Homemade Fog Machine
Are you looking to create a scary and realistic Halloween-like setting for your theme party? Then, go through this article for more information, as we have mentioned 5 simple techniques to create a homemade fog machine.
- Fill the glass container with 3 or more tablespoon of glycerin, depending on how thick you want the fog to form and then add 1/2 cup of distilled water.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly, till the glycerin dissolves.
- Now, prep the apparatus. First fix and light the candle, next cut the top 8 inches of the soda bottle as shown in the image and attach the soda bottle to the aluminum foil cup with scotch tape.
- Next, using tongs carefully hold the foil cup, just above the burning candle and pour a little amount of fog fluid into the soda bottle.
- Now, wait patiently for a couple of minutes, until the mixture heats up and then you will get to see nicely formed thick fog.
- Fill the jug with 1 cup of hot water.
- Next, take the Ziploc bag and fill it with 7-8 ice cubes.
- Then, cover the jug with the Ziploc bag, that is filled with ice.
- When water vapor comes in contact with ice, it creates fog.
- Fill the soda bottle with 1 cup of hot water.
- Now using a medicine dropper, take 3 drops of rubbing alcohol and add it to the bottle with hot water.
- Next, place a cube of ice on the top of the soda bottle.
- You will see fog developing instantly, due to the rubbing alcohol in the bottle.
- Always wear protective gloves, while handling dry ice to prevent severe frostbite.
- And don't forget dry ice is nothing but solidified carbon dioxide; and inhaling too much could be suffocating.
- Cut two big holes at the sides of the insulated container, one for the small fan to fit and the other one for the fog to exit.
- Now, fill the container with ½ gallon of hot water.
- Next, drop the block of dry ice into the container and cover it with the locking lid.
- You will notice fog pouring out as dry ice begins to melt and by using a small fan, you are directing the fog to spread around the room.
- One pound of dry ice will last for about 4 hours, to make it last longer increase the dry ice quantity.
- Use a strong insulated container for the main part of the setup. Fill the container with mineral oil or baby oil, whichever is available.
- Drill 3-4 small holes at the end of the copper tube, now insert this end of the pipe into the container and make sure it touches the bottom of the bucket.
- Seal the container tightly, now drill 2 openings at the top of the lid, one to allow 1 ¼ inch ABS barbed tee fitting to fit, for the fog to go out and second one to supply compressed air into the bucket through the other end of the copper tubing.
- The compressed air vaporizes oil and produces a good amount of odorless fog.
- If the insulation supplying air has more holes, more fog is automatically generated. Hence, the arrangement can be suitably altered to suit your requirement.
- To lessen the fog, you can cool the solution by pouring some chilled water or ice.
