It probably just extracts humidity from the air.
Anyway, maybe a smooth mist flowing onto your body is really relaxing.
Perfect for Apple users!
Yea for the corny Apple-Bash, you are so awesome! That was totally unexpected and so witty. Great work.
XD formatting fail, forgot engadget is not ASCII art friendl
it works for the 'most loyal' customer, you just need to 'believe' it - the onion
If it weren't Panasonic I'd be more inclined to think snake oil, but I don't doubt that it does what it says (minus the marketing flourishes). I of course DO doubt that what it does has any benefits to people, but hey, it sounds kind of interesting at least.
You spelled ironic wrong.
That's a good one. You had me there for a second. :)
LOL
Apparently it makes pretty girls smile so that's a good thing.
She's smiling because she's getting paid to sit in a chair.
Nice webcam
What is up with that tiny little TV? Is that even 15"?
That's a 37" TV. That woman is 7 feet tall.
The last vaporizer I used kept me quite happy as well.....
She should come over to my place. I have a much bigger TV, and I can also keep her moist.
It seems she likes big balls.
I'd like to administer her some "ionic moisture" oh right, giggity - *high five*
I for one welcome our EH-SA42 overlords using their ultra fine (Pano?) nano-particle ion steam to draw us into a hypnotic doze with which to gradually unseat us from our state of false security and render us eminently edible.
Etc.
Is this a case of technology being indistinguishable from magic?
How does that work? Everyone complains about the humidity and then we have "nanocare". It's good comedy.
The technology works similar to an hair dryer with an Ionic setting. It is well known that the negative ions applied to the hair cuases the cuticle to shrink thereby strengthening the hair and making it shiny.
I think the translation in the post is off. It should be "stream of ions" and not "ion steam". The principle is that the stream of ions causes the pores of the skin to close and tighten, locking in moisture.
With more water content the skin appears healthier and you end up with less skin problems.
I want to administer some moisture on her.
Well... I don't know how this little machine works, but there are ways to get water even if you don't put in water. For instance, the air already has water. It's called moisture or humidity. It's what condenses on the outside of your bottles and cups filled with a cold drink. And this might be even more unlikely, but you can make water. The oxygen's plenty in air, but somehow the machine would have to provide the hydrogen. Well who knows how this thing works, but it's probably a placebo effect. Have people being sprayed with a fine spray of water droplets and they'll probably say they feel miraculously better.
she's pretty that's for sure
really cute smile
Ionising air does have a scientific effect, but what effect that is and how much output such device really give is up in the air (pun intended), incidentally the effect of ionization might be unhealthy rather than healthy.
Talking of pun, I like the 'it boils down to is a mist' one in the article :)
