Abstract
A humidifier adapted to be connected directly to a faucet, thereby eliminating the need for a water storage container. The humidifier has a main body, vibrator, pipe, fan, air tunnel, drain pipe, and power source. The main body, which includes openings at different height, has a top, bottom, and sides for defining interior and exterior portions. The vibrator and pipe, which transports water from a faucet to the main body, are both secured to the main body. The fan is electrically powered by the power source and produces air flow. One side of the air tunnel allows air flow produced by the fan to enter, while the other side is connected to the main body.
