Do you want to fill your home party with the excitement and atmosphere of a real enchanting show? This can be done with a DIY heavy smoke generator. You will need an old working iron or hotplate. In this case, an example with an iron is considered.
It is necessary
- - two aluminum containers;
- - iron or electric stove;
- - plastic bottle;
- - computer cooler;
- - stones or asbestos;
- - heat-resistant glue;
- - liquid for the smoke machine.
Instructions
Step 1
Set the iron to the highest temperature, but do not plug it in yet. Place it inside an aluminum container, soles up. Then make a hole in the container for the iron cord. It should be on the wall below. Seal the hole with foil, heat-resistant sealant or glue. It is important to note that if your iron has an auto-off function, then it is better to use an electric stove. Secure the iron with small stones or asbestos so that it is securely fastened and centered in the container.
Step 2
In order for the liquid to drip evenly onto the evaporating surface, make a dropper. Cut a plastic bottle in half, pierce the bottom with a needle, pour water into it and check the intensity of the drops. More holes can be added to increase the intensity.
Step 3
Take another aluminum container, turn it upside down and punch a few holes in the center. Attach the bottle to the container so that the holes in the bottom of the bottle line up with the holes in the container.
Step 4
Now you need to connect the fan. You can use a computer cooler for this. Place it against the side of the second container, and circle it with a pencil. Then cut a hole slightly smaller than the outline and glue the device there. To turn on and off the cooler, you need to strip both ends of the wires coming out of it and glue them with electrical tape to a 12 volt battery. In this case, the electrical tape will help turn the fan on and off by peeling it off the battery. It is important that the fan draws air out of the container, if it is spinning in the wrong direction, just flip it upside down.
Step 5
Connect both containers so that the one with the iron is at the bottom and the cooler is at the top. Make sure the holes in the upper bottle container are facing the iron. Then try turning on the iron to check the heating power. If the upper container gets too hot, the power of the iron can be reduced. After setting the power, it is better to fix the containers together with paper clips and leave a small gap for better air circulation. Try pouring 2 - 4 cm of special fluid for a smoke machine into a bottle, start the iron and fan. Smoke should appear from the fan within a few seconds.
