Smoke Machine in Kevin and Perry Go large?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   So I watched this the other night and in the club there is a part where you just see the crowd and this huge amount of smoke just covers them totally blasting in their face

Was wondering if they just have some mentally powerful crazy smoke machine

mutiple smoke machines firing at it or some special way of doing it, me and my dad were thinking some kind of resovoir where the smoke is kept and blasted out by huge fans or something

short clip at 0:48 in this video

cheers :)

	Does it act like a smoke machine does the haze hang around or does it dissapear instantly?

	Disperses pretty quickly, you need to keep an eye on CO2 levels so not suitable for extended periods of use. For large smoke outputs look at the old Jem Roadie, a 10kw smoke machine.... I'm currently touring one, it's getting a bit long in the tooth now and always gets a raised eyebrow when I request a 32a 3 phase supply for my "small smoke machine"......

	I thought as much For the venues we do the smoke machine we have is adequate a cheapy chauvet 1300W thing not proffesional by your guys standards but it does a good job... I was just interested in the way they did it

	I have a question, when I've under a CO2 cannon, it seems to starve the oxygen making it a little hard to breathe, or is that just me?

	They used quite a lot of CO2 at Pulse, and whilst it was very hot too, I don't think it helped matters pumping the place full of CO2. Max was ill after one I think.

	mm didnt think about that :/ That amount of c02 can't be good in confined spaces I suppose if an electrical fire breaks out your sorted for extinguishers....
