How to remove fog, created with a smoke machine (Glycol and water)

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the question of how to effectively remove fog produced by a smoke machine, which generates fog from heating glycol and distilled water at high temperatures. The scope includes practical solutions and considerations regarding safety and effectiveness.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the possibility of removing fog created by a smoke machine.
  • Another participant suggests that simply turning off the machine may help, although this is met with skepticism.
  • A different participant asserts that turning off the machine does not eliminate the fog, referencing common experiences in environments like discos.
  • Ventilation is proposed as a potential solution, but caution is advised against introducing any solids or gases into the air due to possible regulatory issues.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the effectiveness of turning off the machine, and multiple views on potential solutions, such as ventilation, are presented without resolution.

Hey.

I really want to know if it is possible in some way, to remove the fog created by a smoke machine.

The fog is created from heating up glycol and destilled water at 300 degree C

Perhaps switching off the machine?
 
After thorough studies, the fog does not disappear just because you turn off the machine.
Never been to a disco?
 
OK, that was just a quick guess. Perhaps you could try using some sort of ventilation. I wouldn't recommend adding any solid or gas into the air, otherwise you may have problems with authorities.
