If at first, the idea is not absurd......

Working on the Albert Einstein assertion that "If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it" I have the idea of creating dehydrated water. Perfect for long distance tours

Someone's already beaten you too it. Dry water!

 

[Angelfishsolo]

Oh Bugger. Back to the drawing board lol

Just half fill your bottle. That way it weighs half the amount and you can take twice as much.

 

[yorkshiregoth]

but what would you have to add to rehydrate powdered water?

 

[Angelfishsolo]

In my absurd idea you add air.

If you are on a diet make sure you use Low Calorie Water

Urine filter on water bottle. Drink lots of water before leaving house. When necessary, piss into bottle with filter. Drink. Piss into bottle. Repeat for entire ride.


What?

Brilliant, low calorie water that contains more calories than tap water!
Whoever came up with that little gem needs shooting.

I had that idea about 20 years ago on a residential business course which I'd been made to attend! Each participant had to invent a product and explain its USP (Unique Selling Point). I suggested that dehydrated water would be an ideal product to sell to the middle east. It would be very cheap to manufacture, store and transport. Once the product got to the customer, they simply had to add water...

Another task was to make up a name for a given product, and write a marketing slogan for it. My product was a fast sports car which I named 'The Shitotte'. My slogan was "The Shitotte - because it is!"

I wasn't really taking the course that seriously !

Hull (or Kingston-Upon-Hull as I like to call it (confuses about 40% of the residents)) is certainly coming to the fore these days.

Record-breaking suspension bridge, maritime heritage, international transport hub, one of the largest council estates in the country and now DRY WATER!!!

Whatever next, a football team kicking ass in the premiership?

Sorry, I had to go a step too far didn't I?

The bridge is only fourth longest....!

Sorry for the hijack.

On Scrap Heap Challenge at lunchtime today, an episode from the second series, showed, amongst other things, a vacuum cleaner for Prairie dogs.

Do you wish to know more?

But the marketing is good!

I think that dehydrated water would be an ideal companion to my Goretex drink bladder.

The side of the bladder which is adjacent to your sweaty back is constructed of Goretex membrane. The sweat produced by the skin on your back goes thro' the Goretex into the bladder and, since it consists of water and the electrolytes of sodium and potassium, plus some other trace elements, it will chemically bind with the dehydrated water to produce a perfectly balanced sports drink, thereby destroying, at a single blow, the entire sports drink industry.

Cool idea. I like it.
