Abstract
A fragrance generator comprises a housing for containing a volatile liquid to provide a vapour. The housing has a wall of which at least a part is permeable to the vapour. The generator further comprises an actuator for diffusing the vapour emerging from the volatile liquid to an environment outside the housing. The generator is provided with an electric circuit comprising a solar energy converter arranged to convert solar energy into electric energy for feeding the actuator and the circuit comprises a capacitor for accumulating the electric energy from the solar energy converter.
Claims20
A fragrance generator comprising:
- a housing configured to contain a volatile liquid to provide a vapour, the housing having a wall of which at least a part thereof is permeable to the vapour,
- an actuator configured to diffuse the vapour to an environment outside the housing through at least the permeable wall part;
- and
- an electric circuit comprising a solar energy converter configured to convert solar energy into electric energy for supplying electric energy to the actuator,
- wherein the circuit comprises a capacitor configured to store the electric energy from the solar energy converter to supply the actuator with the electric energy.
