A Fog Shower?

fogshowerI didn’t actually think about this until now, but showers are rather boring. You stand there while water is poured onto you. I have regular showers and I didn’t realise how boring it was, because I didn’t know there were alternatives. There is the bath but they are not convenient. My eyes have been opened a little after finding out about this…

The thing you see to your right is known as a ‘fog shower’ and was made by a student at Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Parana in Brazil. Normal shower heads consume 26 liters of water for a five minute shower. By creating a fog of microscopic water droplets, the Fog Shower consumes only two liters of water for a five minute shower. It also looks rather cool.

The Fog Shower reduces water consumption by creating a vapor flow with microscopic water droplets. The water is heated and sent under pressure to an ultrasonic vaporizer, and is then forced through perforated metal plates. An intelligent sensor system aims the water vapor in different angles, depending on the movements of the person showering.

I want one!
