Re: [TCML] Dry Ice

[Scott Bogard <teslas-intern@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bart,
     I've never heard of anyone trying this before, and there is a 
slight concern with spillage.  You might want to consider using one of 
those fog machines, I bought one around Halloween time a few years ago 
for like $25, you could mount a tube on the output and route it up 
through the secondary if you wish. If this does not suit your design, 
perhaps you could put a battery shorted with nichrome wire in the fog 
fluid, this may make it fog (but please note, I have not tried it, 
perhaps I will this weekend).  Or you could just use dry ice like you 
said, I'd imagine it would effect the color of the streamers some.  If 
you get it to work, send us a picture.
