[NSRCA-discussion] Smoke

 I debate whether to suggest this.....not wanting to be funny.
Use a empty paint can(preferably a new one), install 2 tubes into the top(maybe solder copper tubes) so that you can connect one to your airbrush pump and the other to a small long length of tygon tubing. Now the funny part,put some lit cigars in the can and close the lid. Regulate the pump pressure so that the cigars stay lit and smoking. The pump is their oxygen supply. The exit line is your wand you were talking about. If cigars don't work find something wet that will burn and smolder.

...............runnin and hiding.........

  Has anyone experience with smoke generators that might be used to observe cooling airflows around motors / engines? I've experience with smoke wands / sticks, but the ones I'm familiar with produce corrosive / toxic smoke (and often way too much). I've also looked at the smoke generators used by the scale RC steamboat folks, but they don't seem to generate enough smoke. (I can get about the same with a soldering gun and flux / oil.) I'd really like a controllable wand that generated a fairly small stream of dense smoke. Any ideas?

  Earl
