You can accelerate evaporation 1000s of times by aerosilizing/spraying water.

No lazers needed.

You're not desalinating aerosilized water. All the salt comes with.

Yeah, you can buy humidifiers that work by aerosolizing water, and they're very energy efficient, but the problem is any bacteria that grows in it will just get spread all over your house if you don't clean it frequently.

The ones that operate by boiling water are definitely a lot better for health reasons, but it's a trade-off.

It's a bit more preferable to have a humidifier that doesn't heat up the room in the summer months.
