My Dad was a Special Effects guy in Hollywierd and we were working on a show called Escape from Witch Mountain and we had to fog in a Mountain. So my Dad built a Smoke Machine that could be hooked up to a huge wind machine. We made it to flow 30 gallons a minute of Smoke juice. It worked magnificently until the wind shifted and blew the smoke over freeway and stopped traffic. When I looked around my Dad, the Director, Producers were no where to be seen. So I got the Ticket from the Police. Your machine is pretty good.
to make that much smoke id imagine the machine must have had to run on propane or something.
So around Eastern in Germany it's often warm and rainy at the same time....We do easter fires, some big some small. The one of the St. George Scouts was regularly 2 stories high of dead wood. not totally dry...but unpaintet and untreated...
When the wind turned a big traffic crossing on the other side of a field was smoked up, traffic was stopped, and the firefighters ended the fun. :-(
Imagine having to fight fires at Eastern as a firefighter...most were properly wasted too, off course...
I loved that movie.
I also watched that movie every time it came on.
Of course they were no-where to be seen... They smoke screened the entire production
Here is a small tip: I repaired lots of smoke machine. They use a simple trick to prevent it from pissing hot fluid: they put the pump in parallel with the thermal switch. When the temperature is too low, the switch close and no power can go throught the pump. When the switch open the power can pass throught the element and into the pump, putting them effectivelly in series. This is fine as the element is so powerfull, so have a low resistance, compared to the tiny power that the pump use, which mean high resistance.
Also, add a thermal fuse as a meltdown protection!!
Another model I repaired use electronics to do the job of a dual thermostat. Basically it have a 2 set points. One is a pump lockout, the other is the heater cutout. Basically, if the core is too cold it disable the pump, which prevent it from pissing hot fluid. The second thermostat control the heater.
I don't know the exact set points, but let's say that the pump cut out at

C'est rare de voir un francophone faire une vidéo de si bonne qualité en anglais ^^ merci !
It's not often that we see a french producing this kind of video with such quality thank you
This could make an incredible home security system.

That is so amazing. I have searched so many forums and most people said it's impossible to build one from scratch. I'm so happy that somebody has built one DIY and that it works that well
You have my deepest respect for your craftmanships and dedication that you put into this project! Amazing job!
Supercool. I've set up different models of fog machines at parties, street parades, and I've seen a few models inside. I didn't really give it much thought if the heating element is filled with alu. :) Thanks for showing it from the DIY perspective.
"It's non toxic."
Yes but how about the fire station?
Why aren't you so famous , you put so much effort in all these videos ❤️❤️ love ya
Because the famous one put even more effort kid !
What a comeback! Awesome video all around!
I really appreciate the effort you put into the video!
I hope you keep making videos like this, subbed in the first minute muahahah
The anti-tomato is with us
Kind of like what happened with my first video of Integza’s... instant subscribe.
Love this, finally a smoke machine worth having. I need that much smoke for outdoor events, but don't have that kinda electric power off-grid, so I'm thinking of doing this using gas heaters instead...
Wow. Just WOW. Major DIY-actualization going on here! Kudos!
the smoke is burning blue, it should be white, which means its overheating. I am a special effects artist, and blue smoke reads incorrectly on camera, Its down to the oil overheating. You need to put a drip wire on the nozzle, tie of a piece of wire on the nozzle, this stops the oil dripping back on itself into the element area. A little drip tray will catch the oil as well. I use the Artem smoke machine its similar in principle except we use a gas flame to heat the element.
I assume the smoke fluid he is using is water-based?
That's really cool, can I ask how you got into that field?
I wonder that, too!
It is vapor, not smoke, unless there is some oil in the pipes that burns.
@@nhcs2k its burning glycerine hence smoke mixed with vapour. When cooler its vapour which should be white.
now add flavour and nicotine and start a Vape channel :D
nah,.. add the active drug found in Marijuana, and get everyone high without them knowing
hahahahaahaah Gold
Lol I almost said that till I saw you comment 😂
There's a hidden single frame at 8:51 that says "Yes, I vape..."
M S 😂😂😂
The level of skill & patience. My God. Amazing
Now this an appropriate fog machine. I could create some epic photographs with this set up. Excellent video!
Great work Nicolas! You gave me an amazing idea which is very similar to yours ! Here is how I'm thinking it : first I want to find the sweet spot of the car exhaust to have like 260-320°c at normal driving conditions, then unscrew the exhaust , make a lot of turns with the copper pipe , drill a hole with the same diameter as the pipe to send all the smoke through the exhaust. After that I'm going to pour aluminium on the copper (just like you did) and Wallah! Haha, all the other things are easy (pump, one way valve, liquid container).The car I want to do it on is really old and this is for prank reasons. Thanks again I can't wait for your next video!
My brothers car did the same thing after he blew the head gasket, plus it smelled sweet, just like antifreeze
What did your neighbors think when you were shooting so much smoke/ fog out of your yard and workshop? Did they call the fire department or anything?
Oh they're used to it x)
@@NicolasSalencPBP They were thinking "at least we do not live next to Colin Furze..."
Andreas- Underrated reply
@@NicolasSalencPBP I was going to say, Did you tell all your neighbors to unplug there smoke detectors LOL!
Lol nice comment tho
wow c’est incroyable de voir de des gens sont aussi déterminés à l’idée de faire une machine à fumée plus performante ! Super vidéo !
Your neighbors are going to love you. Great build!
Super video , sa fait plaisir de voir qu'un français arrive a se faire connaitre avec des tutos comme ça :)
2:34 Higher wattage will affect how much smoke it can produce! The liquid evaporating will steal energy (cool down) the system, and thus the heater has to pump more heat out in order to keep the system hot. If the heater isn't able to keep up with the amount of evaporation happening then you'll just get smoke liquid out the end of your tube instead of smoke.
Edit: 7:14 Nope, it's because your heater couldn't keep up with the cooling of the evaporation. Slow down the motor or get a bigger heater. Also, thermal conductivity to the coil from the heater could also be an issue.
Adding more aluminum like you suggest is a work around for not having a high enough power heater because the thermal mass of the aluminum acts as a sort of thermal capacitor. So the heater builds up thermal energy into your thermal capacitor which then gets drained as you cool it down by evaporating fog liquid.
Edit: "Yes, I vape" 🤣🤣🤣
I'm pretty sure even commercially available fog machines don't have enough heating capacity to keep up with the pumps, and thus rely on thermal mass to extend the time it can spew fog.
Very impressive machine sir. Great job.
Great idea, great plan, great build, awesome results, great video
Awesome effort and result!
Cheers!
@@NicolasSalencPBP I was wondering if you could sell me one of the mouse traps that you sent to shawnwoods
@@NicolasSalencPBP is that a yes cause I really need one the mice in my house are making a nest and I was wondering if you could make this with a sender from a motion sensor light
Also came from Shawn Woods and really want one of your mouse traps, please post when you decide to make some more. I do like your channel and will be following.
this video never ceases to amaze me.
Very interesting project, I might give it a shot this year...
Thank you!
Make a fog machine thst also blows bubbles, so you get smoke filled bubles. They are super fun to play with.
I came from Shawn wood and I like what you have
I am here for the same and from the same Peace
I was sad to see the price of that amazing mouse trap.
Dude, MOAR traps pronto lol
And today for Mouse Trap Monday. P.s I found my own way here. And I'm glad I did, That's cool
mad respect for your skills. I loved watching this.
Nicely built and very effective. New subscriber from New Zealand.

Now make a monster fog chiller so the fog stays low to the ground!
And compare it to a Glaciator X-Stream
Thanks for this vid! I watched the other vid about making fog juice, and after searching for a bit, got some Glycerin and Glycol, but when I went to start test found my Pump had gone bad!. (in my 700W unit, heres me thinking it was a cheap throw-away 400w thing). But, having watched this vid I realized how smegging easy it was to just replace the pump!. (well kinda, the new pump was slightly longer, so there had to be some adjustments made to the machine). So thanks, this saved my $100 fog machine !! (the replacement pump was $20, plus install time).
Just waiting on a hose ($7) from Amazon, and Ill be able to build my fog cooler and actually test it out!?
Again, thanks for this Vid. !!
That's an amazing result!
Immagine some one would think that his house is on smoke and some one called fire department. 😂😂😂
your english accent is really good ... pour un francais ;)
Seus vídeo é show de bola, muito bem explicado e transparente, parabéns
Awesome machine, wish I had one for my Halloween display. I'm debating on attempting one.
that's also a great way to find out who in the audience is allergic to strawberries.
Baisicly a big flavourless vape
Totally Awesome Build Thanks for sharing
Wow je suis impressionné par ton accent juste parfait, même le "voilà" faisait très anglais qui essayait de parler un peu français. Super vidéo j'ai adoré, continue !
This has an element of Colin Furze to it with it's exposed live metal electronic parts

This is epic, thanks for sharing and all the hard work.
This has so many applications every home should have one.
8:46 when you open a highschool bathroom stall
Can we to.
Woah!
Finally an E-Cigarette strong enough for my needs!
That's really cool, top work mate.
Your so smart.Great explanation.
Thanks Much for upload this. can you make 1.or more for sale.?
Shawn Wood sent me!
I could use that fogger for my large Halloween display!
I bought a $30 fogger from BJ's many years ago.
It's great, because the wired remote has dials for frequency and duration of fog. (It also has sound affects and a strobe.)
The new ones only have a temporary push button, which doesn't work for me.
It's been giving me trouble lately, but a couple whacks from a hammer on the motor straightened it out. lol
Wish I could find more of this particular type.
Subbed!
The finished product that you have is brilliant but when you fired it up in ur workshop it reminded me of the security devices that go under the 1 name of smokecloak great job tho u got my subscription 👍👌
Great project, V3.0 nailed it!
nice. 8:50 yes, i vape.
mark ade: need this guy for Vape public relations👍💨💨
I thought i was the only one that saw that
Its actually 8:51
@@mahmutcaliskan1221 yes xD
AYE i saw that "Yes i vape."
great presentation ....... love this
What an incredibly talented crafter you are !
Thanks for also showing the failed prototypes and the mistakes, that helps feeling less stupid when we miswire or misdrill sth ;)
Et un commentaire pour le référencement ;)
You can short a battery. It makes better smokes. It can also convert your house into smokes
Khyles Gibrian Ramos great idea
I like the mouse trap you make with heat sensor!!!
What a cool machine!
This is awesome!!! I wonder how it look coming out of a cooler filled with dry ice!? I tried that with a 1600 watt machine, 30 lbs of dry ice, and along with a ground disperser. It stayed really low to the ground
Wow very cool 👍 nice video
this smoke machine is epic... sometimes you just need a stage to be covered in smoke in seconds.... XD
Excellent work
Super cool work brother
A small version inside car can work as anti-theft device.

Que legal ! Queria uma dessas 😍
I'm here after seeing your mouse trap in action. I'm disappointed that there's no video detailing the development.
8:51 “yes I vape” on the corner of the screen play on 0.25 speed
Thank you so much for making this video. I want to make a portable fog machine. I am thinking of using a heavy-duty vape device.
Great great job! I may wanna make one myself one day.
These devices are used for security purposes as well, connected as active devices on alarm systems. The idea is that a blast of fog can make intruders to change plans.
I think it's when all the strobes and lasers come on, and Megalovania starts playing. They just don't want to hang around to see what's next.
imagine putting the stinky element used for home natural gas into that fog... the criminal fools would think a gas line had opened up on them. 🤣🤣
I bet you got the neighbors startled the first time 😂😂
Nice job, cool tutorial. It looks like you've got your fluid volume too high for what those heating elements are capable of vaporizing. That's why you have so much moisture building up on the floor in front of the machine.
Excelent! In my country, there are More smoke courtain.
Nicolas ... How do I get in touch with you regarding the mouse plank you shared with Shawn Wood? I want one! Or at least know how to make one! What a great idea! The fog machine is freak'n cool as well.
i'm more impressed about your english skills than your inventions.
AWESOME! Wish I had one of those.
It is bad ass how you where able to figure it out and build your own fogmachine. Just seems like alot of work for the average person.
These are used for security too, when an alarm is triggered, tons of fog are released making it basically impossible to see.
This is exactly what I was thinking it could be used for, when he fired it up indoors!
TheSaint135 this is actually a product sold commercially to places like jewelry stores.
@@Mrcaffinebean I work in the security industry and have seen these at trade shows, but they don't sell well.
TheSaint135 yeah I kind of figured as much. I think the money is often better spent in other ways. Window film, alarm sensors and security cameras all will do a better job.
@@Mrcaffinebean that's not really the reason, these work great but the problem I see is that you need to keep them extremely hot 24/7 to be ready to vaporize at any time, so this is just like having an 800 to 2000 watts heater running constantly, it gets expensive real fast. There's also a chemical version made for cars, those don't require constant power and deliver a mild eye irritant if the car alarm activates. Personally my car alarm has activated countless times by mistake and none because of a break in so I'm not sure I'd want one of those either.
7:47 😂😂😂😂 mon style de reaction
Thanks for sharing, my friend! Very good!
Great sharp video.
6:36 imagine if it cut to v-sauce walking into a light blue grayish room questioning fog
I’m not convinced that you’re not the Hacksmith
I was thinking I was watching the Hacksmith 2nd channel at this point they look so alike lmao
Right🤙🤟 lets go
I HIGHLY recommend some type of thermal compound between the thermal switches and the aluminum tubing.
Fun fact! Here in the United States, we actually do use 240 volts! We just create 2 120v potentials and when you cross them together through the coil, you get 240 volts. They are separated in our breaker boxes and the big circuit breakers for 240v just simply bypass the transformer coil and goes across the two potentials making 240 volts. We mainly have this separation for massive appliances like stoves, washing machines and dryers. The 120v is SAFER (not safe) to handle with our main electronics like home PC's, televisions, radios, phones, etc.
8:51 “yes, I vape...”
I wanna build this as a getaway smoke screen device for my car, lol.
Just add glycerine nozzles into your exhaust manifold, gets very hot, instant fog wall for sure.
Don't forget to post the video!
Really superb bro that was awesome nice video
