How to make a smoke bomb: step-by-step instructions for making it at home, quick DIY methods + photo examples.

Liquid artificial smoke is familiar to almost every store-bought smoked meat lover. Manufacturers use it to improve the aroma and appearance of the finished dish and reduce cooking time. Bypassing the smokehouse, meat and fish still acquire a characteristic golden crust and a similar taste. Is it possible to achieve the same effect using liquid smoke for home smoking, is it harmful and where to look for a healthier alternative to the additive, read on.

Types of colored smoke bombs. All about them

Any photography specialist thinks about creating an impeccable background for photographs. At the same time, often when taking photographs on the street, you need to hide debris or an object that does not fit into the design of the photo. And in most cases the smoke effect is used. And to implement it, you can go in 2 ways - use the Photoshop program, where you can create such an effect, or use a machine that generates smoke. At the same time, the last option is much more realistic and allows you to bring different silhouettes into reality. Much depends on the behavior of the smoke.

The construction set includes:

Ultrasonic humidifier module
power unit
Plastic container with valve hole
Container lid with connectors installed
Ventilation ducts
Fan
Power cords
Float valve
Overflow fitting
Sealing glands

At the customer's request, it is possible to equip the humidifier waterproof power supply, but the cost of the humidifier will increase by the difference in the cost of power supplies.

How to make a colored smoke bomb or colored smoke with your own hands

If you are into photography, then you have often had to deal with the task of diversifying the background in your photographs. There are a huge number of photo editors that can draw various elements of a smoke screen. However, such smoke is easy to distinguish from real smoke. The natural smoke screen in the photo can have different shapes and outlines; it adds mystery and fabulousness to the image and this is a definite plus. That is why the easiest way to create a curtain is with the help of modern pyrotechnics - smoke bombs or colored smoke. However, despite this, many resort to creating smoke bombs with their own hands. We will publish one of these methods on our website.

We do not recommend creating smoke bombs with your own hands!

Before using the information in this article, read the safety rules for using pyrotechnics!

Making smoke bombs with your own hands is a budget-friendly method, but not always completely safe. All ingredients are easy to get in the store, but we strongly do not recommend repeating the described methods yourself. This article is primarily for informational purposes.

To make your own colored smoke, you don't need many things.

First of all, ammonium nitrate (ammonium nitrate). It is available for purchase at any garden store. Ammonium nitrate is a white powder and is a fertilizer. In some countries it is prohibited for sale due to its use in the creation of explosives. However, in Russia it can be easily purchased. An analogue is potassium nitrate.

You will also need plain paper. You can take a newspaper or other paper publication.

Next, you need to pour saltpeter into a plastic bottle and dilute it in water.

One liter of water requires three hundred grams of saltpeter. It is better to use an empty 1 liter bottle.

During the process of dissolving nitrate, the temperature of the solution decreases noticeably. You will notice this. The bottle will become ice cold. The resulting foam must be removed. This amount is enough for forty sheets of paper (newspaper) or four checkers.

In order to wet the newspapers you need to take a spray bottle. He puts it on the bottle.

Next, you need to spread all the newspaper sheets and spray with the solution. Remember that saltpeter emits toxic fumes. Therefore, this cannot be done indoors. It is better to process the sheets outside or in the garage.

Each new sheet is placed on the previous one and moistened. Makes 10 layers of paper.

After you saturate 10 sheets with the solution. They need to be turned over and wait for the solution to be evenly distributed in the layers of newspaper. Wait until our design dries a little. Then we begin to assemble a new smoke bomb.

We take a sheet of paper treated with the solution in our hands and begin to bend it in half, curling it into a tube. Take the next sheet and repeat the procedure. It turns out to be a thick roll of paper, which we wrap with tape.

In order for your saber to burn slowly, it is better to take a metal cone. Take a Pepsi or beer can and cut off the top. It is important that the checker is tightly located inside the jar. After placing the checker in it, there should be 1.5 cm left from the edge of the jar. The edge needs to be bent inward.

If you want colored smoke to be released when burning, then add henna. You can also use food coloring. After setting your checker on fire, throw it away from you. Most often, a lot of smoke is produced, so it is better to use this bomb in a deserted place or in nature.

Proper use of a smoke bomb made from sodium bicarbonate

Using a smoke bomb is not difficult if the manufacturing process is completed correctly. Before lighting the wick, make sure that the length of the cord is at least 5 cm. A prerequisite is to use the smoke blower only outdoors!

Lighting a smoke bomb indoors can cause respiratory problems, even smoke poisoning. After lighting, discard the smoke bomb. The minimum distance at which it is recommended to stay is 5 m.

After the smoke disappears, it is not recommended to immediately approach the used smoke bomb. You must wait at least a quarter of an hour, then pick up the device. Disposal over an open fire is prohibited - it is better to throw the smoke fume into a trash container.

Necessary materials

What can you use to make a smoke generator with your own hands? The simplest option is to use a piece of metal pipe.

If you take a round pipe, then it is advisable to take a diameter of 8-9 cm, if profiled - from 8 * 8 cm. The volume of sawdust laid will depend on the cross-sectional area. The optimal length for the pipe is 1 m.

You will also need a 3/4 inch pipe - a piece approximately 30 cm long. You still cannot do without a twenty centimeter 1/4 inch pipe, a steel mesh with 2-3 mm cells and a rod for the legs. Don’t forget about a compressor with a fitting (you can take it from an aquarium).

Smoke bomb as a method of fighting bedbugs

Drugs in this group are far from the most popular and widespread. And this is due mainly to the undeservedly low awareness of them and the effectiveness of their work. Externally, a smoke bomb looks like a tin can containing granular or powdered insecticide. Sometimes the product comes in a hard compressed form with a wick for lighting and is sold in cardboard or plastic packaging.

Sulfur smoke bomb "Climate" destroys bedbugs, but is more suitable for the cellar

How it works

The principle of operation of smoke bombs:

After activation, the drug begins to emit caustic insecticidal smoke, which, being a gaseous substance, spreads evenly in all directions, occupying the entire volume of the room.

When using an insecticidal smoke bomb, the smoke disperses throughout the room, penetrating into all cracks and nooks.
Reaching the parasites, the smoke settles on their bodies and enters the respiratory system. Through the chitinous cover or respiratory system, the insecticide penetrates into the insect's body and causes a nerve-paralytic effect. After this, the insect dies.
In addition, the insecticidal agent also settles on the surfaces of the room and retains its properties for some time, which is protection against the appearance of new insects. Even if they are able to enter the house again and crawl through the remains of the insecticide, their future fate will be sealed. The toxic substance, if it gets on the paws and abdomen, will cause the same paralysis of the nervous system.

The name of many insecticidal preparations contains a clarification of the direction of action, for example, against mosquitoes, flies or wasps. But don’t let this note confuse you. The fact is that flies and mosquitoes annoy almost everyone, unlike bedbugs. And the inscription “Mosquito smoke bomb” is a kind of marketing ploy, focusing on the destruction of a specific and very common insect. At the same time, the drug itself copes well with other types of insects, including bedbugs.

The Help smoke bomb will help get rid of not only mosquitoes, but also other insects, including bedbugs

Scope of application: can it be used in an apartment?

Manufacturers of smoke bombs, as a rule, note that the drug can be used outdoors and indoors. Sometimes in the instructions you can find a mention of the possibility of use in residential buildings. But specifically about apartments, they are usually silent, despite the fact that smoke bombs cannot be used in apartment buildings. Without going into the reasons that prompted manufacturers not to talk about such an important detail, let’s dwell on the essence of the question: why can’t you use a smoke bomb in an apartment? The answer consists of a combination of two reasons:

Any apartment is not a completely enclosed space. There will always be some cracks through which the gaseous substance will seep out, namely into the neighbors’ apartments.
The smoke emitted by a smoke bomb is a poison that can harm the health of people in other apartments, as well as their pets (cats, dogs, etc.).

Instructions and rules of use

Using checkers it is allowed to carry out disinfestation of the following objects:

apartments;
private houses and dachas;
hangars and warehouses;
industrial areas;
garages;
gardens and campsites;
greenhouses and greenhouses.

Sometimes a one-time treatment is enough to completely rid your home of blood-sucking parasites. However, to achieve a guaranteed result, it is recommended to repeat the procedure after 2 weeks, since the smoke only affects adult bedbugs and larvae, but not eggs.

Security measures

Disinfestation using smoke bombs should be carried out only with personal protective equipment. They are put on before the actual use of checkers, and are removed only after the treatment of the room is completed and it has been ventilated.

Ideally, if there is an opportunity to wear a full chemical protective suit. Otherwise, you will need a respirator, rubber gloves and safety glasses. Gloves should be discarded after processing is completed.

You should wear personal protective equipment when lighting a smoke bomb.

In extreme cases, instead of a full protective kit, it is permissible to use a gauze bandage soaked in a soda solution: dilute a teaspoon of soda in one glass of water and soak the gauze with this liquid.

Preparation for processing

All windows in the room are tightly closed and ventilation holes are sealed with tape. Food, hygiene items, electronics and clothing are carefully packaged in impenetrable casings to prevent them from becoming saturated with smoke. All cabinets and drawers are opened so that smoke can easily penetrate them. Furniture is disassembled and laid out in parts on the floor. Bedding is removed from the mattresses and placed vertically, leaning against the wall. Fire safety sensors are turned off. There should be no objects left in the room that will first come into contact with smoke and then come into direct contact with human skin.

Processing process

If the checker is inside a jar and is activated by contact with liquid, this jar is filled with water to the indicated mark.

If the checker has a fuse, it is set on fire. To do this, the product is placed on a sheet of metal, inside a metal bucket, in a ceramic container, or on a brick. The burning of the checker lasts 10–20 minutes

It is important that there are no flammable objects within its reach

After this, the room is left for several hours - the exact time is indicated in the instructions for use of the checker. A maximum of 2 minutes is allotted to leave the room - this is how long it takes for the wick to burn, after which toxic smoke will begin to enter the air.

What to do after treatment?

Upon completion of the treatment, a person in a protective suit enters the room, opens the windows and leaves the house to be ventilated for at least 20 minutes. After this, a thorough wet cleaning is carried out in the house, adding soda ash to the water at the rate of 250 g per 1 bucket. If the person who entered the room to open the windows did not have a full chemical protective suit, clothing should be removed and washed thoroughly.

Effectiveness of a smoke bomb: pros and cons of use

First, about the advantages:

The drug is guaranteed to destroy larvae and adult bedbugs.
Easy to use. It should be noted here that bedbugs do not build nests, but spread throughout the apartment. In addition, they are nocturnal and very cautious. Therefore, searching for their habitats, for example, for aerosol treatment, is very tedious. The smoke from the bomb spreads independently without your participation and penetrates into the most remote and inaccessible nooks, reaching the parasites there.
Cost is also important. The effect of smoke from a bomb is similar to a fine aerosol treatment with a cold fog generator, which is often used by representatives of pest control services. But unlike this service, a checker will cost an order of magnitude cheaper.
A smoke bomb is a remedy for more than just bedbugs. You will also get rid of other crawling and flying insects, and possibly mice, rats or other rodents if such a problem exists.

However, there are also disadvantages:

Drugs in this group are highly toxic and, if safety rules are not followed, can cause intoxication of the body.
Does not affect bedbug eggs. In order to completely get rid of parasites, it is necessary to re-treat after 2 weeks. During this time, larvae will emerge from the eggs, which will die during the next treatment. However, during this period they will not have time to become sexually mature individuals and lay new eggs.
The disadvantages include the abundance of counterfeit drugs on the market, which, at best, are simply useless, but can also cause harm to health or property. To avoid becoming a victim of scammers, purchase only certified products from reliable sellers.

The principle of operation of smoke bombs is effective in the fight against any insects, and especially against bedbugs, which are not at all easy to get rid of. But it is still more expedient to talk about the effectiveness of specific brands of products, since they differ in the composition of the active substance, and therefore give different results.

Why is a smoke bomb for home use to kill insects popular? After all, you can avoid all these organizational hassles by using an aerosol, gel, or even a classic dust. The drugs are just as effective and less toxic. So why bother figuring out how to use a sulfur bomb if you can solve the problem easier?

In fact, treating a room with aerosol and smoke are far from the same things. In the first case, there is always a possibility that hard-to-reach places will not be disinfected. The fumes released by a smoke bomb from a bark beetle in the house penetrate everywhere - into the smallest cracks, areas behind furniture, behind baseboards - and no additional effort is required from you. That is why they readily resort to such a remedy in the fight against bedbugs and cockroaches. The sulfur bomb Fas from mice is also very popular. The composition of this drug allows you to quickly get rid of rodents in your apartment. When choosing a product in a store, pay attention to its “target audience”. Mold control and pest control don't always go together.

Reading reviews about a smoke bomb for fleas in the house, you can often see enthusiasm about the highest effectiveness of this product. Some even claim that he was able to remove the parasites in one go. In fact, treating the basement with a sulfur bomb cannot affect pest eggs. The process needs to be repeated at least after a couple of weeks. If a “miraculous” instant relief happened, it means that the local insects had already been poisoned with insecticides or they simply did not have time to settle in the new place. This fact does not make smoke bombs for fleas in the basement any less effective. There is simply no need to endow them with properties that they do not possess.

Now, a little about what sulfur bombs for greenhouses are. Harm and benefit are factors that should always be taken into account. First, about the cons. Such an anti-mold checker sometimes fails to cope with deep-rooted microorganisms. Many old spores can remain in the soil and plants, continuing their harmful work. In addition, prolonged exposure to smoke can cause metal structures to oxidize. Otherwise, a sulfur bomb for a greenhouse gives only advantages. The main thing is that there is practically no alternative to this product when caring for open areas and large utility rooms

What is the product: description

An insect smoke bomb is a tightly compressed cylinder with a wick. This remedy seems non-standard, since few people use it. Hearing about smoke bombs against insects, many people first of all remember the fight against mosquitoes and midges while relaxing or fishing.

Smoke bombs are also an effective preparation for killing insects in the house. Of course, provided precautions are taken, they will not be hazardous to health. Smoke bomb combustion products represent hazard class 2, so the rules must be followed when using them.

Composition of smoke bombs

The composition of these devices most often includes the following chemical components:

Sulfur compounds - when burned, they turn into anhydride, a chemical for disinfection and destruction of pests;
Hexachlorane is a chemical substance that paralyzes the nervous system and negatively affects the gastrointestinal tract of insects. It is often used for baiting not only domestic but also garden parasites (caterpillars, locusts and others);
Didecyldimethylammonium bromide - consists of various bacteria, is actively used in agriculture.

How do checkers against cockroaches work?

The main feature of checkers, which distinguishes them from dusts, gels, aerosols and traps, is the quick and reliable destruction of the entire population of parasites. You don't have to wait weeks for a cockroach to run across a powdered surface or eat a poisonous bait. Poisonous smoke acts immediately - its work does not depend on where exactly the insects are hiding during this procedure.

15 best ways to get rid of cockroaches at home

A smoke bomb is effective against all insects, since its poisonous vapors can penetrate into the smallest crevices

How does the insecticide get into the body of cockroaches? The smoke bomb has a prolonged effect (contact, intestinal and fumigation). First, its active substances penetrate the respiratory tract and seep through the chitinous membranes. The enhanced effect of the device leads to paralysis of the nervous system and causes inevitable death of insects. Those who manage to survive after a massive attack will pick up the poison from the floor, furniture or walls. Already at the first attempt to clean its mustache, the cockroach will swallow the poison and die at the same moment. As for the effect, it lasts for a month.

Checkers can be used in:

hangars, basements and garages;
at the dachas;
in apartments and private properties;
in economic and industrial buildings;
in open areas.

Models of checkers differ in composition, range, size and concentration. So, for residential premises it is better to buy less concentrated analogues, while more powerful models are suitable for treating open areas and industrial buildings.

Advice! When removing cockroaches using a smoke bomb, insects can migrate to neighboring apartments, so do not forget to block all possible escape routes in advance. To prevent smoke from escaping through the ventilation, seal it with masking tape.

Storage and use of smoke bombs

It is recommended to store the checker in plastic bags (to protect it from moisture) for no more than 1 month. Wash your hands thoroughly and remove saltpeter from all objects and surfaces.

When using a checker, take precautions. Remember that smoke is dangerous if inhaled for long periods of time and can cause a fire. Therefore, under no circumstances set fire to a checker in a closed space or room.

This method of making a smoke bomb has been known for a very long time and is intended for use only for entertainment purposes.

Remember that you are responsible for any illegal actions associated with the use of this pyrotechnic product, including for causing harm to health through the manufactured product.

Let's look at the main mistakes

Beginners are often not satisfied with the smoking result. This is because they make a number of common mistakes:

Incorrect salting. To prevent food from spoiling, they must be thoroughly salted. For high-quality salting, take 2-3% salt for every kilogram of meat or fish. It is better to take nitrite salt or a mixture of nitrite and table salt. This way, moisture is better removed from the products.
Pre-drying. Salted meat contains a lot of moisture, so it should be dried before placing it in the smokehouse. Prolonged drying will result in a dry product. It is enough to keep the meat ventilated for 6-10 hours.
Using the wrong wood chips. Using wet fuel will result in a bitter taste in smoked meats. The same effect is possible if the smoke generator operates too intensively, so its performance must be monitored.

Considering these simple tips, everyone will be able to prepare stunning masterpieces that will delight even demanding gourmets with their taste, and the cost will be several times cheaper than store-bought dishes.

Preliminary preparation

The components and tools for making the device can be found in the kitchen; the only thing you have to purchase is potassium nitrate. Fertilizer is offered in stores for gardeners and gardeners; there will be no problems with the purchase.

To make a smoke fume you will need:

50 gr. potassium nitrate;
10 gr. sodium bicarbonate;
50 gr. sugar (allowed to replace with powdered sugar);
55-65 gr. dye (available from hardware stores);
a small diameter cardboard tube (suitable for toilet paper), a matchbox;
pencil;
stewpan (saucepan);
a little tape;
cotton swabs;
fuse (carefully remove from the fireworks, soak a regular cord with saltpeter, use hunting matches).

To mix the composition, use a wooden stick or spoon.

What composition is used? Can you cook it yourself?

So, we looked at how dry fog car cleaning works, as well as how to use the equipment. Now, let's discuss popular formulations:

Product line from Harvard Chemical Research;
Kits from ProRestore Products;

Branded liquids from these manufacturers are considered the best on the market and have patents for the production of deodorizing compositions. Therefore, safe and effective.

You can also prepare the product yourself (at your own risk, of course). You will need:

Distilled water – 1 l;
Medical glycerin PK-94 – 180 ml;
Baking soda on the tip of a knife (to make the smoke heavy);
Medical alcohol (for better dispersion) – 50 ml;
Flavors (you can take products for electronic cigarettes) – 50 ml.

Everything is mixed and poured into the fogger. According to reviews, the smoke is not as thick as from the branded liquid, and the smell is not as persistent. But, in general, the method works.

How to make a smoke bomb from flour?

A smoke bomb made from flour has a long smoldering period and the availability of the necessary components.

You need to take:

flour or sawdust - 4 parts;
sulfur – 1 part;
ammonium nitrate – 5 parts.

Grind sulfur and saltpeter in a mortar until a light yellow powder forms. Ammonium nitrate should be dried in the oven on the lowest heat for 20-30 minutes. It is impossible to leave saltpeter unattended, so as not to start melting. Grind dry saltpeter.

Add flour to the mixture of two components and mix thoroughly.

The housing for the smoke bomb is made of thick cardboard. To do this, roll up a cylinder ø3-4 cm from several layers of cardboard, and cover the end with plaster. You can use ready-made cylinders from firecrackers or fireworks.

The powder mixture is poured into the body in small portions. Compact very tightly using a hammer and a rod. Tight pressing ensures long-term smoldering with smoke release. Several circles are cut out of the same cardboard as the body and the tube is tightly closed.

A hole is made in the middle for the wick by piercing or drilling 3 cm through the cardboard and the mixture. A wooden tube or rod is used as a wick. The wick is fixed with several layers of electrical tape.

The smoke bomb is ready for use. Ammonium nitrate is highly hygroscopic and quickly becomes damp. Therefore, the mixture or the finished checker cannot be stored for a long time.

Benefits of smoky liquid

Natural flavoring has 3 undeniable advantages over conventional smoking.

Dishes with liquid smoke cook faster. Hot smoking of meat and fish takes an average of 2 hours, cold smoking – more than a day. The same piece of pork, marinated in a sauce with added flavoring, will acquire a familiar taste in 1-1.5 hours.
The product saves money, time and effort. Preparing food for smoking, purchasing and arranging a smokehouse, lighting it, and the cooking process itself will take several times more resources than baking meat in the oven.
Oddly enough, natural flavoring makes food healthier. When we cook meat and fish on coals, in addition to the aromas of wood, the food absorbs dangerous carcinogens. Most of these impurities are filtered out of the additive during production.

How to make a smoke bomb from soap at home?

Making such a smoke bomb at home is not at all difficult.

For this you will need:

Laundry soap 72%.
Sheets of paper or old newspapers.
Scotch tape or plastic film.
Container with water.

Laundry soap should be cut or grated on a coarse grater. Pour into a container of water and heat until the soap is completely dissolved. Or add hot water and stir until dissolved.

The solution should be concentrated, use a little water, but enough to saturate all sheets of paper. For 1 piece of soap you will need 5 liters of water. Completely immerse the paper in the soap solution for impregnation.

The paper should not get wet. The sheets are kept whole because there is more air in a torn sheet, therefore there will be more fire, but less smoke

The paper is carefully removed and dried. Use a fan to speed up the drying process

Dry sheets are rolled into a tight roll, or crumpled and formed into a ball. Wrap tightly with tape or polyethylene. String on a wooden rod. “Smoke” is ready.

Tip: to get a thick paper roll, you need to twist the first sheet in half and put the next one in it. Continue rolling and insert another sheet. So insert all the sheets.

Set the checker on fire and wait until the flame engulfs most of the paper. Active combustion indicates that there is little soap in the solution or poor impregnation. The fire is quickly extinguished. The device begins to smoke heavily.

Newspaper smoke is made from paper soaked in soapy water. After impregnation, the newspaper is dried. Then it is crumpled and wrapped with tape to form a roller. They set fire and wait until the third part burns out. The fire is extinguished and left to smolder.

The smoke from the soap bar is not toxic.

The downside is that it produces only a small amount of smoke.

Production of liquid smoke

The technology for industrial production of liquid smoke is complex and involves several stages of filtration. It is designed to remove unwanted resins and other harmful substances.

The flavoring is produced according to the following algorithm:

Wood chips are loaded into a special installation;
raw materials are subject to combustion;
the resulting smoke enters a container under pressure, where tar and tar are filtered out;
repeated filtration and determination of the presence of benzopyrene;
packaging and sealing of liquid smoke.

Depending on the technology and the amount of water used in production, the release form of the flavor may differ. The most popular is liquid, but spray is more convenient to use.

Liquid smoke "Kostrovok"

The additive from this company is available in liquid form. It is created by generating smoke and dissolving it in water. “Kostrovka” contains one component – an aqueous solution of natural wood smoke. The flavoring can be used for meat, fish and lard. Delicious dishes prepared with this additive have an aroma and taste close to natural.

Smoke bomb made from laundry soap, sodium bicarbonate

An easier way to make a smoke bomb is to use sodium bicarbonate and laundry soap. The disadvantage of a smoke blower is that you cannot use dyes; the device will only produce gray puffs of smoke.

Step-by-step process for making a smoke bomb:

Grate a bar of laundry soap, use a fine grater or chop it into a paste with a sharp knife.
Add warm water in small portions and stir the soap grains until completely dissolved.
Combine thick soap mass, sodium bicarbonate (20 g), mix.
Wait half an hour and soak newspaper sheets with the mixture.
Dry the paper in the sun, in a dry, hot room; the sheets must remain intact, otherwise the penetration of oxygen into the smoke oven will affect the amount of smoke.
Roll the newspaper sheets into a tight roll, the diameter of the device is 5-10 cm.
Secure the rolls with thin plastic wrap (it is recommended to use cling film).
Leave room for a wooden rod to hold the smoke bomb.

Using a smoke blower is simple - use a lighter to set fire to newspaper sheets soaked in soapy water through a hole left near the rod.

Be sure to be careful and keep the smoke bomb at arm's length. After the first puffs of smoke appear, stick the rod into the ground and move away

Manufacturing instructions

If you strictly follow the instructions, the procedure for making a smoke generator for a car will not cause problems. In general, there are quite a lot of designs and circuits for such devices, but we suggest familiarizing yourself with the production of a generator set from a syringe and solid lubricant.

To do this you will need:

the syringe itself;
glow plug, these are used on diesel engines;
wiring with terminals, required for connecting spark plugs;
heat shrink paste;
pipes with clamps, as well as rubberized sealing gaskets;
copper tube, its diameter should be approximately 6 mm;
drill and set of drills;
air flow fitting;
You will also need a metal mesh for washing dishes (the author of the video review of a simple homemade smoke generator is the ZP GARIK channel).

How can you make a smoke generator for a car from such materials:

First of all, it is necessary to disassemble the syringe, remove the blower hose, as well as the pumping device. For further work, you will need a syringe housing; it is in it that the process of smoke formation will take place, which will subsequently be used for diagnostics. In addition, there is a special hole in the lid that is required for normal operation. It is necessary to install a piece of copper pipe into this hole; its length should be about 16 cm. For better fixation of the tube, it is better to treat the joint with epoxy resin.
A copper hose will force a compressed air stream into the oil, usually transmission fluid is used for this. Oil is used to generate smoke and then push it out of the housing. The hose is installed all the way, this will block the air flow.
Next, you will need to drill the copper pipe through the inlet hole. This will allow the air flow to be directed in a specific direction, in particular, into the housing of the generator unit.
When these steps are completed, it will be necessary to install a fitting into the second hole through which air will escape. Securely secure this item to prevent possible future leakage.
Now we move on to the next stage - the manufacture of the electrical component of the system. To do this, you will need to install a glow plug from a diesel engine in the bottom cover of the device, and use gaskets for better sealing. Also, the spark plug should be tightened as much as possible, otherwise transmission oil may leak. When the spark plug is installed and fixed, you need to connect a wire with quick-release alligator clips to it.
Next, a special adapter for the smoke supply pipe should be installed in the hole through which the oil will flow. In this case, it is best to use transparent pipes; this will allow the car owner to control the air flow to the unit or system being diagnosed. You need to install a tip at the end of the nozzle; for this you can use the part that was built into the syringe, but before that you will need to remove the check valve ball from it. You also need to provide the ability to adjust the air flow, but here you need to rely on what kind of air source will be used. In addition, a check valve should also be installed in the supply line.
Actually, at this point the device assembly procedure can be considered complete, the system is now ready for operation. Next, you will need to fill the working fluid, that is, oil, into the reservoir; its volume should be slightly higher than the glow plug. After a few minutes, you will be able to see the smoke formed in the outlet pipe. The pressure level of the incoming air can be about 0.5-1 bar, but this parameter should be selected more accurately by experimental method. If you have a compressor, then use it; if not, then in principle you can use other options, for example, a spare tire of a car or a pumping device for inflating water mattresses.
When the manufacturing steps are completed, all you have to do is check the functionality of the system.

Smoke from the line

It is noteworthy that a smoke maker from a ruler can be made not only from school supplies. Smoky plastic is used to make picks or ping pong balls. So, we need, suppose, one pick, a matchbox and one match.

Cut the pick into small, small pieces.
Place them in a matchbox, laying them in one direction.
After filling the box, leave it slightly open.
Make a wick from a long piece of plastic by inserting it into the hole so that it comes into contact with the flammable material.
Light a match, light the fuse and run. The smoke will be very acrid and dangerous, at best you will end up with coughing and tears. The smoke will be dense and dense, and if not for its toxicity, then this method would have all the advantages.

How to make a smoke bomb out of paper

Method 1

You can make a “smoke pipe” yourself in the following simple way.

For this you will need:

Ammonium nitrate from the fertilizer store.
Thick newspapers.

Dissolve saltpeter in warm water. Take the ingredients based on 1 liter of water - 300 g of saltpeter. Cut newspapers into pieces similar in size to A4 format and immerse in the solution for several minutes. Remove and dry well.

The peculiarity of the chemical is that it absorbs moisture from the air and therefore the leaves do not dry well. To achieve complete drying, use auxiliary means, such as a radiator, iron or hair dryer.

You can also wet newspapers using a spray bottle. Dry leaves should be rolled into a tight tube and secured with tape or thick thread. The tube should not have a hole in the center.

It is not advisable to make the checker long or thick, because the saltpeter will burn unevenly. If a whole sheet of newspaper is used, it is folded along its length twice and then rolled.

A large checker, rolled from several newspapers. placed in an aluminum beer can, cut off at both ends. This is done to avoid the checker catching fire. The length of the body is cut with an allowance of 1-2 cm on each side, relative to the roll. The edge needs to be folded.

For the body, empty cans of paint or deodorant are used. The thickness of the winding is adjusted according to the opening of the can so that it fits tightly. The finished saber is set on fire at one end, waiting until it flares up and puffs of smoke emerge. Throw to the side as far as possible. Thick, white smoke is produced.

Store ready-made saltpeter-impregnated sheets in glass jars, closed with lids or sealed plastic bags with a zipper.

Method 2

It's very easy to make a smoke bomb out of paper and salt.

Required:

Newsprint.
Fine salt.
Scotch.

Form a tight ball from the paper. Tear the paper in one place and add salt. Wrap everything tightly with adhesive tape. Ready to use. It is not advisable to use coarse salt, because it shoots out when heated.

In this article I will tell you how to prepare smoke liquid yourself using ordinary distilled water and medical glycerin. There are times when a branded liquid is not at hand, but smoke is needed right now, and other cases when the owner of a bug club wants to save money on smoke liquid by driving a new Bentley. Well, let's step back from the lyrical part and get down to business.

The best brand of glycerin for a smoke machine is PK-94 . This is pure glycerin, highly soluble in water. Other brands D-98, T-88 and others used in confectionery products were also tested. PK-94 is the best for smoking.

Smoke bomb safety

Working with chemicals requires mandatory safety precautions. Otherwise, with ordinary insect baiting, people get poisoned if they do not use a respirator.

When producing a smoke screen yourself, one must not forget about precautions when making and using a smoke bomb.

Safety when making a smoke bomb

Unnecessary clothing should be worn. After the work has been done, the clothes are not suitable for use.
The smoke bomb components should not be held close to the face.
Buy safety glasses.
Rubber gloves are a must. Even when producing smoke smoke from salt.
Respirator.
The production procedure is carried out outdoors, in an empty room.
Making an ammonia smoke blower is life-threatening; the bomb is used immediately after creation.

Safety when using a smoke bomb

The smoke bomb should be used outdoors, in a sparsely populated place.
To safely light a checker, it is advisable to use an electric or gas lighter with a handle.
During operation, the checker can catch fire and rush in different directions. Maintaining distance is necessary.
If a fire does occur, use a fire extinguisher and an unnecessary old cloth.

The enthusiasm for producing a smoke screen at home is no small. In the case of ammonia smoke, it is better not to get carried away, but to carefully calculate the proportions.

Note!
It is worth using a checker with the best intentions. Damage caused by a smoke curtain is possible on a large scale. You should be careful about exterminating insects on the site and do not forget about safety measures.

Good afternoon. Is a steam disinfector suitable as a portable fog machine? Need some smoke for photo shoots. Thank you

How much liquid is enough for 50 ml of flavoring?

I have 7 big cars. I made over 100 liters using your recipe and it works really well! Thanks guys!

So I don’t see the point in overpaying, there’s no difference.

How to avoid oil stains when disinfecting large buildings? Glycerin settles and then you need to wash it off.
