How to make a humidifier with your own hands

The humidifier is useful both in summer and in winter. Fans, air conditioners, heaters and hot batteries make the microclimate in the house dry and uncomfortable. First of all, children and elderly family members who suffer from colds more often suffer. An adult is also hard to endure drought, so many people decide to buy an expensive machine that can be made with their own hands.

 How to make a humidifier

Elementary option

Budget adaptation will require a minimum investment. You will need a plastic bottle from under water or a carbonated beverage of 1.5–2 l. Plus bandages, two pieces of cloth, scissors and scotch. Rinse the container with clean water to remove odors, and tighten the lid tightly. At the top cut a hole the size of a matchbox or lighter.Hang the bottle on the battery, using pieces of cloth, and fix it with scotch tape so that it does not turn over and the water is not on the floor.

Fill the container with liquid, cut off two strips of bandage or gauze about a meter or a bit longer. Immerse one end of the flap in the water, wind the other around the battery. Cuts should look in opposite directions, because the more area they capture, the fresher it will be in the room. This humidifier works with hot batteries or an open window. Instead of a bottle that does not look very attractive, use ceramic vases or other containers. They perform a decorative function and at the same time maintain the desired level of humidity in the room.

Haydite fixture

The design consists of 4 garbage buckets: 2 large and 2 small, aquarium pump and cooler from the old computer. As a filler, large expanded clay is used, which should not be poured out of containers. You will need a regular plastic bucket with a volume of 12–15 liters, and a construction dryer or screed will help to fasten the parts together.

To put one small bucket on the second, so that they would be joined by the “necks”. Glue and place in larger containers that are held together in the same way. To make a hole in the upper shell through which you need to fill the clay. Small buckets remain empty. This is necessary for air circulation inside the structure and the filler.

Put a homemade humidifier in a plastic water bucket and put an aquarium pump in it. Fix the tubes at the top of the structure so that the water is evenly distributed throughout the filler. In the bottom of the upper bucket make a hole for the cooler, which will ensure air circulation and evaporation of the liquid. It remains to fill the tank with water, connect to the network and keep away from small children and animals.

Important: Before using, the clay must be thoroughly washed and sanitized, because the quality of the air and the health of family members depend on its cleanliness.

Compact device

If you need a small humidifier for an office or a small room, you can adapt a container for baby wipes and a half-liter plastic bottle for these needs.The device will work from the network, so you should stock up with an AC / DC adapter and a switch, wire, fan from the old computer and aluminum plates. Useful filter, scissors for working with metal files and drill, scissors and a soldering iron.

 Compact humidifier

Body preparation
Cut a hole in the upper lid of the box, leaving small edges around the edges. They make a couple of cuts with a thickness of about 6 mm, for this you can use a knife. They are needed for fixing aluminum plates.

It is necessary to determine which side will be installed filter and bottle. If next to the left panel, then it makes from 10 small holes to get a kind of colander. From the bottom of the container, 5–6 cm recede, because to work it is necessary to pour water into it. To grind edges of openings to make them smooth and to clean a crumb.

Top panel and water tank
The aluminum plate is used to make the top panel, so it must be of appropriate size so that it does not fall into the container. On the left, cut a hole for the bottle. The container will stand neck down and should not slip into the box.A second hole is made for the fan, plus a small cutout for the switch. Recommend to make the right measurements, and draw circles on the plate, so as not to cut more than necessary.

Install the finished cover on the container and pour hot glue to fix the panel in place and cover the extra holes. Screw the fan from the inside to the plate, solder the wires to it: negative to the negative power supply, and positive to the positive connector. Connect the device to the switch and install the plug, securing the result with hot glue or electrical tape.

It remains to cut out four identical teeth from the bottle neck. Cut a piece of the filter and glue it to the wall with the holes. Cover the container with a panel with a fan, fill the bottle with water and quickly turn over so that the liquid does not have time to pour into the container. A half-liter tank lasts for 8–9 hours of continuous operation of the humidifier. Connect the adapter to the network and press the switch.

Ultrasound option

As the body fit plastic bucket from under the paint, which is carefully washed from the remnants of the filler.The function of the spray gun and the mounting system for the fan is performed by pipes of 50 mm diameter. The length of the nozzle is 10-15 cm. The fan is taken from the old computer along with the power supply. The device is attached to one of the segments with a glue gun.

 Ultrasonic Air Humidifier

Inside the bucket is placed a float, which is made of foam and disposable cups. In this design will be located an ultrasonic emitter, which is also sold under the name mist maker. Cut a hole in the foam to fit a cup in it. Hollow the hole in two places. The holes must be small so that the water enters in small portions.

Put the emitter into the cup and lower the float into a bucket filled with water. In the lid, make two holes for the pipe, plus one small one, to bring out the fog breaker wire. Turn on the fan, which should blow inside the bucket, not vice versa. Just a few minutes from the second pipe will go cold steam, which will moisten the room.

Important: When working with electrical appliances, rubber gloves and slippers or boots should be worn to prevent accidents.All exposed parts of the wires are covered with tape. A homemade moisturizer needs to be kept away from children.

Decorative instrument

In a wicker basket of bread or cosmetics to put an enamel bowl or other dishes that are not afraid of water. Fill the space between the walls of the first and second accessory with large stones, and fill the voids with small pebbles or sand. Bask outside pasted over with shells and other decorations. Fill a bowl with water and place a decorative humidifier next to an open window or a running fan.

Simple models of improvised tools will be inexpensive, and their production will not take much time. Complicated options require certain investments, but even they are cheaper than a factory humidifier.
