The amount of comments that didn't realize this is a video showing you how to make a chiller for ground fog is amazing....lol. He is demonstrating how to create ground fog with your existing fog machine. A normal fog machines produces fog that rises and fills a room. If you want the special effect of fog staying on the floor, a chiller cooling down the fog helps (As well as certain fog juices).
Several people asking about small fog machines or they are not getting similar results. On a lower wattage fogger, they probably dont have enough muscle to push the fog through this. You can try putting a pvc "Y" connector on the inlet side. Hook a fan to the straight through leg of the pvc and position the fogger to shoot into the "Y" leg. This will have a venturi effect. 3" or 4" pvc works good. Others saying they have 1000w machines.....dont connect or tape the duct work to the end of the machine....allow a few inches between the nozzle and the duct.....this also will create a venturi effect and draw air into duct with fog.
you're so spontaneously funny!!! i really love how you explain yourself and talk to the camera, it feels so comfortable. kinda like a dad explaining something to you instead of just someone on youtube. you have a new subscriber :)
Ok that was actually pretty neat. I now want to hide several of this setup around my property and fire them up on a cool winter evening to freak out my neighbors.
@@colorgrower because there is fog rolling on the grounds on his property? Seems a bit extreme don’t you think? Or are you one of those Karen’s that would call the police and fire department BECAUSE there is fog rolling around on the grounds on somebody’s property?
I bought a fog machine that has three settings. 30 seconds on 20 seconds off, 60 seconds on 30 off, and 90 on 40 off. The remote also just has a on/off if you need it. I am going to try this.
In half an hour or so there’s going to be a large puddle on your floor. Maybe no one will notice with all that fog, but the splashing might give it away.
Thanks so much for sharing. I learnt how to make something cool (no pun intended) and you made me laugh. What more could you ask for eh! 🙂 👍 All the best from the UK.
You don't need the trashcan or any of the other crap, Just the fog machine. I work with them every day. They cost between 2000 and 4000 dollars and use a water based fluid heated to 900 degrees and expelled by a small pump.
Dan - if you want to avoid the mess of melting ice cubes, forget the trash can and the cardboard box, and just fill the pipe with freezer blocks. I've been doing this to chill fog for years and it works a treat - with no mess (and you can use the blocks over and over of course) :)
I maybe I said this before can't recall. Ghosts of Halloween desigined this many years ago using rigid aluminum drier duct. It gets colder and uses less ice. CountZero on a forum used a cut down lawn & leaf bag on th eooutlet instead of a box. You really shouldn't tape the duct to the fogger. It needs air.
Sir.. Your intro alone made me subscribe. The coffee and the trash can.. Too real, lol. Now back to the video. Ok.. After watching this.. First of all, that's genius. Secondly, I may try putting the holes higher so that when the ice melts it won't leek out. And I'm sure the reason for having a 16' tube rather than just an 8' one is that the longer the fog has to travel through the freezing tube, the better the result. Again.. Great stuff. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for posting.
@@johnmiley8453 a rando fog machine only blows out fog all over the place. More like smoke. This method is a tutorial on how to get GROUND FOG. It teaches you that the fog must be cold in order to make that happen. But yeah, if you won't ever want this different effect this video wasn't for you. I do that a lot.
great intro, coffee cup in one hand and rubbish bin in the other ... looks like my normal start to the day 😀 thank you this video, this is my first Halloween getting into the spooky yard decorations - it's never been a "thing" here in Australia until the last few years. Can I ask the wattage of the machine you did the demo with please? I only have a 400W el cheapo machine - will it's lil' motor be strong enough for this effect? Thanks 🦘🐨🙂
Adding rock salt to the ice makes it much colder. As low as -5 F. Which in turn will chill your fog more, make it much denser and cause it to hug the floor or ground much better and longer.
And it leaked water all over the floor, from out of those 4" holes, correct? Maybe cut the holes higher up on the trash can, so that the melted ice stays in the trash can if you are indoors and you can dump it out later. Just a thought.
The original designers are Ghosts of Halloween in 2001. Their trash can chiller won in the 2004 HauntCon Chill-off competition. They used semi-rigid aluminum dryer duct which chills the ice better with less ice. The box isn't a good idea it collects too much fog inside of it. A lawn & leaf bag (credit to Count Zero) on the outlet works better or nothing at all. Entertaining video though!
I tell you why it's not really working. Instead of water ice, you need dry ice (CO2), and the liquid into the fog machine needs a upgrade. Pour more Glycerol and Propylenglycol, this makes the fog denser and it last longer, your fog made of 60% distilled water is dissapearing within seconds which means that you can't cover your floor with the fog.
Why not put the holes in the lid of the bin? You will have a longer exit hose, but it should not warm up enough in that short run to make a difference and you'll not have water leaking out everywhere.
You'll loose a lot of momentum of the fog that way, and thus the fog gets more time to warm up again! The more the hose is in contact with the ice the better. Just make sure the holes in the side of the bin are just above the ice level. In that way the smoke does not need to travel up and down as much and the melt water can not escape thru those holes. tip: make a smaller hole right at the bottem of the the bin and put a garden hose tap in it to let the melt water out when you're done.... you can buy these in any DIY shop. (and use a smaller/lower bin than he used, lol)

Scott Yunes Don’t tape the tube to the machine. you’ll want to get air mixed in there and it will let the fog travel faster and farther. You may also find you don’t want the box as it may make the fog lose its momentum

My first attempt also with this setup. I also have a small 400w machine, it works and does the job well enough 👍
I'm just over in OG and it shows it's a glass company now
SO.. is this a home made fog machine that needs a fog machine to make it work?
Did some thing like that w/a small cooler,fogger is ducted in one end,a rack that hold's dry ice toward the top, blows chilled fog out the other end.
Add a tap on bottom of the can to drain water as needed.
Try adding some rock salt on the ice and see how cold it gets and how thick that fog gets.
That’s a super good idea!
Hey Mike, what does rock salt do for the fog? working on making a chiller later this week.
Adding rock salt to the ice makes it much colder. As low as -5 F. Which in turn will chill your fog more, make it much denser and cause it to hug the floor or ground much better and longer.

The higher up the holes. The more ice you need. The dryer vent hose needs to be covered by the ice.
You could just use bags of frozen water or whatev. Doesn't need to be 'loose' ice.
@@djdjerojr Good call.
I save plastic bottles like milk jugs, 2ltr bottles, and ice packs. I swap them out every couple of hours depending on the weather.

When that ice starts melting, isn’t it going to leak out the hole you cut in the garbage can and leak all over the place?
Can you make a Walmart version? If I could afford the big fog machine, I wouldn't be searching for fog machine diy videos 😂

Use a cheap styrofoam ice chest.
I wish they still made the micro image later it’s so cool but they only make the micro sky
i want to see this with 50/50 pg vg and using dryice instead of ice cubes

The thumbnail looked like a breaking news story
Mine goes to the ground but doesn’t stay there. It eventually rises and I’m using low laying fog juice and ice water bottles
That's because your fog isnt chilling as its passing through. There's a valid reason to use ICE and not frozen water bottles.....
You're a life saver.
Jk great video I'm gonna do the same thing at my party..thanks for the info.
Add a space between the fogger and the tube about 2 fingers and sooooooooooooo much more fog will come out, try and you will see
