 Servo Motor
A controller's input signal can cause an electric motor,
sometimes referred to as a servo motor, to spin or move to a
specific location, speed, or torque. The Latin word servus,
which meaning slave or servant, is the source of the English
word servo.

 Humidity Sensors
Electronic devices known as humidity sensors allow you
to measure the relative humidity of the air, you're in and
convert that information into an electrical signal that may be
used for a variety of purposes.
Fig 2: Servo Motor

 Battery
For our setup, two power supplies are required. One 12
volt DC for our pump and one for the entire apparatus. We use
two 18650 Li-Po batteries that are connected in parallel to
provide a 5 volt power source. These batteries only have 3.8
volts, so we also need to charge them with 5 volts. Thus, a
step-up circuit is used. Which raise 5 volts from 3.5 to 4.9
volts.
