daily observation in physics - ultra-sonic clean (or bust!)

[akk]

The tiny ultra-sonic fogger I recently placed in my indoor fountain effectively cleans the minuscule lime cover that stuck on the wide transparent blue glass bowl I've been using for indoor fountains over the past 20 years, resulting in two things:
First, the riffled transparent blue glass bowl is beautifully shiny again, adding a lot more flair to the LED lighting attached to the fogger.
Second, despite using distilled water for it, I now have to change the 2.5 liters in the bowl every other day until the lime is gone, or there is this ugly dust flake-like flotsam twirling in the bowl.

I should get a larger model to use on the bathtub...

I made two pictures of the fogger and linked them in post above. :)

woww thanks! fog in home looks so exciting! unfortunately the ultrasound design looks too standard.. :/

If by ultrasound design you mean the round disk in the middle, that's just the spray protection. It can be replaced by virtually anything - like a crystal or falsh ice. I've seen glass figures being used.
But since I am "recycled" my previous round glass bowl for it (and bought just the ultrasound fog module new), I went with the standard spray protection, because its form and color fit with the bowl I had.
The fog system requires just a bowl (with at least 5 cm water depth and resonable size to avoid spraying over the edge). You can get really innovative with those things.

So the spray protection are use to cover the ultrasound device?
please let me know if you somehow really use it on bathtub
(things like this makes me amused XD)

the technology is pretty simple (but keep in mind my profession, I tend to say that about a lot of things).
This site has the components and examples on display: http://pondsonlinecanada.com/fogger.htm
(it's a shop, but I couldn't find a good Wikipedia entry in English).
Regarding the bathtub...
I'm tempted, but the larger ultra-sonic modules are pretty expensive. So it's unlikely I get one any time soon, just to have a cool way to clean bathtubs. ;)

XDD cool, simple, expensive sure like to be around each other
thanks for the link, i'll show it to my uncle,
if he share the same opinion as yours, maybe he'd interested in making me one XD
