Abstract
A reduced water mist generating device (1) is provided with a water acquiring section (3) that acquires water for generating reduced water, a reduced water generating unit (U) that generates the reduced water from the acquired water, a reduced water atomizing section (6) that atomizes the generated reduced water, and a spraying section (7) that sprays the atomized water. With such a configuration, the reduced water can be generated from water, drifted in the form of a mist in a space, and caused to arrive at an object.
Claims30
A reduced water mist generating device comprising:
- a water acquiring section that acquires water for generating reduced water having dissolved therein a reduced component obtained by reducing cations generated by ionization of an acidic component in water;
- a reduced water generating unit that generates the reduced water from the water acquired by the water acquiring section;
- and
- a reduced water atomizing section that atomizes the reduced water generated by the reduced water generating unit to obtain mist-like reduced water wherein
- the reduced water generating unit includes:
- an acidic aqueous solution generating section that generates an acidic component in water and generates an acidic aqueous solution containing cations and anions generated by ionization of the acidic component generated in the water;
- a reduced component generating section that generates a reduced component by providing electrons to the cations contained in the acidic aqueous solution and reducing the cations;
- and
- a reduced water generating section that dissolves the reduced component generated by the reduced component generating section in the water and generates reduced water in which the reduced component is dissolved.
