LeMaitre Special Effects: Megatron

The Megatron is a very high powered, liquid nitrogen, fog cannon. Capable of engulfing an entire dance floor with freezing fog in just a few seconds, these cryogenic cannons are the ultimate nightclub effect. Blasting up to 6 cubic meters of fog per second from its 35mm diameter nozzle, the megatron uses liquid nitrogen at -198°C to create its awesome effect.

These cryogenic fog cannons first started out in the clubs of Ibiza and Miami but have now been installed in super clubs all over the world from the UK to Russia.

The effect is primarily intended for nightclubs but can also be used to mask scene changes, simulate smoke as in the blast from a rocket taking-off or as an icy finale to an attraction or show.
A loud roar also accompanies the effect as the system blasts up to 50 liters of liquid nitrogen per second into the atmosphere.
A recent development is the conversion of the system from Liquid Nitrogen to Liquid Air which eliminates any need for oxygen depletion monitoring and means the effect can be used as much or as little as required with no adverse effects on health or worries about respiratory problems.

The Megatron comes in two standard sizes, although systems can be designed and built to suit any size venue and with any number of effect heads.

All Megatron fog cannons are "made to order" (as they are very expensive units) and have a lead time of a minimum 10 to 12 weeks from receipt of order.
