Wick Ridge

Humidify a dry room with no power

A passive humidifier that looks like a paper mountain range. Fill the tray with water and drape folded sheets of blotting paper over the seven fins: both ends dip in, the paper wicks water up and the air takes it away, so a dry room by a radiator gets moisture with no power, noise or filter.
