Interesting - self filling water bottle and a cool vid
Being that many of us in the Northern Hemisphere are hunkered down waiting for spring, I found this is a time for interesting diversions including foo that normally might be best saved for other forums.
I stumbled on this today and thought it'd be interesting to some: Self Filling Water Bottle
And now for something completely different, I had buddy of mine send me this and thought it was worth my time to watch: Danny Macaskil: The Ridge

Cool tech idea...BUT like the BioLite stove, I'm skeptical about relying on it, day-to-day, in a touring scenario. Whenever marketing literature uses the words "in the right conditions" I'm leery.

I assume it would need a humid environment. Can't get much water out of the air in an arid or semi-arid climate.

When it's that humid and the sun is beating down and you're riding your bicycle, I reckon you might be loosing much more water perspiring than this system would be capturing

Not sure, but here it is on Google Earth. Very beautiful scenery - I think I need to take a trip to Scotland.

It does seems to me the technology isn't dependent on a bicycle. I could see where this technology could be very handy for people in humid environments where there isn't a good source of water. Small tropical atolls for example. As far as cycling - I think you'd need a bigger one to get anywhere near enough water.

A couple of those and a stilsuit would be all you need to cross Death Valley... Of course you would need to watch out for the spice smugglers and sand worms...

This is another example of the silliness we call "progress" in bicycle technology. In the 40+ years I've been riding, I haven't seen one new invention that improved the cycling experience. This might be the beginning of a very useful tool for the future in places where water supplies are drying up, but as a bicycling accessory...?
