Bubbles and Smoke
I love bubbles. Last Fathers Day they got me a Chauvet B-550 Bubble King. It was our 4th bubble machine. We tried the cheaper plastic ones but they kept breaking and didn’t put out very many bubbles. We are still experimenting with different bubble solutions but whatever we try this machine puts out a ton of bubbles.So after playing with it for a while I had an idea. Wouldn’t it be cool if we could make bubbles with smoke in them? I asked at work if anyone had a smoke machine I could borrow and sure enough Bruce had one in his office. First thing I gathered all the materials.
- Two able body assistants
- Chauvet B-550 Bubble King
- Generic Bubble solution (for bubble machine)
- Smoke machine
- Bubble wand
- Gazillion Bubble Solution (for big bubbles)
Here are my partners in crime.
Our first test we tried to make smoke in bubbles with Dry Ice. It didn’t turn out very good. The smoke from Dry Ice dissipated too quickly. It was then we thought of trying the smoke machine. After I borrowed the smoke machine from Bruce I tried it out in my house. Sure enough my smoke detector works. No more testing inside. Hence you see our outdoor setup.I started testing by making sure the Bubble King would work with the new cheap bubble solution I am trying.
It works but the bubbles are a little smaller than the last solution I tried. The video is of the smoke machine blowing into the bubble machine to make smoke bubbles.
Later I tried to make large bubble with small bubbles inside them. Here is a picture of that.
I then went on to try to feed the smoke though the bubble machine and make a large smoke bubble with bubbles inside of it.
The large smoke bubbles are cool because when they pop you are left in a large cloud of smoke. As show by Jordan from next door. The smoke is vanilla scented so it’s not a bad thing to be in a cloud of it.
I need to clean up how I am doing video links on the blog but all in all I am happy with the bubble experiment.
