ELECTRIC CLOUD MAKER
Roctronics Entertainment Lighting of Cambridge, Mass.
announces a new fog-making machine for entertainment applications. The push of a button opens a valve, allowing an electrical pump to inject the fog juice into the heating chamber. The
fog juice vaporizes into a dense, white cloud which will continue
to spray out as long as the plunger is depressed and operating
temperature is maintained.
The fogger contains a full gallon of fog juice which may be
mixed of locally obtainable materials. The recipe is printed on the
side of every machine. A heavy duty aluminum heat shield protects the user from the hot chamber and guards the plastic case
against damage.
The machine represents a significant improvement over earlier
types which required hand pumping of the juice into the heating
chamber. The 1 -gallon storage reservoir is 4 times the capacity of
other fog machines. Lastly, the user is not restricted to expensive
pre-mixed formulas and long shipping delays, but can obtain the
necessary fluids from local hardware stores.
