LiveMusic Posted March 19, 2001 Share Posted March 19, 2001 This isn't really appropo for this forum but I don't know where to ask it. I'm just curious how a smoke generating machine works. (Not that I want one.) Is it pumping out dry ice vapor? How the heck does it work? Is there some sort of reaction going by generating an electric current between different materials or something? Inquiring minds want to know. Just because. > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted March 19, 2001 Share Posted March 19, 2001 I can see it now...that would be hilarious...a solo acoustic act...doing some song like "American Pie" or something, with flash pods, a smoke machine...WHOOMP! HAHAHAHAHA....uh, sorry. Really, I don't know. They use some sort of "fog juice" with a disclaimer that reads "should be safe for healthy people to breathe for short intervals". That doesn't exactly sound encouraging to me. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHAN Posted March 19, 2001 Share Posted March 19, 2001 I've (HACK) never noticed (COUGH) any kind of (BURNING EYES) problem with (THROWING UP BLOOD) our new (MEMORY PROBLEMS) smoke machine (VERTIGO). http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Well, I do have that extra toe now though.

Tedster Posted March 19, 2001 Share Posted March 19, 2001 According to Cheech Marin, that's 'cause you're using the wrong smoke juice. You oughta be using the stuff imported from Jamaica with the little seeds that go pop. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gifhttp://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gifhttp://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The singer in a friend's band used to grab a fog machine onstage and smoke it..... .. that, combined with probably other chemical experimentation may have caused his child to have certain defects.... A few years later this same band with a different singer asked me to come check them out at a local club... I walk up to the door and notice smoke is coming out from the seams of the door; open the door and a *wall* of smoke *pours* out: all you could see were stage lights "somewhere" opposite the door, you couldn't even see the bouncer standing a foot or so inside the door. Almost couldn't see your hand in front of your face; I waited until it cleared out... They had borrowed a bunch of fog machines from other bands in town for kicks and turned them all on in a club measuring about 100x35. People thought it was "great".... Fog juice is a highly refined mineral oil, right? http://www.mp3.com/chipmcdonald Guitar Lessons in Augusta Georgia: www.chipmcdonald.com Eccentric blog: https://chipmcdonaldblog.blogspot.com/ / "big ass windbag" - Bruce Swedien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
