2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said humidification unit includes a reservoir having a bottom wall and an upper wall, said reservoir having a fill port extending through said upper wall thereby facilitating said reservoir to be filled with the fluid, said reservoir having an outlet extending through said bottom wall, said reservoir being positionable on said reservoir platform having said outlet being fluid coupled to said fluid inlet thereby facilitating the fluid in said reservoir to enter into said vaporizer chamber.
3. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said humidification unit includes a vaporizer being positioned within said vaporizer chamber, said vaporizer being aligned with said exhaust chamber, said vaporizer vaporizing the fluid when said vaporizer is turned on such that the vaporized fluid travels upwardly through said exhaust chamber.
4. The assembly according to claim 3 , wherein said humidification unit includes a blower being positioned within said exhaust chamber, said blower urging air upwardly through said exhaust chamber and outwardly through said vapor outlet when said blower is turned on, said blower being in fluid communication with said vaporizer thereby facilitating said blower to urge the vaporized fluid outwardly through said vapor outlet.
5. The assembly according to claim 2 , wherein said humidification unit includes a vapor hose having a first end and a second end, said first end being fluidly coupled to said vapor outlet on said top wall of said exhaust tower of said housing such that said vapor hose receives the vaporized fluid from said exhaust chamber, said second end being fluidly coupled to a vent of said air conditioning system in said vehicle thereby facilitating said vent to receive the vaporized fluid for humidifying said cabin when said air conditioning system is turned on.
6. The assembly according to claim 2 , wherein said humidification unit includes a power cord being coupled to and extending away from said housing, said power cord being electrically coupled to said vaporizer and said blower, said power cord being electrically coupled to a power source comprising an electrical system of said vehicle.
7. The assembly according to claim 4 , wherein said control comprises:
a control panel having a top side;
a conductor being electrically coupled between said control panel and each of said vaporizer and said blower;
a fan control being movably integrated into said control panel, said fan control being electrically coupled to said conductor for turning said blower on and off; and
a vaporizer control being movably integrated into said control panel, said vaporizer control being electrically coupled to said conductor for turning said vaporizer on and off.
8. A vehicle humidification assembly for humidifying a cabin of a vehicle through the vehicle's existing air conditioning system, said assembly comprising:
a vehicle having a cabin and an air conditioning system;
a humidification unit being positioned in said vehicle, said humidification unit containing a fluid such that said humidification unit vaporizes the fluid when said humidification unit is turned on, said humidification unit being in fluid communication with said air conditioning system in said vehicle thereby facilitating said humidification unit to release the vaporized fluid into said air conditioning system for humidifying an interior of said cabin wherein said humidification unit is configured to enhance comfort for a driver of said vehicle, said humidification unit comprising:
a housing having a reservoir platform and an exhaust tower, said reservoir platform having a top surface, said exhaust tower having a top end, said housing having a fluid inlet extending through said top surface of said reservoir platform, said housing having a vapor outlet extending through said top end of said exhaust tower, said housing having a vaporizer chamber being integrated within said reservoir platform, said vaporizer chamber being in fluid communication with said fluid inlet, said housing having an exhaust chamber being integrated into said exhaust tower, said exhaust chamber extending between said vaporizer chamber and said vapor outlet, said exhaust chamber tapering between said vaporizer chamber and said vapor outlet;
a reservoir having a bottom wall and an upper wall, said reservoir having a fill port extending through said upper wall thereby facilitating said reservoir to be filled with the fluid, said reservoir having an outlet extending through said bottom wall, said reservoir being positionable on said reservoir platform having said outlet being fluid coupled to said fluid inlet thereby facilitating the fluid in said reservoir to enter into said vaporizer chamber;
a vaporizer being positioned within said vaporizer chamber, said vaporizer being aligned with said exhaust chamber, said vaporizer vaporizing the fluid when said vaporizer is turned on such that the vaporized fluid travels upwardly through said exhaust chamber;
a blower being positioned within said exhaust chamber, said blower urging air upwardly through said exhaust chamber and outwardly through said vapor outlet when said blower is turned on, said blower being in fluid communication with said vaporizer thereby facilitating said blower to urge the vaporized fluid outwardly through said vapor outlet;
