No worries Jeremie. I did think about putting a fan on top of the bucket to force the vapor through the pipe faster (bit like jets), but didn't like the idea of hanging an electric fan over the vapors.

I did have a look about the stuff that's used to make steam for model railways, but apparently it's quite messy stuff and leaves a sticky residue once it settles. I love the video though. That's a really good projection image. (made me jump too, lol). eek Have you got that link for the projection material?

EDIT: Don't worry, I found some.

Clear rear projection film

lol, hopefully it didn't scare you too bad Steve

Here's the link: http://atmosfx.com/products/hollusion-projection-material

I'm sure there's probably an equivalent material at my local craft store but I haven't had a chance to look. I'd much rather go the local route as I only need a small piece of material.

Well,, LOL,, I got a gallon of "Smoke Juice" and a smoke machine. It looks like I will fire it up on the weekend and see if I can fill my workshop with magic smoke anyway.. I must warn my wife not to call the fire department..

@Jeremie.

Just gone to bed, but having trouble sleeping for some reason?

@Ron.

Good luck with the experiment. I'll look forward to hearing/seeing your results.

Hello All, I ran the smoke machine and got way more than I expected. It filled the shop quickly and it drove me out...LOL...

Commercial smoke juice comes in gallons (US) and works by heating a cup then pumping the juice into the cup. Blowing air over it thru a nozzle with holes in it makes the smoke.

You can make a lot of smoke easily, but it may get messy. Combining it with the fan and screen ribbon would look great for the projection.

PS there it an odor, not bad, but it has a smell.

Ah man.... you guys are doing it the hard way.... Here's what you do... Just go out and buy a bunch of arduino Uno's and run 24 Volts through them. Reverse the polarity if you're feelin' it...... That should provide you with a lot of that magical smoke for your hologram....

Hello my friend,,,, Yes, there are plenty around, and cheap too!

Any thoughts about those VEX motor Servos? or should I add them to the Arduinos?
