Abstract
A humidifier includes: a electrode; a water absorbing humidification member configured to serve as a counter electrode for the electrode; a power supply for applying a voltage to the electrode; a water supply unit for supplying humidification water to the water absorbing humidification member; and a blower for causing air to flow through an air passage formed in a space between the electrode and the water absorbing humidification member, the electrode being configured to generate, by receiving a voltage applied thereto, ion wind flowing from the electrode to a direction normal to a surface of the water absorbing humidification member, and the ion wind is caused to impinge on the water absorbing humidification member to humidify the air in the air passage.
