Friends, as i need a good smoke generator for my new craft, paddler ARAYANNAM, (THE SWAN), there was no way but to make one myself..so i lost many days of rest and sleep, and ultimately i made it...a simple but too effective smoke generator cum, puffer...

[rathikrishna]

and i cant post pictures now as my internet cafe is not supporting connection speed..so watch video here...   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dx_5WTxv24

[rathikrishna]

i tried it with a pump made out of a PVC pipe at first..

[rathikrishna]

but it as some heavy and took more space as its cross member and crank need more space and a tourquey mechanism...so i turned to this simple device...

[rathikrishna]

its made out of a simple bellows from a baby bicycle horn, and it works nice...

[rathikrishna]

driven by a toy doll gear box, ith a speed controller from a hand drill works too nice...

[rathikrishna]

basically the smoke is generated by a inscense stick, and last for almost 20 minutes.as the bellow performs the smoke is also puffed..chookk..chookk...

[rathikrishna]

so any suggestions and advices to improve its performance is welcomed...kindly...

[rathikrishna]

Thank you Marty..its so easy to make one...but here in my model smoke is puffed, so i can add some realism to paddler craft...hope..but thanks for the great link...

if you used your bellows in place of the fan on the oil smoker you would get the same effect.

rathikrishna, I watched your video. It is very good, well done.

I just love your smoke unit with bellows, it sounds quite realistic, like one of the old diesel engines. The incense sticks will give some pleasant smells on the pond

[rathikrishna]
