Emergency Water Packet
Manufacturing Licenses Available
...This is an emergency water packet which can provide chilled water to soldiers, fire fighters, athletes, hikers, cyclists, campers, scouts, the Red Cross, families on trips, and commuters stuck in traffic. Unlike other commercially available water packets, the HinesLab emergency water packet uses evaporative cooling to chill the water before opening. The hotter and dryer the climate, the more effective the cooling technique.
...The emergency water packet is a sanitary inner packet inside an outer packet that serves as a handle. The outer packet is opened by peeling back the corner tabs to let the inner packet drop to the end of a connecting string. The inner packet which now hangs from the string has an outer surface which is slightly moist.

The inner packet:

...The inner packet should be spun about 20 times, to evaporate the outer moisture. |
...The cross section shows the potable water contained in a water-tight pouch. The outer surface of this inner packet is water absorbent so that when exposed to the open air, evaporation from the outer coating causes cooling of the potable water contained inside. The hotter and dryer the climate, the more effective the evaporative cooling.
