smoke machines

Theatrical mist makers

Smoke machines are devices that produce artificial fog or haze, typically by heating a glycol-based fluid until it vaporizes.

Standard equipment at concerts, theatrical productions, and haunted houses, they create atmospheric effects that make lighting visible and add drama to a scene: The smoke machines kicked in as the band took the stage.
