  • Publication number: 20120175439
    Abstract: An electrostatic atomization device having a simple structure and allowing for reduction in size. The electrostatic atomization device has an atomization electrode including a P type Peltier element and an N type Peltier element joined with the P type Peltier element. The atomization electrode is cuspate so as to form a projection with a joined portion of the P type Peltier element and the N type Peltier element. High voltage is applied to the P and N type Peltier elements so that discharging occurs at a distal portion of the atomization electrode, current flows to the P and N type Peltier elements to produce a cooling effect at the joined portion, and condensed water generated by the cooling effect is atomized by the discharging to generate charged fine water droplets.

  • Publication number: 20120160940
    Abstract: An electrostatic atomization device that prevents the cooling capability from being lowered due to contact of an atomization electrode with another ember, while effectively preventing surplus production of condensed water that would destabilize discharging at the distal end of the atomization electrode. the electrostatic atomization device includes an atomization electrode having a cylindrical electrode body and a base which is informed at a basal end of the electrode body and has a larger diameter than the electrode from the base to produce condensed water on the atomization electrode. Voltage is applied to the atomization electrode when the condensed water is produced to generate charged fine water droplets. A partition plate includes an insertion hole that receives the electrode body of the atomization electrode. The partition plate and the base of the atomization electrode form a water collection region in between.

  • Publication number: 20120067986
    Abstract: An electrostatically atomizing device in this invention comprises thermoelectric elements being different in type from each other and an emitter electrode being configured to cause the electrostatically atomization. The emitter electrode is provided with a mounting member for mounting the thermoelectric elements different in type from each other. The mounting member is provided with the electrical conductive path between the thermoelectric elements. Consequently, it is possible to achieve the downsizing of the device and the saving energy of the device while keeping the cooling performance of creating the condensation water on the emitter electrode.

  • Patent number: 7874503
    Abstract: An electrostatically atomizing device capable of instantly giving an electrostatically atomizing effect without requiring a water tank. The electrostatically atomizing device includes an emitter electrode, an opposed electrode opposed to the emitter electrode, a water feeder configured to give water on the emitter electrode, and a high voltage source configured to apply a high voltage across said emitter electrode and said opposed electrode to electrostatically charge the water on the emitter electrode for spraying charged minute water particles from a discharge end of the emitter electrode. The water feeder is configured to condense the water on the emitter electrode from within the surrounding air, enabling to supply the water on the emitter electrode in a short time without relying upon an additional water tank. Thus, an atomization of the charged minute water particles can be obtained immediately upon use of the device.

    Abstract: This invention has an object to a planar coil, a contactless electric power transmission device using the same. This planar coil is configured to suppress an eddy current developed between adjacent turns of wire for minimizing adverse effects on ambient electrical appliances resulting from heat generation. The planar coil 1 in the present invention is formed of spiral shaped wire 7 coated with thinned insulative film, in which adjacent turns of the wire 7 are spaced in radial direction at such a predetermined interval to suppress an eddy current. This planar coil 1 is preferably employed as a power transmission coil or power receiving coil.
