Today it is difficult to imagine a modern disco without various lighting effects - laser light music, stroboscopes, color music scanners and it is also difficult to imagine these same lighting effects without the use of smoke generators. It’s not without reason that people say light without smoke is a waste of money... but what if you’re planning to throw a small party and you have some kind of light and music but no smoke generator? Yes, everything is very simple, now I will present to you the simplest and easiest machine to make (The smoke generator)…
There’s even nothing to imagine here, everything is clear from the figure, oh yes, you need to connect a thermostat to the heater’s power circuit, and before the steam exits into the pipe with the fan, you can put a sump to accumulate the liquid that has not had time to evaporate, then it is reused. Instead of an electric valve, you can use a mechanical one.

Now let's move on to the liquid for smoke generators, many different versions of this mixture are sold today, but you can make it yourself, for this you need 85 parts of water, 10 parts of glycerin (sold in a pharmacy) and 5 parts of alcohol.The smoke generator was glycerin itself, alcohol increased the evaporation temperature, and water was the solvent and filler. You can also experiment with flavorings; I used perfume, the result is positive, only you need to add very little of them.


Well, actually, everyone who has any questions, please ask in the comments...

    I made a smoky liquid, everything according to the recipe, no smoke! What could this be connected with? Maybe I can buy fresh glycerin, otherwise my 3 year old one has expired?

    You need a really working smoke machine! The liquid itself will not smoke. A smoke machine uses a hot heater; when it hits it, the liquid suddenly turns into “dry steam.”

    Hello!
    you need 85 parts of water, 10 parts of glycerin (sold at the pharmacy) and 5 parts of alcohol - you can write all this in LITERS and in grams. For example, for 1 liter of water how many tablets and alcohol) Thank you in advance!... happy

    per liter of water comes out to 118 ml of glycerin and 60 ml of alcohol. Z.Y.: Glycerin is not a tablet... biggrin

    it is sold in electrical stores (a 1 kilowatt heater will do for this purpose)
