- The device was designed by Kristof Retezár, an industrial design student at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna
- The prototype uses the principle of thermoelectric cooling to fill up a bottle with water when attached to a bike frame
- The designer believes that the product could be used to acquire fresh water in regions of the world where groundwater is scarce but air humidity is high
