An atomizer is a device that produces a spray
of fine droplets of liquid. A vertical tube
connected with a horizontal tube dips into a
bottle of liquid, and at one end of the
horizontal tube is a nozzle, at the other a
rubber bulb. When the bulb is squeezed, air
rushes over the top of the vertical tube and
out through the nozzle. The pressure at the
top of the vertical tube is reduced, allowing
the liquid to rise. The air stream picks up
the liquid, breaks it up into tiny drops, and
carries it out of the nozzle as a spray.
Scent spray, paint spray guns, and
carburettors all use the principle of the
atomizer.
