  • Patent number: 10918812
    Abstract: An essential oils diffuser with a micro air pump providing between 500 and 1500 Pa of pressure with a consumption of between 0.2 and 1 Watts may be used to push air into essential oils or an essential oil solution to diffuse and expel the oils into the air, while keeping the oils away from the air pump, preventing the oils from shortening the life of the diffuser. The diffuser may include a power supply and a controller to regulate the operation of the diffuser.
