Plans for a rather simple 'desk top' humidifier. The basic idea should fit neatly in many habitat designs.

Mods would be easy- if you are using a basic plastic tub, you could connect the humidifier to the tub by bolting/riveting,hot-gluing a large PVC pipe floor flange to the outside of the humidifier, and another to the matching location on the tub, then drill air holes inside where the flange goes, then connect the two with a short piece of PVC.

I also bet that someone here could easily come up with a more 'tort-friendly' version!

Of course, this also reminds me of another fairly easy but often overlooked humidifier- large glass jar secured in a corner, with an airstone dropped in- the bubbling creates a lot of humidity- even more if you add a small heater.

Is it a warm air or cool air humidifier? Also would you have any pictures of this? I have a new enclosure that I'm trying to get the humidity right and this may help me.
