Default Re: Looking for mini smoke generator

Hey John. Welcome to the forum

Me and smoke generators just don't seem to get along. My first one lasted about 10 minutes! not even long enough to shoot a video.

Noticed the horizontal reciprocating piston. Oil cooks in front of it , piston pushes out. To create what you want to do seems very elaborate and hard to do, especially at 1/14th scale?

Oh wait, I have to take that back. Nothing is impossible to build! People prove it all the time! Almost a daily occurrence on this forum

Adding motor oil won't work. It's too thick and there's not enough heat generated to get it to smoke.
I couldn't find any " smoke oil " here at home but was told that mineral oil works fine and I got that at the local pharmacy.

I have a Rc tank that has a smoker and even that one quit on me in no time.

If you can figure out how to change the color from white to black, you may become a very wealthy man.

Keep us posted

Mario
