Abstract
Provided is a nano-fiber manufacturing apparatus which manufactures nano-fibers by an electrostatic explosion, and has a low possibility of explosion even when a flammable solvent is used. The nano-fiber manufacturing apparatus () having an ejection unit () which ejects solution () that is raw material liquid for nano-fibers () to a manufacturing space in which the nano-fibers () are manufactured by an electrostatic explosion of the solution (), and a charging unit which charges the solution (). The nano-fiber manufacturing apparatus () includes a gas supply source () which supplies safety gas to change an atmosphere of the manufacturing space, in which the solution () is ejected, into a low oxygen atmosphere, and a partition () which maintains the manufacturing space at a lower oxygen atmosphere than an atmosphere of an outside space of the partition ().
