Presented here design is a home made smoke generator.
List of elements:
- 500W stove
- two 150W stoves
- tank
- pump from the washers
- driver
- thermocouple
One of the main assumptions of this project was to create a cheap useful machine for generating smoke. Inside the stove there is a spiral made of copper pipe fi5 flooded with aluminum and pressed into the heaters. The driver was removed from an injection molding machine and it was there to regulate the temperature of the heaters that warm up the sleeve for making PET bottles. Its temperature range is from 1 to 999 degrees Celsius.
In this design it was set to 200 degrees Celsius and its tolerance is 20 degrees – if the temperature drops to 180 degrees Celsius, the pump is disconnected.
The stoves heat up within about 5 minutes to 200 degrees Celsius and then when the temperature drops to 180 degrees, they heat up within about 30-50 seconds.
The pump is powered from 5V what decreases the speed of pumping the fluid.
