As part of my costume, I want dry ice fog to come out of my pants legs (and maybe shirt cuffs).
I was thinking of a hidden bladder/container on my lower leg, and tubing running out my legs and up through my body to my arms.
Couple of questions:
1. What does the bladder need to be made of? hard plastic? water bottle?
I assume I need hose that is wide enough to keep the pressure below bursting.
2. Any suggestions for heating the water in the bladder so the effect will last? How about handwarmers in a plastic bag?
3. Think I need a fan to push the fog out? The expansion of the gas should provide a significant push.
4. Any concerns about the temperature of the fog around my hands? (my feet will have socks and shoes, so should be protected).
5. How insulated must the bladder be to protect my legs? Any suggestions on insulation (to prevent condesation freeze, etc.)
Dry ice seems like the economical way to go - fog fluid requires significant heat.
Thanks for any thoughts, advice, interesting tricks.
