1. A device for generating an aerosol of a liquid, comprising:
- a housing having an inlet and an outlet;
a liquid container in the housing for containing the liquid;
an air passageway in the housing from the inlet to the outlet;
a wire coil in the air passageway, the wire coil concentric with a tube in the air passageway, on one side of the liquid container, with the tube extending horizontally;
a pump in the housing connected to the liquid container;
the tube extending from the pump at least partially into the wire coil for pumping liquid from the liquid container onto the wire coil; and
a sensor in the housing for detecting inhalation, and a battery in the housing electrically connected to the sensor, the pump and the wire coil.

12. A device for generating an aerosol of a liquid, comprising:
-
an air passageway between an inlet and an outlet in a housing; a liquid container for holding a liquid in the housing; a wire coil and a rod in the air passageway, on one side of the liquid container, the wire coil in a segment of the air passageway arranged to provide air flow over the wire coil in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the rod; with the rod within the wire coil and extending from a first end of the wire coil to a second end of the coil, and with the wire coil oriented parallel to a longitudinal axis of the air passageway, with the rod outside of the liquid container and adapted for moving liquid from the liquid container to the wire coil; a pump in the housing connected for pumping liquid from the liquid container onto the rod and to the wire coil; and a battery in the housing electrically connected to the pump and to the rod which conducts electricity to the wire coil. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
