how have you made it

[Dranod]

@crazyrobot1995 we used a gas camping stove with a small tin strapped sideways to the burner. We used a center-punch and a drill to make an inward puckered hole.

we added 1/3 tin of "fog juice" 60/40 glycol water mix, and lit the burner.

When I was in High school we made these and once we smoked all the teachers out of the staff room during break... It was really funny.

The best of all is that we never got into any trouble for that cos they couldn't proof it was us that did it.

[Dranod]

Did you use glycol or something else?

[Dranod]

Glycol and water 60/40

small puckered hole in the tin

sorry for the delay in reply.

[Dranod]

Yeah thats my brother. since made some slightly safer redesigns of this. This was more a proof of concept.

[Dranod]

Apologies for the delay, you will now find construction details in another comment for this video.

[ChicagoEddie]

Can you elaborate on how you made so much smoke?

[Dranod]

Well, I have kept the exact details fairly secret on this one, until after the film festivals, but with any good invention I design the chinese come out with it weks later so it doesnt matter. I may find the time to post an articleon my website explaining it all, but for now, I will send you my email addy to your inbox and we can talk there.
