Quick Alternative To Fog

[LesPaul]

If you want to bring our the beam of your laser a bit more an you don't have fog, you can spray your room with deodarant.

This will be known by a lot of you, so sorry, but it might help a new person like me!

Cya!

be careful, if it is a strong laser and enought deoderant wich can be inflammable
then it can ignite :angel:

It won't ignite. Unless we are talking about Q-switched lasers or the like.

Another alternative is to buy a bottle of glycerine heat up a metal surface e.g. fry pan/spoon/etc.. then put a drop or two on it. It will instantly create enough fog to see a laser beam.

Would not recommend sealing yourself in a room full of deodorant spray, the human body was not designed for breathing all those nasty chemicals!

If you can not afford a fog machine, buy a bottle of fluid and just drip it onto a hot pan like bobhaha suggested. Be careful not to burn it though, it becomes toxic!

You could also use incense or water vapor. Take a hot shower for 10 minutes and then test your laser in the bathroom.

... and create acrolein. No, no and no.
Glycerin should be mildly heated until blowing with a straw towards its surface starts creating fog. The point is in making water vapor combining with glycerol, and not evaporating glycerol, which only causes acrolein buildup which is very toxic, and fucks up your lungs.

I wouldn't really expose any electronic devices to an environment saturated with water vapor. Not only they're not designed to work in such conditions, but it's common sense. Water condenses and ruins electrical equipment slowly but steadily.

Incense sticks would work somewhat worse than glycerol-water aerosol, and it's not exactly good for lungs as it's essentially burned matter like cigarettes or any other smouldering fire.

I smoke enough I dont need fog. :eg:

 

[BShanahan14rulz]

yes, it seems the obvious choice is to take up smoking :evil:

Or using those ecigs :angel:
