Important! Disadvantages are also very large:

• humidifies the room directly only near the place of evaporation of moisture;
• constant requires "recharging", that is, wetting;
• extremely low efficiency of this method.

Complicated version of

Towel with one end lower into the pelvis together with water, hang the second end on the battery. Water will be impregnated into the fabric and eventually evaporate into the air thanks to the battery.

Advantages of this method are obvious: an automated air humidifier with your own hands, which does not require any investment.

Important! The disadvantage of this method: low efficiency of the method, despite automation by means of the pelvis, together with water, the humidity level near the battery rises.

If to you similar decisions seem not aesthetic, and also not effective, you can always familiarize with the ultrasonic humidifier and get a suitable model for yourself. Or make a similar device yourself.
