Ever seen a fish swimming through water droplets in the air? Today, I learned Panasonic has been cleverly repurposing an outdoor air conditioning system to produce effects like that.
Here’s a video:
Panasonic calls it “Silky Fine Mist,” and the company primarily sells it as a way to beat the heat. The company claims its nozzles use a combination of pressurized water and compressed air to spray mist that’s so fine (six to 10 microns), it doesn’t feel wet to the touch. Panasonic says the system has been adopted by “train stations and public facilities nationwide” in Japan since its 2019 debut.
