school project

RyanCheetham · Mar 18, 2013

Right guys im after some guidance on creating smoke from a volcano for my girlfriends younger sisters school project. I have suggested a smoke pellet but it may be too smokey, i then suggest bicarb and vinegar but this may be too messy. I was asked for a cheap electrical solution but i could not think of one so i hoped for help here. Battery power is preffered however mains is allowed as it will be under supervision. Any ideas out there?

Kettle element with thermostat cutout disabled, submerged in pan of jam.
Hey presto "real" boiling lava flying out the top. It burns like it's really real !!

You could buy a cheapish smoke machine, tape an extractor type hose to the end nozzle and follow it up into the volcano? i've seen one for about £30... Or hire a small one from a sound and lighting company?
