one tenth: PET bottle humidifier


'hollow' generates steam from the water in the bottle


one tenth design has given designboom an exclusive preview of their project 'hollow', a PET bottle humidifier.

'hollow' uses ordinary plastic bottles in a specially designed base to create a small humidifier.
production is resource-efficient, involving only three sets of parts for the base,
which draws water from the upturned plastic bottle and releases it as moisture-laden steam.

360° is a desk-top fan designed to focus and utilize the wind energy produced by motion.
the direction of the breeze is controlled by rolling the dodecagon back and forth.

sorry, but why do you need steam? whats the use of steam??

@CAM In very cold climates, when the temperature drops to, say, -30celcius, the absolute humidity in the air is extremely low - most of the moisture freezes out of the air, leaving it very dry. As air gets exchanged between indoor and outdoor, this leaves the living environment very dry. A humidifier (steam maker) adds moisture to the air. Plus, y'know, it looks pretty kewl.

Hello. Love the design of 'Hollow'. I have been looking for a pet-bottle-humidifier with a great design, and now finally I found it! One question.. When will it be released for sale? Where can I buy (hopefully online)?

Hi, apart from the simple clean form and the hollow idea of this humidifier I found interesting, there is actually something really similar selling in Japan already, have a look
