An aerosol-generator for an aerosol-generating device is provided, the aerosol-generator including: a surface acoustic wave atomiser including a substrate including an active surface defining at least one atomisation region, and at least one transducer positioned on the active surface to generate surface acoustic waves on the active surface; and a supply element arranged to supply a liquid aerosol-forming substrate to the atomisation region, the supply element including a channel extending through the substrate between an inlet to receive a supply of the liquid aerosol-forming substrate and an outlet positioned within the atomisation region of the active surface, in which the channel has at least one of a cross-sectional area that varies in a direction from the inlet to the outlet and a portion that extends in a non-perpendicular direction with respect to the active surface. An aerosol-generating device including the aerosol-generator is also provided.

Aerosol-generator comprising a supply element

An aerosol-generator for an aerosol-generating device is provided, the aerosol-generator including: a plurality of surface acoustic wave atomisers, each surface acoustic wave atomiser including: a substrate including an active surface, and at least one transducer disposed on the active surface of the substrate to generate surface acoustic waves on the active surface; an atomisation region defined between the substrates of the plurality of surface acoustic wave atomisers; and a supply element arranged to supply a liquid aerosol-forming substrate to the atomisation region. An aerosol-generating device including the aerosol-generator is also provided.

Aerosol-generator comprising a plurality of atomisers

A method includes generating an aerosol by heating, without combusting, an aerosol generating substrate () in a shisha device (). The method further includes introducing at least one aerosol condensation particle to an airflow path () of the shisha device. The airflow path () carries the aerosol generated by the aerosol generating substrate to an outlet () of the shisha device for delivery to a user.

Shisha device with aerosol condensation

This invention relates to methods for the production of micro-structured substrates and their application in natural sciences and technology, in particular in semiconductor, microfluidic and analysis devices. It concerns a method of introducing a structure, such as a hole or cavity or channel or well or recess or a structural change by providing a controlled electrical discharge.

Method of introducing a structure in a substrate
