Fontus Water bottle claims to make water from air. Is it possible?

Water bottle claims to make water out of thin air. Its bullshit on so many levels, but I had all the kit to do this, so I thought I'd get an estimate of what sort of thing might be possible.

I got about 60 mg of water in 10 mins running at 40 watts.
So 40 watt hours would give 0.36 g of water.
10 hours gives about 3.6 grams, 20 hrs will give about 7 grams.

My power supply is producing about 3x the power they want to use to run their device.

Water from air.... sure.... practical.... not even remotely!

I wont be adding this to the patreon supported feed, but many thanks to all those who help this channel out that way.

A couple of trouble spots with you proof of concept set up:
1. Peltier electrodes were down beneath device, allowing any condensation to short out the device.
2. Forced Air across the cool side of the Peltier, has a drying effect on any condensation that might collect.

I fucking LOVE the direction you're going with this channel! Kickstarter Mythbusters is awesome!

You're like the Myth Busters of Kickstarters ... I love it. ;)

You should get an indie-gogo sponsorship to debunk products to increase the quality of their projects and prevent consumer exploitation~

You should do these demonstration previews for all of your debunking videos.

Things never end well for moisture farmers, just ask Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.

Gotta love Thunderf00t's pseudo-science-debunking videos!

I think it's about time for some Thorium-Powered Water Bottles.

If you use the artificial gills on air and that bottle under water, both would work perfectly!

As an Arizona resident, when I first started seeing my friends sharing those self-filling-from-air water bottles my first thought was... "You realize like 90% of days here have like 5-10% humidity, right?"

Thuderf00t is bigoted against con men! :)

So we have a device that makes air from water... and a device that makes water from air. Next we'll combine the two creating a magical infinite energy generator!

After I saw a water bottle that fills itself, I knew a thunderf00t vid was on it's way.
I'm glad you addressed this, I was hoping you would.

Thunderf00t is like the Mythbusters of real life, not movies xD

They forgot to mention that the bike needs to be ridden while its storming outside, and for the rain to be funneled directly into the bottle.

So if I have say 2kw of solar panels then It should work right? ;)

Thoroughly fascinating! I very much enjoy your science videos!

What I really need is a droid who understands the binary language of moisture vaporators.

You better be careful. That fan screams patriarchy! Seriously though. Good to see you been doing more of these types of videos again. I love when you debunk most the crap people dump money into.
