Fontus features small cooler at the center called Peltier Element, when powered by electricity, the upper side cools down and the bottom side gets hot. When you cool the hot side down, the colder upper side will become. In this way, these 2 sides are separated and isolated from each other. When the air enters the bottom chamber when you moving forward with your bike, it cools down the hot side down. On the other hand, when the air enters the upper chamber, it is blocked by perforated little walls, reducing its speed in order to give the air the time to lose its water molecules.
