There's quite a wide range of these ultrasonic water fog generating devices available on eBay. Unlike the traditional ones that have a large piezo disk submerged under water, these ones have a ring of piezo material that agitates a stainless steel disk with a wick pressed gently against it. This results in a very efficient water atomiser that requires very little power to operate.
Here's an eBay search link for this style of unit:-

    Hmm .. in the UK we ( all ) require many ( DE humidifiers ! ) …. USB ??? … just leave your kettle boiling for 5 minutes achieves a ( low tech ) result … fun video , though ..Hee – Hee …. DAVE™🛑

    You're voice seems to have a different pitch in this,

    Pierre Curie died like that and Tesla died a pauper . Maybe its better not to be a genius .
    Not absolutely sure why but i hate the fact that "Elon Musk " has used his name , he wanted to give people free power , quite the opposite of Musk

    Please, has someone the list of components?

    In case everybody else came a-gutser on searching for that transistor, I think I may have stumbled on it. Found a page saying that X0YV (with a zero) is an AO3400A N-channel MOSFET.
    The topology of the output stage is almost identical to a single-ended amplifier driving a speaker. My experience with electronics is mostly in audio frequency amplification, so I'd actually be surprised not to see that capacitor at the switching device's gate/emitter/grid. Interesting how our personal indoctrinations color our perception.
    I always enjoy these random eBay teardown videos.

    Add a hollow metal ball between carb and intake manifold atomizes and vaporizes gas doubles gas mileage and cleans up emissions this is how Poque did it
