          from a pre-existing humidifier are connected with two found light 
          hoods, a peristaltic pump, and numerous specially fabricated components 
          to create a new humidifier. A 3/4" thick ovaloid plate of cast 
          clear plastic serves as the main structural component. This plate 
          is suspended on four stainless steel rods. The transparent blue forms 
          below this plate house the peristaltic pump and the humidifier components. 
          The light hoods screwed to the top of the plate hold water and vapor. 
          Vinyl tubing is set up in such a way that the peristaltic pump draws 
          water from the left hood and forces it over to the right one.  |  | The humidifier components beneath the right hood create cold vapor, 
            and a fan blows air through the tube connecting the blue form with the 
            light hood on the right side. This air then forces the cold vapor up 
            through the arching vinyl tube connecting the tops of the two light 
            hoods. The vapor is released into the left hood, where some of it condenses 
            and rejoins the water that will eventually be moved back to the right 
            hood. The rest is released out a series of little holes drilled in the 
            hood, effectively increasing the level of humidity in the room. |
