We make a humidifier with our own hands. The floor fan turns. How to decorate a homemade humidifier with inexpensive materials

The ingenuity of the Russian people is admirable. Many of our compatriots prefer to make a humidifier with their own hands instead of buying expensive branded devices. The device of such devices is quite simple, and you can make them from improvised means at home. We will try to highlight the most popular designs in this article, as well as give detailed recommendations on how to recreate them.

Why you need humidifiers

The normal functioning of the main systems of the human body depends on many factors. Not the last place among them is the microclimate of the room and the quality of the surrounding air. Health professionals urge more breathing fresh air, walk away from dusty roads and highways.

The optimal microclimate in the house is especially difficult to maintain in the cold season, when the heating devices start to work. Radiators dry out the air, which negatively affects people's health. You may notice the following negative symptoms: chronic fatigue, dry hair and skin, drowsiness, sore throat, shortness of breath. The immune system weakens and can no longer normally resist bacterial and viral infections. For people resorting to vision correction with contact lenses, dry air is completely contraindicated. The role of a healthy microclimate cannot be overestimated for families with small children. A fragile child's body requires special conditions for normal growth and development.

Dry air is dangerous not only for human health - it destroys houseplants, spoils parquet and wooden furniture.

By using a humidifier at home, you support optimal humidity rooms, thereby preventing plants from drying out and furniture from drying out.

Take care of yourself and your loved ones - buy in a store or make homemade humidifier air at home.

Despite the fact that there are many designs and variations in the design of do-it-yourself humidifiers, they all perform one task - they support required level humidity in the room.

Attention! Too high humidity in the apartment is also undesirable. Try to keep this figure below 60%.

Options for homemade humidifiers

You can make an air humidifier at home both from improvised materials, and by purchasing missing details. In any case, the final cost of the resulting device will be much lower than branded devices, and the work efficiency will be almost the same.

This group of humidifiers is simple in design. The main thing is the availability of free access to the heating radiator (it should not be built into the wall or hidden by decorative panels).

The simplest do-it-yourself battery humidifiers

The most elementary way to humidify the air is to use a wet cloth or towel. Hang wet material on the radiator, the moisture will immediately begin to evaporate. Remember that the towel on the battery dries quickly: you need to moisten it regularly, and then repeat the described procedure. The advantages of this method are obvious. Of the shortcomings, we note the low efficiency - air humidification occurs only near the battery.

If you do not want to constantly “on duty” at the radiator, wetting the towel, place a basin filled with water near the radiator and lower one end of the fabric into it. Hang the other end on a radiator - water soaks the canvas and gradually evaporates on the battery.

Water containers

Simple but enough effective way humidification of the air in the room - containers with water, placed or fixed on the battery. They can be of any material, any shape and size. Humidification of the air by this method occurs naturally, and all that is required is to fill the vessels with water from time to time.

The advantages of such humidifiers are that they can become an element of room decor, the disadvantages are a weak level and locality of humidification.

bottle humidifier

A homemade humidifier made from a plastic bottle can effectively humidify your home. This type of air humidifiers on the battery has a simple device, does not require specialized knowledge, and it can be built from simple materials present in every home:

Radiator
knife or scissors
plastic bottle, 1.5 or 2 l
scotch
thick cloth or rope
1 meter gauze

The design of the humidifier from the bottle:

This method allows not only to effectively humidify the air, but also to regulate the degree of humidification. And you can do this in two ways:

A bottle of water - if you want to increase hydration, tie the bottle closer to the radiator; place it away from the radiator if you need to reduce the degree of humidification.
Gauze swabs - if you want to increase hydration, tie two tourniquets.

Homemade humidifier from a bottle and a fan

For its operation, you will need a small household fan (you can use it from a computer) and a power supply.

Materials:

big plastic bottle volume 10-12 l
fan connected to the power supply

Design:

We cut the neck of the bottle so that it is convenient to attach the fan from above.
Stepping back 10 - 15 cm from the top in the walls of the bottle around the entire perimeter, make holes - humidified air will escape through them.
Fill the bottle with water without topping up to the holes.
Mount the fan on top so that it directs air into the device.

To the virtues this device include ease of manufacture, minimum costs on production and efficiency. The disadvantages are obvious: unaesthetic design and the need to disconnect the cooler every time you add water.

It is possible to further simplify this model of air humidification. Take any container with water and direct the air flow from the fan onto its surface. To increase the intensity of evaporation, place the entire structure next to the heating element.

Plastic container humidifier

This model is an improved version of the previous humidifier. Its efficiency is increased by increasing the evaporation surface, and the use of special filters allows you to clean and disinfect the air.

Necessary materials:

plastic container (10-15 liters)
fan with a diameter of 12-14 cm with a power supply
highly absorbent fabric (napkins, gauze, microfiber)
fishing line

Design:

Make a hole in the center of the container lid for the cooler. Attach the fan by directing the air flow from it to the inside of the container.
On the opposite walls of the container, at the very top at the same level, make 2 rows of holes through which pull and fasten several lines of fishing line, as for drying clothes.
Along the perimeter of the tank, in its upper half, drill a grid of holes for the exit of humidified and purified air.
Hang the napkins on the fishing line so that they reach the bottom of the container.
Fill the container with water without topping up to the holes. To disinfect water, you can add potassium permanganate (1-2 grams per 10 liters) or a few drops of cedar, pine or lemon aroma oil to it.

Pros of this humidifier:

ease of assembly and operation
low energy consumption
simultaneous humidification and air purification

little performance
the need for frequent change of napkins and washing the container

The principle of operation of expanded clay humidifier is based on the property this material intensively release and absorb moisture. Before placing expanded clay in the device, it must be thoroughly rinsed with warm water from dust and dirt.

For the manufacture of the product you will need:

bucket or container with a capacity of at least 12 liters
2 large and 2 small wastebaskets (the openings of which will be smaller than the size of expanded clay granules)
aquarium compressor
a small fan (maybe a computer one) with a power supply

Expanded clay humidifier assembly guide:

plastic ties or building hair dryer connect two small wastebaskets along the rims - we will get the inner capsule of the future unit.

Fasten large baskets in a similar way, after placing the product body obtained in the previous step inside. The result is double layer construction, between the walls of which expanded clay will fall asleep.
Cut off the bottom of the upper basket or make holes in it through which expanded clay is poured. You can make curly cutouts so that later it would be more convenient to mount the fan.

Remember that the expanded clay fraction must be more holes the baskets themselves.

On the side inside the basket, attach rubber hose or a plastic ring in which you first make small holes. Thanks to this ring, the water pumped by the pump will be evenly distributed over the expanded clay (by type drip irrigation) and drain back into the container.

At the bottom of the bucket of water we place an aquarium pump, on top we place a structure of baskets with expanded clay. We remove the tubes from the pump and attach them to the ring at the top of the device.
At the very top of the future humidifier, you need to install a fan so that it blows air into the device. Due to its work, air is driven through the expanded clay walls saturated with water, thereby moistening.

Do-it-yourself ultrasonic humidifier

The principle of operation of this system is simple: ultrasonic emitter(can be bought online, in hardware stores). Then, inside the device, with the help of a cooler (a small fan), air circulation is created: dry is injected into the container, and wet fog is supplied outside. The intensity of humidification can be adjusted by the power of the fan, as well as the number of emitters. The disadvantage of this type of humidifier is the mandatory use of distilled water for their operation.

Necessary materials:

a bucket or large plastic container with a lid (construction, paint, food container)
small cooler with power supply
ultrasonic steamer
voltage converter for 24 V, electrical wire and fork
a plastic cup
Styrofoam
10 - 15 cm of corrugated tube or piece of plastic plumbing pipe small diameter

Assembly order:

In the lid of the container, make 3 holes, the shape and size of which will correspond to the cooler, the mist-removing pipe, as well as the wires from the emitter.
Attach a fan to the lid so that it blows air inside. Mount the outlet pipe, treating the place where the pipe joins the cover with a sealant.
For the steam generator, make a “float”, so that it will constantly be on the surface of the water, providing smooth operation humidifier. To do this, insert a plastic cup into the foam in the hole previously cut for it. Punch a few holes in the bottom plastic cup for water to enter, and attach a piece of cloth (such as gauze) to the very bottom with an elastic band - it will act as a filter. Place the emitter inside the device.
Connect the emitter in series to the voltage converter and the wire with the plug. Isolate all connections.
Fill the container with water, lower the float with the emitter there and close the lid tightly. Homemade ultrasonic humidifier ready for work.

To increase the efficiency of the humidifier, install 2 fans - for air intake and exhaust.

Choose for yourself which way it is easier for you to make a humidifier with your own hands. With almost no time, effort and Money, you can build devices at home that contribute to the organization of a healthy and comfortable indoor microclimate. Remember that you need to take care of your health at any time of the year, and with a homemade humidifier, it is much easier to do this. Thanks to his work, you will forget about the common cold, allergies, gain a lot of strength, healthy sleep, become more cheerful and active, and your indoor plants will delight with their flowering appearance.

The level of humidity is one of the most important indicators of the microclimate. Dry indoor air can cause poor health and even health problems. How to increase the humidity in the apartment, if you don’t want to spend money on expensive equipment? There are ways - you can either make a humidifier with your own hands, or use improvised means.

Are you tired quickly? Allergy haunted? Are you sick often? Perhaps dry air is to blame. Low humidity- especially in winter period- becomes a problem in many homes and leads to negative consequences.

To humidify the room, it is absolutely not necessary to buy expensive devices. However, do not think that a basin of water in the middle of the room will solve the problem of low humidity once and for all: alternative ways are not as effective as, so they can only be considered a temporary measure.

Why you need to humidify the air in the apartment

Keeping an eye on the humidity level is a must. But what is harmful dry air in the apartment?
Why do you need a humidifier in the apartment - at least homemade?

Dry air causes a sore throat, cough, dries the mucous membranes of the nose and eyes; eye problems are especially relevant for those who use lenses.
Air with low humidity and high dust content is especially dangerous for children, asthmatics and allergy sufferers. In addition, the risk of allergies increases in healthy people.
With a lack of moisture, fatigue often increases, drowsiness, sometimes even occurs.
Hair and nails become more brittle and faded, and the skin dries out.
In dry, warm air, bacteria and viruses tend to multiply faster, and hence the risk of disease increases.
Dry air negatively affects not only humans. From a lack of humidity, houseplants stop growing or dry out, wooden furniture, windows, doors, musical instruments etc.

The list is impressive. However, there are too many consequences, so it is better to observe the golden mean.

To make the apartment comfortable, it is necessary to maintain a humidity level of 40-60%. About, for example, in a nursery or office, you can also read on our blog.

indoors in a number of ways. If you do not have special tools at hand, you can use folk ways. Of course, it is impossible to determine the exact figure, but if the room needs to be humidified, you will definitely know about it.

Pour water into a bottle.
Put it in the refrigerator for several hours.
Remove the container and leave it in the room for five minutes. The walls of the bottle will quickly become covered with condensate.
If after five minutes the drops on the bottle are almost dry, then the air in the room is very dry. When excessive high humidity drops will turn into a small puddle. If the drops slowly slide along it, then the humidity is normal.

A spruce cone will also help measure the level of humidity. A fully opened cone indicates low humidity; if the scales of the cone are only slightly open or tightly pressed against each other, then there is no problem with moisture.

To find out the exact moisture content of the air, you will need hygrometer. The main thing is to put it away from batteries and other heating appliances: so you get the most reliable information.

If you want to know not only the level of air humidity, but also other indicators of the microclimate (for example, temperature and content in the air carbon dioxide), then you should pay attention to the smart microclimate system. It allows not only to monitor the characteristics of the air in the house, but also to automatically control the climate control equipment.

The most common advice for humidifying the air in an apartment is to put wet towels to the battery. But the towels will often have to be moistened, which is not very convenient. more elegant and creative solution There will be special humidifiers for the heating battery.

These humidifiers are a container into which water is poured. The vessel is hung on the battery, and the water in it gradually evaporates, filling the room with moisture. Most humidifiers different forms and sizes are made of ceramics, plastic, steel and other materials.

Judging by the reviews, the most popular option is a ceramic humidifier. True, its evaporation area is small, so it is better to hang two or three devices on radiators. Ceramic humidifiers are inexpensive, their fasteners are usually reliable, and the variety of shapes, colors and decorative paintings will make it easy to choose a copy that matches your interior.

Rigid tap water can spoil appearance container walls. Therefore, before pouring water, it is worth filtering it.

1. You can make a battery humidifier with your own hands:

The main thing is to choose a product from a material that does not melt when high temperature. Suitable ceramic vases or bottles, dishes made of heat-resistant plastic, etc. Can do home humidifier and from a plastic bottle, but then you will have to forget about the aesthetic side.
It is necessary to make a hole in the container and stretch a reliable fastener into it. Strong wire is fine.
The final look of a homemade humidifier is entirely up to you! You can paint it with paints, make an applique, cover it with a beautiful fabric.
So that the room is filled not only with moisture, but also pleasant smell, you can add a couple of drops to the water essential oil with your favorite scent.

2. The easiest way to humidify the air at home is take a spray bottle and spray water around the room or put a water tank in front of a fan. You can also put a pot or an ajar kettle with boiling water in the room. But you should not abuse this method: hot steam has a bad effect on the durability of wallpaper and furniture.

3. The next method is similar to the previous one, only it turns into a humidifier kitchen stove. Place a pot or other container of water on the stove and boil over low heat. Add cinnamon sticks, lavender, orange peels, or apple peels to give your home a pleasant scent. Remember to make sure the water doesn't boil away.

4. The bathroom is known to be the source of the highest humidity in the house. Leave the bathroom door open after taking a shower is an easy way to add a little extra moisture to the air.

5. Not sure how to deal with low humidity? Clean up your entire wardrobe! You will effortlessly fill the air with moisture if you dry your clothes on the radiator or next to it. So you will kill two birds with one stone: things will dry faster, and the humidity will increase.

Basically, a hydrogel is decorative ground, which is used in floriculture, but it will also work for humidifying the air. Instead of placing basins and pots around the house, you can put hydrogel in the form of colored balls in beautiful glassware. Under the influence of moisture, they increase in size several times and gradually release moisture to the air in the room.

Do not forget to add water to the container with balls from time to time so that the evaporation process does not stop.

The microclimate in your home can improve a little if you arrange a small home garden. , a moot point, but some specimens can help in moisturizing: plants need little water from the ground, 99% of moisture evaporates through leaves, flowers and stems.

You should choose moisture-loving plants that need regular watering or spraying, such as ficuses, ferns (for example, nephrolepis is a type of fern), hibiscus, dracaena, etc. And do not turn the mini-garden into a jungle - a few plants that complement the interior will be enough.

Any container with water can become a humidifier, since water tends to gradually evaporate. Aquarium - the same container with water. You need to choose outdoor aquarium without a lid - closed models are not suitable for our task. The only drawback is that the aquarium and the fish in it must be constantly looked after.

An air humidifier is a device that serves to create comfortable air humidity for the human body in the range from 40 to 70%. At home, in the presence of hands from the shoulders and necessary materials for design, it is quite possible to assemble a device that is in no way inferior to a purchased analogue.

Air humidifiers are divided into three types according to the principle of operation:

On cold steam. The principle of operation is as follows - due to the temperature difference between water and air, steam is formed, and the fan on the device helps to spray the evaporating water in the room.
Steam device. The vessel in which the water is located is heated, and the steam formed during the evaporation of water leaves the vessel into the room. Such devices have low productivity, so they are not widely used.
ultrasonic device- a relatively new invention, in which, by means of ultrasound, water is converted into steam, after which it is sprayed around the room. Outperforms analogues on cold steam in performance.

How to create an ultrasonic humidifier at home: scheme and work plan

ultrasonic transducer;
computer cooler for the processor;
plastic bottle with a capacity of 5-10 liters;
plastic cup;
a ring from a children's toy-pyramid;
power supply for 24 V, with a converter from 24 to 12 V;
plastic corrugated pipe;
aluminum corner.

Attention! Pure distillate is used for the operation of the humidifier with the ultrasonic transducer!

Holes are drilled in the lid of the container with an electric drill for mounting the cooler mount. The steam generator wire, outlet tube and fasteners are inserted into these holes, after which the fan is screwed to the container, and a plastic corrugated pipe is inserted.

The steam generator must always be on the surface of the water, for which it is placed in a platform made of a plastic cup. The glass is inserted into the ring from the children's pyramid, a hole is drilled in the bottom of the glass, a piece of fabric is attached to the bottom by means of an elastic band. The fabric in this case is needed as a filter. Then the steam generator is inserted into the cup.

The device does not require special care and maintenance, the only thing is that it is necessary to control that there is always water in it.

Important! The humidifier requires 24 volts for operation, and 12 volts for the fan. Therefore, the fan is powered through the stabilizer! It makes sense to use a variable resistor with an adjustment knob for smooth power adjustment, and place the converter chip and the resistor itself under an aluminum corner.

How to make a do-it-yourself humidifier from a plastic bottle: video recommendations

In general, you can collect a lot of things from plastic bottles. When designing a humidifier, you can go in two ways:

Make a cut along the side of the bottle along its length, approximately 10X2 cm, in the form of a rectangular window. The structure is suspended under a straight horizontal section of the heating pipe 10–20 centimeters from it. The bottle is filled with water. A strip of gauze about 10 cm wide and 1 meter long is cut out, the end of which falls into the cut-window. The gauze is wrapped around the pipe, and the process has begun. The advantages of the method are the simplicity and cheapness of the device, the minus is the low productivity due to the direct evaporation of water without spraying.
Large, with a capacity of 10-20 liters, plastic bottle cut off the throat so that you can attach a cooler from the computer to it. We fix the cooler using the old computer block We supply 12 volts to it. On the sides of the bottle, about 7–10 centimeters from the top, we make holes for air to escape. Pour water just below the level of the holes, using adhesive tape, attach the cooler to the neck of the bottle. We turn on the power supply unit in the outlet - the device starts to function. Pluses - simplicity and efficiency of the device, minus - not very neat in terms of aesthetics design, the need to disconnect the cooler every time when filling the tank with water.

How to make a humidifier on a battery with your own hands

The first option was described above, you can use plastic eggplant by hanging it under the heating pipe. The second way is to put a metal pan, a large iron mug, etc. on the battery. with water, right size so that she doesn't fall. The method, of course, is not aesthetic, but simple and practical. The bad thing is that scale forms at the bottom of the container, and it is quite difficult to remove it, so you should take a pan that is not very pitiful.

If you want everything to look nice and neat - you can take rectangular shape vessels with water, and attach them with a rope (or wire hooks, the main thing is securely) with front side batteries. It turns out both a humidifier and a decoration for radiators.

How can a homemade humidifier differ from a purchased one?

Differences homemade devices from store-bought ones - the question is quite subtle in the sense that each device made by one's own hands is unique, it does not have any declared characteristics of power consumption or performance. A humidifier either satisfies requests and performs its task, or not.

For purchased devices, always typical, as a rule, neat and attractive design, there is always the declared power consumption, performance, safety class, clearly defined dimensions. But all this does not mean that a purchased humidifier is better than a home-made one - it all depends on the specific models and how the home-made device is assembled.

Advantages of DIY humidifiers

The main advantage of a homemade device is its relative cheapness. Such devices are assembled, as a rule, from what was found on the farm. Therefore, their value tends to zero. In addition, no one limits the design thinking, and the final parameters of the humidifier depend solely on what materials and elements were used in its manufacture. And finally, all people feel pride from the fact that they did something themselves - this increases self-esteem. It is possible to judge which air humidifier is better - homemade or store-bought, only in each specific case.

Practical recommendations for making a humidifier at home with a photo

Beginner Kulibin can give the following recommendations:

It makes no sense to fork out for the purchase of components, it is better to think about what can be used from improvised materials. As Philias Fogg used to say - use what is at hand, and do not look for another;
When assembling and preparing the humidifier for operation, make sure that the contacts of the electrically powered elements are insulated from moisture;
You should think about the issue of aesthetics - if the device looks very clumsy, then it will annoy the spouse.

How to decorate a homemade humidifier with inexpensive materials

Colorful containers can be used as decoration, you can lay out the bottom of the container with sea pebbles, corals, shells. In principle, an entourage of artificial fish, starfish, crabs is suitable. There are a lot of options - there are no restrictions here, the main thing is to look nice.

In winter, the humidity level in the apartment drops to 15-20%. And that's bad. Why?

Firstly, because dehydrated air dries out the skin and mucous membranes, contributes to a decrease in immunity and the development of diseases such as sinusitis and sinusitis. By the way, young children are especially sensitive to its effects.

The second reason - insufficient humidity harms plants, books, wooden furniture and musical instruments.

The optimal level of humidity in the apartment is about 40-60%.

You can measure air humidity using special device- hygrometer. If you don't have it, use the following method. Fill up a glass cold water and leave it in until the temperature of the liquid drops to 3-5 ° C. Then take out the glass and place it in the room away from the batteries. Observe the surface of the glass for five minutes. Evaluate the result like this:

If the walls of the glass are foggy at first, and dry after five minutes, the air in the room is dry.
If the glass remains foggy after five minutes, the humidity is moderate.
If streams of water appear on the glass, the humidity is increased.

Is the air dry? Then use one of the following tricks to restore normal moisture levels.

1. Use the bathroom

Probably one of the most simple ways. Leave the door to your room open every time you take a shower or bath. Evaporation will penetrate into the apartment and humidify the air.

You can also not immediately drain the water from the bath, but let it cool first: this will increase the amount of steam.

2. Dry things in the room

Another way that does not require any effort from you. Just put the dryer with the washed things next to the radiator: the clothes will dry faster and the air will be saturated with moisture.

The main thing is that there are no cleaning products left on things. Otherwise you will breathe chemistry.

A similar way to humidify the air is to hang wet towels on a radiator. You can extend the life of this humidifier with a bottle of water.

Freee.ru

How to build such a structure is described in detail.

3. Boil

All you need is a stove and a pot or kettle.

Option 1. Bring water in a saucepan to a boil and put it on a table or window sill so that the steam humidifies the apartment.
Option 2. Boil the kettle and leave it on low heat for longer evaporation. This technique can be used when you are cooking (often the air is dry at this time).

You can also add a few drops of tea tree oil or eucalyptus oil to the water. Their aroma is soothing, and the vapors kill germs and reduce the risk of colds and flu. In addition, cinnamon sticks, herbs or other spices can be thrown into the water to make the air fragrant.

4. Arrange water containers around the apartment

You can do without boiling. Simply fill vases, bottles and other containers with water and place them near heat sources. If you add stones and flowers, you get beautiful composition- guests, most likely, will not even guess that these are not decorative elements, but home-made humidifiers. Just do not forget to periodically wash the containers and change the water.

5. Get houseplants

Home flowers not only humidify the air, but also ionize it. Some are also excellent and disinfect.

The following plants give especially a lot of moisture:

nephrolepis (house fern);
fatsia;
cyperus;
sparmania (room linden);
ficus;
dracaena;
hibiscus.

6. Set up an aquarium or fountain

Both of these decorative element also humidify the air. Of course, buying them specifically for this purpose is irrational. But if you want to keep fish or decorate your house with a small fountain, about this additional property should not be forgotten.

7. Ventilate and do wet cleaning

Even in winter, it is not superfluous to ventilate the apartment 2-3 times a day in order to maintain a comfortable level of humidity. Well, you probably know yourself that from time to time you need to wipe the dust and wash the floors.

8. Build an Electric Humidifier

Option for owners crazy hands. This air humidifier cost Lifehacker about 300 rubles. An ultrasonic steam generator can be ordered on AliExpress for 180 rubles, a fan for 50.

Important to remember

High humidity in the apartment (more than 70%) is not better than dry air. It contributes to the appearance and occurrence of allergies. Yes, and it just creates an unpleasant feeling of dampness. So do not overdo it with moisturizing - and the force will be with you!

Russian "kulibins" are brainy people and making a humidifier with their own hands is a trifle for them. Moreover, the principle of operation of the device is simple. Consider the most popular options for making a humidifier for the home and try to give detailed instructions for each of the proposed methods.

These devices evaporate the water poured inside, and then supply the formed steam together with the air into the room. You can even "draw" the following picture: a basin with water and a towel dipped into it. This simple humidifier air can also be used in everyday life, however, it is ineffective, since it humidifies the air only in its immediate vicinity.

Modern units work a little differently. Cold steam appliances atomize moisture with a fan and fine mesh, steam use the principle of the iron ( a heating element, immersed in water, evaporates it and “pushes” the formed steam out), ultrasonic ones convert water into a water cloud using a piezoelectric element that generates high-frequency vibrations.

Using this simple knowledge, you can make such a design yourself.

Bottle option

To make a "bottle" humidifier, you will need:

battery central heating(not wall-mounted)
one and a half or two-liter plastic water bottle (of course, empty)
wide tape
a strong long piece of cloth or rope
gauze about a meter long

This homemade device does not consume electricity at all, is easy to assemble, does not leave salt deposits on objects in the room, as is usually the case with ultrasonic devices that are now popular. But the most important thing is that it does not require any financial investments, well, unless you have to buy scotch tape, gauze and drink a half-ton of mineral water.

The cheapest humidifier is made from regular bottle and a piece of gauze

Manufacturing instructions

Using scissors cut into plastic bottle a hole 10-12 cm long and 5-7 cm wide. The slot should be located on the side.
We cut off a piece of fabric and from it two long strips of the same size. We hang the bottle for these seeds to the pipe extending from the "accordion" so that the cut hole is at the top
For greater strength and reliability of the structure, we fix the junctions of the bottle and ribbons with adhesive tape
We take gauze and fold it several times. You should get a rectangle 1 meter long and about 10 cm wide.
We lower one end of the gauze into the opening of the bottle, and wrap the other around the pipe. You can even enhance the moisturizing effect by taking two pieces of gauze and constructing two wicks.
Using the second bottle, pour water into the hole.

How to make a humidifier from an old bucket and expanded clay

Expanded clay can both absorb moisture and release it.

Expanded clay device

You will need:

four trash cans (two smaller, two larger)
twelve liters bucket
aquarium pump
computer cooler with a diameter of 140 mm
household hair dryer
plastic ties

Crafting Instructions

Connecting two baskets small size. They are connected along the rims with the help of household hair dryer, but if suddenly it is not there, then you can get by with plastic fasteners. You should get a body of the future device, hollow inside.
Two large baskets are also connected, it is only necessary to first place inside them the case you already have from small baskets. As a result, you have a two-layer unit on your hands, resembling a thermos in its shape and purpose, consisting of four plastic buckets.
The bottom of the upper large basket must be cut with a knife or simply cut a hole in it for filling expanded clay. Expanded clay must be taken in such a size that it cannot "leak" through the holes of the baskets.
An aquarium pump is placed at the bottom of a twelve-liter bucket, and the tubes from it are led to the very top of the structure. A plastic ring with holes is located "on the top" of the future humidifier - from these holes, moisture will flow down the expanded clay back into the bucket.
At the top, you need to install a computer cooler that will force air into the expanded clay walls saturated with moisture, and then “drive” it out through the holes in the baskets.

The computer cooler is mounted on top of the structure. It will draw air to the moistened expanded clay

The principle of operation of the wastebasket construction is based on the "work" of expanded clay, so it is worth paying more attention to this particular "ingredient". Select the granules carefully, and before pouring them into the device, be sure to rinse all the expanded clay warm water.

Humidifier bottle and cooler

A cold steam humidifier costs 1,500-3,000 thousand rubles in a store. But its price can drop a hundred times right before your eyes. To observe this incredible spectacle, you will need one bottle of water (preferably a ten-liter one), one computer cooler and scotch tape.

Manufacturing technology

Cut off the bottle upper part with a neck so that a cooler can be installed in the resulting hole.
Attach the fan to the bottle with tape. You can take some thick cardboard, make a slit in it a little smaller than the cooler body and attach it to the bottle with the same adhesive tape - this will be more reliable.
Plug in the fan.

These simple options products for moisturizing are sure to come in handy. Even if not in a city apartment, but in the country. Air everywhere and always should be comfortable.
