But instead of rolling to the bottom, they are absorbed by a layer of cloth that surrounds the Botl. As the bike moves, wind hits the damp cloth, producing the same cooling effect that evaporating sweat does on human skin. The result? The contents of the Botl are cooled, though it's unclear just how much of a temperature drop the phenomenon yields. It's a design that's so simple, it's just begging to be made into a DIY project. Since ideas that appear on Yanko...
