Description

  The present invention relates to a fine water droplet generator that generates fine water droplets in the air using the Leonard effect (waterfall effect).

  In recent years, the use of fine water droplets containing air ions has attracted attention as a further added value in addition to the purification of indoor air as health-consciousness increases. The fine water droplets containing air ions give moisture and moisture to the hair and skin and moisturize the throat. In particular, fine water droplets containing negative ions are said to have the effect of stabilizing the mind and enhancing the function of the respiratory organs.

When water drops break up in the air, more precisely, when the water drops collide with a metal plate that is a barrier and break up into fine water drops, negative ions are generated in the nearby air, and the fine water drops are equivalent to negative ions. Get a positive charge. This phenomenon has long been known as the Leonard effect. After that, it was confirmed by Simpson that the same effect as Leonard can occur just by splitting the water droplets in the air.
