If you’re looking to create a spooky atmosphere for Halloween, or simply want to add some extra flair to a party or event, a fog chiller can be a great addition.
A fog chiller is a device that cools fog produced by a fog machine, causing it to sink to the ground and creating a low-lying fog effect. In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps of how to make a fog chiller.
Materials Needed
Before you get started, you’ll need a few materials and tools. These include:
- A large plastic container or cooler
- PVC pipe and fittings
- Ice or dry ice
- A fog machine
- Duct tape
- A drill
- A saw
- A marker
Research and Planning
Before you start building your fog chiller, it’s important to do some research and planning. Look at the top results and compare different methods and designs.
Consider your specific needs and the event or setting where you’ll be using the fog chiller. Once you’ve chosen the best option for you, it’s time to get started.
Building the Chiller
- Take your plastic container or cooler and drill a hole in the lid that’s the same size as your PVC pipe.
- Cut a length of PVC pipe that’s long enough to reach from the fog machine to the bottom of the container or cooler.
- Insert the PVC pipe through the hole in the lid and secure it with duct tape.
- Cut another length of PVC pipe that’s long enough to reach from the top of the container or cooler to the ground.
- Attach a PVC elbow fitting to the end of the pipe.
- Fill the container or cooler with ice or dry ice.
- Place the fog machine on top of the container or cooler.
- Turn on the fog machine and let the fog flow through the PVC pipe and into the container or cooler.
- The cold air from the ice will cool the fog, causing it to sink to the ground and create a low-lying fog effect.
Using the Chiller
Once you’ve built your fog chiller, it’s time to start using it. Set it up in the desired location and turn on the fog machine.
Be sure to follow all safety precautions, such as keeping the fog machine away from any flammable materials.
You can experiment with different amounts of ice or dry ice to achieve the desired effect.
