ABSTRACT:
A humidifier that will operate without being supplied with power from an outside source is provided. The humidifier must be placed directly in the stream of heated air coming from a heat source in order to properly operate. The humidifier is comprised of a housing, a hydrocell, and an evaporative element. The hydrocell and the evaporative element are both located within the housing, the evaporative element being directly below the hydrocell. The hydrocell is heat-responsive, and when it is heated, water will drip from the hydrocell onto the evaporative element. The heated air passing thru the humidifier will first contact the now-moist evaporative element and absorb some of the humidity therefrom. An optional feature of this invention is a valve located within the hydrocell that is connected to a water source and which will regulate the flow of water into the hydrocell without the need of human assistance.
