Optical Engineering 18 oz Steel Bottle
Fill your fabulous new Optical Engineering flask up with coffee and get to work on your newest research project. Even if you get lost in the beauty of light, noise, and elegant wavelengths, your drink will be piping hot and ready for you whenever you come out of your reveries.
With a textured design for a unique tactile experience, this flask will keep your drink hot or cold until you're ready to enjoy it.




Here's how it works: the space between the inner and outer flask wall is evacuated, creating a vacuum (well, a partial vacuum anyway...). In order for heat transfer to take place from the outside world into your cold drink, or from your hot drink to the outside world, it needs nearby molecules to excite. If there aren't many molecules nearby, as is the case in a vacuum, the heat's energy can't easily be passed along, so your drink stays close to the temperature it was when you put it into the flask for a really long time.
Simply stated, vacuums make great thermal insulation!

Excellent water bottle
Great graphics and after 8 hours of filling, this bottle keeps things extraordinarily cold. Really remarkable and fits in all the cup holders so far - which is not the case with other containers.
