathe in those conditions. I always found that to be unbearably hot.
Bless the maker and his water.
Unfortunately I could only “like” this post once.
Riding really, really fast cools you down even more!
Vrrrrrrrrooom…
I’m wondering if it makes the water cold since you have to go below the dew point to get water. I’d consider it, I used to ride a lot of mountain bike. Even with a 100 or 110 oz bladder I would run out of water. I used to ride about 35-45 miles on a weekend(Saturday or Sunday) & 30-40 during the week. I had to start carrying more water with me.
Love that guy’s stuff, but I can only listen to his only-sold-on-TV voice for so long before my ears start to hurt.
Love the title…20 characters and then some.
If it was that great then you’d see Bear Grylls or Les Stroud with it on their shows.
