Claim Text:
1. An aerosol creation system, comprising: a first roller; a second roller spaced apart from the first roller in a linear configuration; a belt defining an interior belt space and having an interior surface, the first roller and the second roller positioned within the interior belt space such that at least a portion of a surface of the first roller and at least a portion of the surface of the second roller are in physical contact with an interior surface of the belt; a first nip defined between the at least the portion of the surface of the first roller that is in physical contact with the interior surface of the belt, the first nip having an upstream side and a downstream side; a second nip defined between the at least the portion of the surface of the second roller that is in physical contact with the interior surface of the belt, the second nip having an upstream side and a downstream side; a fluid source structured to coat the first roller and the second roller with a fluid; a driving element structured to drive the first roller and the second roller to cause fluid to be drawn through the upstream side of the first nip to the downstream side of the first nip and through the upstream side of the second nip to the downstream side of the second nip; wherein a first fluid filament is stretched between diverging surfaces of the first roller and the interior surface of the belt when at least one of the belt and the first roller rotates, the first fluid filament stretched until it breaks into a plurality of first droplets, and wherein a second fluid filament is stretched between diverging surfaces of the second roller and the interior surface of the belt when at least one of the belt and the second roller rotates, the second fluid filament stretched until it breaks into a plurality of second droplets.
