Pyrotechnics - explosions, flashes, smoke See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge From Stephen Mayotte, smayotte@mmsl.com: I built a gadget that does this last year. It's called a "puff box". There's really nothing to it. Start with a good sized cardboard box-- say 2' by 2' by 2' for example. Remove 1 side of the box and replace it with some sort of flexible membrane. I used 4 mil poly sheeting. Some sort of rubber would be much better. On the side opposite the membrane, cut a round hole in the middle. Experiment with the size. I made mine 4" because I needed to charge the box with a F-100 smoke machine. The hole for a Rosco fogger would be smaller. Anyway, fill the box with smoke. Whack the membrane and ta-dah! It's really easy. Everyone who sees it figures you must be a genius. You can make a small flap to cover the hole. That way, you can fill the box up and not lose your smoke right away. You should be able to get at least 1/2 dozen good rings before needing to refill.
