The air's ability to hold water is a factor of temperature.  That's why humidity is referred to as "Relative Humidity" (its relative to the temperature).  So as the air cools at night, it has less ability to hold water.  What may have been 60% humidity during the day, may end up causing rain during the night.

Use a clean room humidifier in your home, especially during sleep.  Check to see if you have allergies to certain things like dust, mold, pollen, wheat, dairy products, animals etc.  It may mean avoiding these allergy invoking substances or taking meds that help prevent the allergic symptoms when you can't avoid them.  Drink plenty of water, juices etc to keep your body well hydrated from the inside.  It will help thin secreations in your nose and lungs.\n\nA hot, dry atmosphere is not healthy for the airway system...you can't control the weather outside, but you can control the living conditions in your home.  Do not overheat your home....a cool, moist atmosphere is healthier than hot and/or dry atmosphere.

they are used to draw the moisture out of the air and keep things dry.\n\nthey tell people not to eat it because they don't want to get sued by stupid people.

A hygrometer is an instrument that measures the water vapor content of the atmosphere. A barometer measures the atmospheric air pressure at a given location. What you have is an aneroid barometer, which usually has a small regular head screw on the back of it, by which you can adjust it to the current air pressure, and if no screw, then you probably got a cheap one, even if it looks nice and cost a good amount of money. I've been looking for a nice antique looking one, that works well, for many years, and usually people have to pay way too much money for an accurate one, hence the reason I still don't have one.

I got the Vick's cool air humidifier.  (the cool air is supposed to be better)   I think it was about $30 and works pretty well.\n\nI wouldn't' think that trying to make one at home would be a good idea.  Something about sticking my head over a hot pot of water just doesn't sound safe.

A damper restricts the flow, and can be adjusted to let more through or less through.\n\nA valve will be opened or closed.\n\nThink of it in the same fashion as in an air conditioning system

you can get a cool mist humidifier.  If the area really needs moisture they will not leave the area damp. That is reason for them.  usually you only need them in the winter. If your furnace is still on you can just place bowls of water on the registers

Do a search on Swamp Coolers. It is a box with a squirrel cage fan, a water supply and pads around the exterior to humidify the air. This system of cooling will only be able to humidify the air to about 35%. If you are in a humid area, try something else.

you left out a lot of info lmao.\nwhat is the humidity of the air and what presure are you talking about.\nHeat and cold are regulated by the moisture content of the air.

the compressor is used to compress cold air to be used in the cooling process of a/c. you lose very little coolant in the production of a/c.it takes the humidity out of the surrounding air and that is why we see the outside of the a/c drip water. that is the water or humidity that has been taken out of our environment

They take excess moisture out of the air.  They pull in the air from one end, take out the wwater which collects in a tub (which needs to be emptied), and lets out drier air.
