Hey Mudd
I read at another thread where you started with a fan that developed 198cfm and, you thought it was too much air. Was it this one?

With those holes evenly placed the way you have drilled them, it just seems that fan would have worked perfectly? I wonder if I drilled the holes on varying angles that "pointed", so-to-speak, splayed-out like a fan across the inside, if it would eliminate the cold spots? If I had to use thicker wall material to create more of a "nozzle" effect, OK.
rebelcowboysnb: I wanted a fogger but, they are just another expense at this point. Then, you brought up their tendency to fail. Opinion needed for this.
I figured I'd buy the humidistat and use it with a solenoid or something that could raise and lower a cloth down into my water container. My initial thought was to rig it as though you had a rag clipped onto a very small T-shaped wire coat-hanger. Having the original fan already blowing across the water's surface, I would situate the hanger where the air-flow would blow across the cloth edgewise, not blowing into the cloth broadside like a sail. I don't want the cloth to restrict my airflow too much.
Here is another BRIEF description. The humidity drops. The humidistat activates a device that lifts a cloth out of the water, but not all of the way out. We want it to act as a wick. Once the humidity climbs to our desired set-point, our device lowers the cloth back down into the water. No fooling with a failed frazzling, fogger!
Would it work?
Or, the rag could hang permanently and the humidistat could start-n-stop a fan.
