SMOKEBUBBLE BLASTER!
The MAGICFX

SMOKEBUBBLE BLASTER is a special effects machine that launches
bubbles (optionally filled with smoke) into the air with a capacity of 6 000 bubbles a
minute.

SMOKEBUBBLE BLASTER pumps bubble fluid from a jerrycan to the
bubble heads. The bubble fluid leaves a bubble head through the double-walled
exterior. A servo-driven wiper frequently wipes the head. This creates a small
membrane on the head. The air from an overpressurized chamber behind the
bubble heads blows the air into the membrane. This creates a trail of bubbles from
the bubble head.
A pair of fans blow air into the chamber behind the bubble heads. This creates the
overpressure conditions in the chamber. Another pair of fans is positioned
underneath the heads. The controllable air flow from the fans will launch the bubbles
high into the air.
Optionally smoke fluid is pumped from a jerrycan, vaporized into smoke by two
heating elements and led to the bubble heads. The smoke output is located inside
the bubble head. The smoke from the output is mixed with the air that makes the
bubbles.
Unused bubble fluid from the bubble heads will fall into a drip tray. A drain and
connected hose transports the remains back into the jerrycan with bubble fluid.
