[SML] Low Lying Foggers

[mouse at fieldmousepro.com]

Out of curiosity, what aspects of Dry Ice foggers do you not like? They 
have some advantages like simplicity and low cost that you might want to 
consider. Plus, the thickness and volume of fog that they output is 
tough to beat.

I've used a LeMaitre LSG unit with a G300 & a large dewar of 
low-pressure CO2. Its output was about equivalent to one 55-gallon drum 
style dry ice fogger. For a roughly 30x50 foot area, the LSG covered it 
medium-thick with fog. For comparison, shows done on the same stage but 
with (2) 55-gallon dry-ice foggers (one on each side of the stage), the 
area was covered in thick fog for about 2 minutes, then slowly tapered 
off to about the 4-minute mark.

The *really* neat low foggers are liquid nitrogen powered, but I haven't 
seen those used outside of Vegas and theme parks. They can really put 
out some massive amounts of fog.

Like any low foggers, the area of thickest output only extends so far 
beyond the unit. If possible, having some 6" or larger ducting to 
several places across your coverage area will give you a more consistent 
look.
