Hello, Not sure if anyone will know this one, but I'm looking for the ones that make the "rolling fog" that stays on the ground, and does not lift up into the air unless walked through etc. Anyone have no info on this, thanks

Link, info help, any info you got thanks

Thanks for your time in replying to this thread. GG night

That type of fog is produced by dumping dry ice into very hot water. Generally they are "home made" machines, although I believe ome stage companys have made some.
As a technician for Nocturne Productions in the 80's, I designed and built a few that were out with U-2 and Michael Jackson.

The concept is simple, pour hot water over dry ice, fog gets pushed out of a tube. The key to great fog is speed, spread and lighting. Pushing the fog out too fast may be distracting so having a speed control on the fan is important. Having a gate so that instant on can be achieved is good. A heating element and a drain are all that is really necessary. A squirrel cage fan , and a basket to hold the dry ice inside a drum of some size and off we go.
