Steam puffer

[ducati1]

Hello,

I need to find a product that can provide a small burst of steam (very little) for a household application. This product would ideally be activated by a photoeye and be powered by either 110 VAC or 12 VDC. It would need to work fast (no long pre-heat time). I do not know what to call such a product. The most describing term I can think of would be Steam Puffer.

If such a product does not exist I was wondering if someone could guide me to a development partner.

Alternatively I could use a photo eye activated cold water spray device.

Thanks,
U. Kristiansen

Well, just HOW fast is it? How far? How much water? Why water?

Hello IRstuff,

Thanks for your quick reply. By fast i mean that it should provide the steam puff (alternatively water spray) within 5 seconds from being activated by the photo eye. The amount of steam (alternatively water) would be very small. Just 0.02 - 0.03 liquid oz.

...and the distance would be only about 1". Water because it is of hygienic nature.

Is this schoolwork?

Hello,

No this is not school work. I work myself as a General Manager in the packaging industry. I am trying to develop a small appliance for a household applicatino as my own project on the side.
