When no power is available (not even a generator)
these are the few ways you can generate fog on location.
Hand
Portable Smoke Machine - after an initial heating
on main power, this unit can be unplugged and used to generate
a dense fog for 2 - 3 minutes within a 20 minute period. The
1.1kW basic version can run even on the most ropey of generators!
240v / 110v.
Gas
powered smoke gun -
Ideal for location work, as no mains power is needed to generate
large amounts of fog. It uses conventional butane gas - cylinders
are available in most DIY shops.
Mobile
Smoke Machine -
Highly portable battery powered machine designed for photographers,
but suitable for theatrical and cinematic purposes. Please note
- this is not a high output smoke machine. A 400W version is
also available.
12V
DC Smoke Machine -
A 12V DC powered smoke machine that was originally designed
for car security. Uses a car battery.
