fog machines

Artificial cloud generators

Fog machines are devices that produce artificial fog or haze, typically by heating a glycol-based fluid until it vaporizes into dense white clouds.

Standard equipment at concerts, theatrical productions, and haunted houses, they create atmosphere and make light beams visible: The fog machine gave the stage an eerie glow.

Smaller versions appear at Halloween parties and DJ setups.
