What is an Aquaclip?

The Aquaclip is a hands free water/beverage bottle holder that converts your favorite bottle beverage into a canteen. You can view the Aquaclip in use at www.aquaclip.com.


Why as you drink an ice cold beverage on a warm day the outside of the bottle becomes wet?

Your water bottle contains some air along with the water. The air is warm when you leave the house but it cools off outside. Cooling air contracts. Since the water bottle is sealed air-tight, no new air can get in. The contracting cooling air inside the bottle exerts less internal pressure on the bottle, so the external pressure which remains constant (24 pounds per square inch) will then partially collapse the bottle.


Why does an empty sealed bottle collapse with altitude?

Actually, an empty sealed bottle should expand slightly as altitude increases. At the altitude where the bottle is sealed, the air pressure outside the bottle is equal to the air pressure inside the bottle. When the bottle is transported to a higher altitude, the air pressure inside the bottle is greater than the air pressure outside the bottle (In other words: There are more air molecules per unit volume inside the bottle than outside). The increased air pressure inside the bottle relative to the outside pressure causes the bottle to expand slightly. An empty bottle would not collapse as altitude increases.


Why when the air is sucked out a bottle it collapses?

When an empty plastic bottle is left open to the atmosphere the air pressure outside and inside the bottle are in equilibrium (does not always mean they are equal, but in this case they are equal). This means that whatever force exerted by the atmosphere on the outside of the bottle is balanced by a force from the inside of the bottle. When one sucks the air out of the bottle one removes the source of pressure and forces within the bottle. The pressure differential between air outside and inside bottle is enough to cause the bottle to collapse.Note that this will not happen so easily with glass bottles because even when one tries to suck all the air out of them, they also experience a tendency to collapse, but their structure is strong enough to withstand the pressure differences.


What happens if you take all the air out of bottle?

It will become vacuum sealed, and opening the bottle will cause a sudden release of low pressure, where higher pressure air from it's surroundings is 'sucked' into the bottle, equalizing the pressure.

because it is hot outside so the bottle sweats as it absorbs heat
