Patent ID: 8474731

Claim:
A reduced water mist generator, comprising: a water supply member that supplies water; a high voltage application member that applies a high voltage; and a discharge electrode that is constituted by a metal element that has a higher ionization tendency than hydrogen and produces molecular hydrogen by a chemical reaction with nitric acid molecules, the discharge electrode being provided with an electrostatic atomizing function that, when a high voltage is applied by the high voltage application member while water is supplied by the water supply member, generates an electric field and thereby electrostatically atomizes the water supplied from the water supply member to produce microparticulated water, and also being provided with a hydrogen molecule generating function that produces the molecular hydrogen by a chemical reaction with nitric acid molecules generated when the water is electrostatically atomized, the discharge electrode generating a hydrogen water mist in the form of a reduced water mist that contains the molecular hydrogen in the microparticulated water.
