Homemade Essential Oil Diffuser How To ~ A DIY Oil Diffuser Anyone Can Make

Only a few parts and about an hour and you can have a simple do it yourself essential oil diffuser to fill your home with amazing aromas. And yes that thumbnail isn't photoshopped, just text added with MS Paint :-D
See how I made this incredible desk in this video:

Young Living Essential Oils are the best essential oils on the market in my opinion which is coming from 2 years experience using them after having used many other random store bought brands. Quality matters and the Young Living Oils are the best! ;)
parts list for diffuser:
fog maker: amzn.to/2WFUlkB
pc fan: amzn.to/2CKpBHy
300ohm resistor: amzn.to/2WDYQvZ
The way a ultrasonic diffuser works is a piezo electric element vibrates at a very high frequency. This is the white disc you see on the fog maker. This disc is in contact with the water and when it vibrates it creates a low pressure area that causes the water to boil at room temperature. Some of that boiled water re-condenses and the rest leaves the water as mist. The mist takes some of the oil floating on the surface of the water with it and then that oil is naturally vaporized into the air. Essential Oil Diffusers like this get essential oils into the air better and more efficiently than any other type of aroma diffuser.
The same principles for humidifiers and this project can also serve as a diy humidifier. A diy mist maker like this can really help to get moisture back into the air and increase the humidity of a room.

This is actually the second homemade essential oil diffuser I've made. The first one was the exact same as this one and has been working great for over 4 months. This is definitely a project anyone could do since it requires minimal tools.
My channel garage science focuses on hobby projects, science projects, 3D printing and improving 3D printed parts. I hope you found this video interesting and entertaining. Make sure you subscribe and share it with your friends also have a do it yourself hobby.
BTW, I came up with wanting to do a project like this after watching the video titled "DIY Reed Diffuser! Homemade Home Products That Save You Money! (Clean My Space)" ( • DIY Reed Diffuser! Hom... )and realized that the only people making diy diffuser videos were making a diy reed diffuser which aren't nearly as good at being a deodorizer as an ultrasonic diffuser. So I figured I could make a guide for the best diy diffuser on youtube. Let me know what you think of the project in the comments!!!!
Some of the inspiration for this video came from the video titled "Ultrasonic Mist Maker || DIY or Buy" by GreatScott! which can be watched here: • Ultrasonic Mist Maker ...
Another good video on fog makers can be seen in the video titled "Trying to build a crude mini Fog/Smoke Machine" by GreatScott! which can be watched here • Trying to build a crud...
This video also functions to show how to make a DIY Nebulizer similar to the one shown in the video titled "How to make a NEBULIZER at home" by Coverrise ( • Video ). A homemade nebulizer can be a cheap and affordable alternative to something store bought but shouldn't replace required medical equipment.

( 00:50 ) lazy option would be using a 24V DC fan ( 3D printers ). Then you don't have to do the lowering the voltage mod. All n all, this is a great idea and I have already place my order to get the atomizer. I subed and rang the bell already. Now where is the button that gives x100 thumbs up

@@raarism : Using A vaporizer unit is OK if you don’t live in a place that is not terribly humid or terribly cold. But if you’re living in a place that’s either one of those things, it’s not such a good idea, because you’ll never manage to heat the house, and you’ll have mould problems. Those of us that fit those criteria really need to choose another method. If it’s just about getting essential oils into the air, and ultrasonic diffuser is a good way, or you could passively use a hot oil ring On a lightbulb. Or A passive method like reads in a container of essential oil solution.

Well done. I think you could slow down during the electrical parts. Explain how you set up your meter from start. I had to watch it few times to catch the wiring parts. Just observation not complaining at all

Thank you for making this- I’m going to try making at least one because the more I buy /try and research diffusers and humidifiers the more I’m shocked at how hard they are to clean. They’re really hazardous to your health if they can’t be cleaned thoroughly, especially for people with compromised immune systems.

[@mellisajones2187]

Wow! This is a cool project. I’ve been looking for a way to diy a diffuser. I like how you explain adjusting and creating a baseline for both currents. How would you compare to store bought diffusers? Thanks for this, Mellisa😀

[@daphneraven6745]

Garage science: I’m a total noob at this. So, I’m wondering why you chose to use A fan and fog maker combo of different voltages. Would there have been a problem associated with using two of the same voltage?

[@pushpalbhaket1846]

Very nice video :) Is there any way the frequency of the ultrasound diffuser can be controlled so that the mist formation can be reduced or increased ?? Thank you in advance.

[@GarageScience]

A lower voltage should result in less mist up to a point. Then it probably will just cease making mist entirely past that point.

[@pushpalbhaket1846]

@@GarageScience Thank you. If I have understood correctly, there could be a small window for adjusting the frequency of the diffuser. Since I am not having any background in electronics, I would like to ask by what means could the voltage be adjusted.

[@machineworld6229]

Why did you stick the cut straw pieces on the bottom of the fan?

[@angeliverdiansin829]

hiii .. i have a question if I use a 12v ultrasonic mist maker instead, it means that I do not need the resistor to lower the voltage, right?

[@onlyme8870]

A few years ago I would have made a bunch of these. Due to a health problem my eyesight isn't working to do projects like this. I have a young living diffuser I used to replace the disc every other year. Now I can't get the unit to turn on and the disc is new. If you monitor this still and would sell some units if you still have some. I can do a review to credit your channel.

[@bbysenii]

Once the volt thing started with the little machine to measure i was lost. Do we have to have that??

[@GarageScience]

If you connect 2 fans in series then you can accomplish the same thing.

[@Sharadonai]

If you wanted to make the mist be a little warm, how would you do that?

[@GarageScience]

You could out a very small heater in the jar as well or use an insulated container and just put warm water in it to begin with.

[@Sharadonai]

Garage Science are the mister devices heat resistant?

[@GarageScience]

They would be a little but I wouldn't expose them to water that is hotter than about 100-110 degrees. It's still electronic equipment.

[@CherylBerryl]

He calls this a "fog maker", Is this the same as a "nebulizer", or just a regular "diffuser", I just found out the there is a big difference between the two, and a nebulizer is really the Only was to truly get the full therapeutic benefits of pure Essential Oils.

[@GarageScience]

Well yes and no about getting all the benefits of the essential oils... a nebulizer is more a medical grade machine that makes extremely small liquids droplets in the air to help deliver medicine. Typically they use special stainless steel meshes with very small very high tolerance Holes. Where a diffuser essentially uses a small speaker to ultrasoniclly vibrate the water and create mist.

[@danlightened]

What he essentially means is an ultrasonic plate that is used to create the fog. This is used in ultrasonic diffusers which he created. Nebulizers are another type of diffuser which don't require any water, only essential oils.

[@privateweb3521]

Less headache to buy one.

[@GarageScience]

But more fun to make your own ;)

[@davidpruitt7878]

I love the video but disagree with your tape option. You need to use heat shrink. It is a clean and more permanent solution. Also you mentioned that Young living is the purest oils but that is up for debate. Before my wife and I decided on a essential oil supplier we researched all the major brands. None of the brands carried by stores are very pure. Also any bottle that states "not for internal use" is not safe to use period. If it goes on your skin, it goes into your body. We chose to go with a different company as to all the court nonsense and purity issues surrounding Young Living. I also did some trial comparisons between brand and Young living was not on top. Thanks again for the great video ideas.

[@MusicLover-zs4qw]

So clearly it’s not something we can just DYI with stuff we have laying around the house 😂

Just go to eBay and buy one

[@michaelfish2074]

Could anyone kindly tell me what base to use for this kind of diffuser? Would an oil base be necessary or would distilled water work? Tia (edit) I know he uses water in the video but looking to make a bulk lot and obviously water wouldn't work for that. Though id rather not be breathing in loads of oil/whatever else they put in the shop bought stuff.

[@GarageScience]

Distilled water for sure. It won't work with oil.

[@michaelfish2074]

@@GarageScience Cheers. After a bit of research into the shop bought stuff I've come to the realisation that nobody should be breathing that stuff in!

A true nebulizer requires very precise components making it cost prohibitive as a DIY options.

[@gvphone822]

I'm also interested in the nebulizing diffuser. Did you ever happen to diy ?

[@kenmcmullan9330]

You asked to be informed how I managed not to hit "Subscribe". I'm afraid it was the repeated mentions of a "PC fan". At the start of the video, it was a "3D printer fan". In reality, it's simply a fan. It's puerile and pedantic, I know, but you asked. I'm still hitting "Like".

[@GarageScience]

I understand. I do try and use language that can be easily understood by others. I'll work on being more clear and consistent in the future.

[@chloecoppenheim]

This was interesting, but you do realize that the cable/wire has plastic wrapping, which will be dissolved by the essential oils... and before it completely ruins, it will emit the dissolved chemicals from the plastic wire into the water resulting in toxic chemicals in the air. #chemistry

[@GarageScience]

No such dissolution of the wire insulation has occurred even after months and months of use. You are right though, some plastics can be dissolved by essential oils.

HMX is relatively bad at youtube in that he follows the videos of quite a few people but he doesn't subscribe to much of anything because of a fear of commitment or some such nonsense. To make up for this, HMX does try to comment of videos while allowing commercials to play and HMX also tries to 👍🏽videos when he remembers to.
