A reduced water mist generating device () is provided with a water acquiring section () 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 () that atomizes the generated reduced water, and a spraying section () 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.

Reduced water mist generating device and electric apparatus

A reduced water mist generator, including: a water supply member that supplies water; a high voltage application member that applies a high voltage; and a discharge electrode that is constituted by a metal element that produces molecular hydrogen by a chemical reaction with nitric acid molecules, the discharge electrode being provided with an electrostatic atomizing function that, when a high voltage is applied by the high voltage application member while water is supplied by the water supply member, generates an electric field and thereby electrostatically atomizes the water supplied from the water supply member to produce microparticulated water, and also being provided with a hydrogen molecule generating function that produces the molecular hydrogen by a chemical reaction with nitric acid molecules generated when the water is electrostatically atomized, the discharge electrode generating a hydrogen water mist in the form of a reduced water that contains the molecular hydrogen in the microparticulated water.

Reduced water mist generator and method of producing reduced water mist

An electrostatic atomizing device comprises an electrostatic atomizing part () applying high-voltage to water supplied to an atomization electrode (), thereby generating negatively-charged minute water particles, a positive ion generator () being configured to generate positive ions, and a controller () being configured to control operation of said electrostatic atomizing part () and said positive ion generator (). Said controller () controls so as to cause said electrostatic atomizing part () to generate the negatively-charged minute water particles, after the positive ions are generated by said positive ion generator ().

Electrostatic atomizing device

A platinum microparticles generator comprises a linear first electrode, a board-shaped second electrode, and an applying means. The first electrode contains at least platinum. The second electrode comprises an outlet opening, which is a circular through-hole, located so as to face one end of the first electrode. The applying means applies a voltage between the first and second electrodes. Then, the first electrode has an outside diameter in a range of 0.03 [mm] to 0.10 [mm]. Further, the outlet opening has an inside diameter in a range of 1.0 [mm] to 4.5 [mm]. Thus, the platinum microparticles generator can emit a sufficient amount of platinum microparticles while restraining generation of ozone.
