Maybe I can add a few tips. A friend and I have been try to put up a 100% home made smoke generator. We ended with somthing looking very much as don's great job exeption made of the independent speed controler wich is a marvelous inproovement.
Still what might be usefull to some of you; We have used a smal coil spring pensil type as a resistor, it's aplyed on a small lair of heat insolating fiber glass. using a 7.4 v 1500 mA NIMH battery. Our smoke oil is simply lamp petrol, wich gives great smoke and is very cheap. For those who try it you will find it can produce a great amount of smoke with very few petrol. Best regards to all of you, your Greek friend from the french riviera.
