Title: Smoke Generating Setup,,
Post by: stay`tee on June 17, 2013, 03:20:49 AM

Need some ideas on how to build a gizmo to produce and deliver smoke for use in a small wind tunnel made to take 1:12 scale models,  :-),,

How about one of the smoke kits they have for 1/4 scale r/c airplanes. Check at your local hobby shop.

How about a cheap smoke machine from eBay with a funnel over its outlet hooked to a small tube?

Put dry ice and water in a 5 gallon bucket and then put a hole in the lid for a hose and pip it where you want the smoke to go.  Tony

some good leads there fellas, thanks, keep 'em coming,,,

its one thing to produce the smoke, but another to get a steady constant delivery at the wands end for a reasonable amount of time to be able to observe in detail whats happening in/with the flow, :-),,,

Won`t help you at all...But...when I was just a young floydjer, I soldered a petcock with a handle extension to a 5 # coffee can and screwed it to the firewall of my `63 Impala SS.. Hooked a hose to the intake manifold and filled the can with ATF......Good lord does that make smoke. :cheers: :evil:

you know that fright you get when something huge looms in your rear view mirror?....I once did a master cylinder and sucked brake fluid into the intake manifold.....massive cloud of white smoke in my street.. :roll:

everything went wrong with that car... :cry:

you can by that smoke oil from lighting/AV supplies, smells poxy and the moment you fire it up you'll have every dodgy disco dirtbag in your neighborhood coming out of the woodwork.

Try a theatrical supply house for non-toxic smoke. Sorry I don't know more about it, e.g. duration, etc.

On the Simulator in the Air Force they used heated mineral oil for, of course, oil smoke and Lionel Toy Train Smoke for electrical smoke...Pilots had to react differently to each.
