Abstract
An apparatus and method for generating water vapor or humidity, useful in a variety of applications, including a wood drying kiln. The apparatus may contain a hydrophilic disk, a water supply structure that supplies water so that the water is deposited on the hydrophilic disk, and a motor for rotating the disk at a speed sufficiently high so that water which is deposited on the disk is caused to leave the disk in the form of a mist of particles or droplets which are sufficiently small to evaporate rapidly to generate the water vapor. The disk may be made hydrophilic by covering with a fabric.
