[TCML] Dry Ice

[bunnykiller]

Hey Mike,

you have a point there, during one of my holloween escapades, I ran the 
output of the fogger machine thru a modified icechest holding dry ice. 
basically I drilled 2  4" holes thru the chest lengthwise, put hardware 
wire along the holes to suspende the dry ice, the fog would travel 
through the "wire mesh tube"  picking up the colder air plus the dry ice 
"fog", the combination of the fogger and the dry ice made a ground 
hugging effect. Having this combination above a coil during operation 
would probably create some very interesting visual aspects. Im 
suspecting a near waterfall effect as the fog rolls off of the topload...
