Finally, after years of claiming they were just about to get it working, Fotus, the 'self-filling' water bottle has filled for bankruptcy. The crazy thing is for ever one who goes bankrupt 5 spring up in its place. This thing is the proverbial hydra of the pseudoscience/ bullshit science world. Of course in principal it works (which seems to be what seduces most people), but its just a pointlessly expensive way of doing it- like hammering in your nails with a solid gold hammer!

Fontus consumed about the value of 10 solid gold hammers (~1kg a piece), before finally going bankrupt.

Hopefully these videos will help people stop people falling for this scam in the future!

'Self-filling water bottle' goes BANKRUPT!!

Okay, I gotta admit, I danced a little jig! https://www.ksv.at/insolvenzfaelle/insolvenz-fontus-water-technology-gmbh-1030-wien https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=YZb7_yf97Ss It really does fill me with despair though just how often this idea comes up. In reality we've understood the thermodynamics of this for over 100 years, and machines to get water from the air will always be hugely more expensive than other methods of getting water. Hell even reverse osmosis is about 100 times cheaper than running a dehumidifier to get water! You can support this channel directly here: https://www.patreon.com/Thunderf00t
