I found that segment hilarious, but I'm wondering if these guys were inspired by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar conducting his early business through his SL avatar.

Germstore posted:https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fontus-the-self-filling-water-bottles#/ Even with a reliable power source (ie not a tiny lovely solar cell, but just plugged in to the mains) this thing would probably take a week to fill up. Do people actually think this thing will magically fill up after they've been hiking for an hour? We have a dehumidifier in our kitchen (we have a dampness problem  ), and it's on practically all day, and even then it takes a little over a week to fill up its 3.5 liter tank. So if this tiny water bottle somehow packed the efficiency of a full sized compressor, it'd still take approximately two days to fill up!I feel like everyone is taking crazy pills.

unless you're wandering through a desert how is this in any way preferable to carrying around water purification tablets or a charcoal filter or whatever. and on a bicycle couldn't you do the traditional thing and just carry the amount of water you might need for your trip?

If you told me you were a rich billionaire but I had to do business with you through Second Life I would assume you were just completely full of poo poo. I'm surprised he got people to play along, but I guess that's the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire.

quote:We cannot guarantee that Fontus will deliver a constant water output in all conditions and may produce little or no water at all under some conditions. Even if the thing worked this would directly contradicts the "No need to plan trip around water resources" bullet point. Oops, it turned out to be less humid than I expected; now I'm dead. "No excess waste" isn't really a factor since normal not-magic water bottles exist. And looking at their impossibly high "efficiency factors" at 60% humidity and 5 hours with the ride and another 2.5 hours with the airo you'd get about two liters, so you'd need supplemental water anyway. Even if their impossible claims were true the only situation where you'd get enough water is if you are staying in the same place all day.

Maw posted:They're really missing a trick by not having switchable pockets too. Okay, hear me out here ..... switchable pants that also have switchable pant legs, so not only can you have 4 different colours at the same time but you can also leave off the legs and then they're shorts! Also t-shirts with zips so you can attach your pants legs and your pants pocket to the t-shirt and turn it into a polo!
