While searching for a humidifier to use at home, I saw many cool mist ultrasonic humidifiers and wondered if I could build myself a cheap one. This is a homemade humidifier using an ultrasonic mist maker / fogger that I found online. It is an easy DIY humidifier project you can make for less than 10$. As you can see, it is very efficient!

As you can see, these ultrasonic modules can make the perfect homemade fog machine. You can use these DIY humidifiers for your home. You can also use these mist makers to make a reptile fogger DIY or to add a smoke effect for your party and Halloween decorations. In addition, the same mist maker modules are used in ultrasonic essential oil diffusers. Finally, I think that one of the coolest utilization of the ultrasonic technology is to create a fake flame illusion for water vapor fireplaces.

Get a plastic bottle like the one I’m using. Cut a hole that is about the size of the computer fan, near the top of the bottle. You can now insert the ultrasonic module through this hole.

Fix the Fan to the Bottle

Place the fan over the hole. I fixed it using tape, but feel free to use glue for a more permanent solution.

Connect Everything to the Power Supply.
