USB Humidifier w/ "Ultrasonic Vibrating Mesh Technology"

August 7th, 2004

Feeling itchy during flight and dry weather. A portable USB mini humidifier may help. Just plug it to your laptop's USB port, and add some moisture to the cabin. Its compact-size, measuring at 89x140mm and weighing at 243g, also makes it pretty ideal for travel.

The USB humidifier basically generates moist air with "Ultrasonic Vibrating Mesh Technology", which in layman terms, utilizes a filter to vibrate and vaporize water at ultrasonic frequency at around 135Khz. Then the steam will dissipate through the top valve and will moisten the surrounding air. A failsafe feature turns off the device automatically after 2.5hrs. Our guess is that the humidifier will shut down when laptop's shut down.

One thing to keep in mind is to keep away the USB humidifer from your laptop due to excessive moisture. The gadget now retails at ThinkGeek for $38.99.
