Someone should put this in a server room and when someone walks in say "welcome to the Cloud".

Would be interesting to see how it'd work out in that heat and with so many fans trying to dictate airflow, until all of the servers died of course.😥
I'm filming a horror scene this Tuesday, and this tutorial has convinced me I can use my fog machine for the shoot. Many thanks!

Don't tape the fog machine onto the duct, you need the air to hit the solution to create more fog.

@-RIDEITLIKEYOUSTOLEIT- YES this is true! The fog needs to mix with the air to really create a lot of fog. If you do as he did, your machine will not create as much fog. Just leave the machine 3"-4" back from the inlet and 95% of the fog will shoot in, the remaining 5% will drift away. However, you will have 50% more fog going into the chiller.

@@neuronoc.7343 NO! The fog MUST mix with a ton of air first. I know it seems counterintuitive for it not to be connected, BUT, leaving it 3"-4" back produces so much more fog, that it is not even close. I used to connect them and one night I forgot to and could not believe how much more fog was being generated. Do a test yourself, you will be shocked.
Finally a real project! Great to see you up and running KipKay! :D
Wait. What?!? Now just pull out your fog machine? Like I have one in my closet that I've been hanging onto for gawd knows what and here it is!
Best project you have EVER done!
The best fog chiller tutorial I've seen. I will try it. Thank you
One of the coolest Projets ever. I LOVE MAKEMAG
I made this type of chiller a few years ago. It's main flaw is that it can't handle a large amount of fog at once. What we saw in the video was most probably a 400W fog machine that produces approximately 1,200 cubic feet per minuet. My 700W fogger produces 3,200 cubic feet per minuet. The fog traveled through the vent pipe so fast that it didn't stay cold. The best high capacity design is to have a PVC frame with wire mesh on top. A pipe goes through the middle.
Easy to follow instructions. I will try it this Halloween. Thanks for sharing.
Finally, kipkay is back with something rather simple and interesting, like the weekend projects used to be :3
this is proberly the best project from the weekend projects
would it be alright if the holes were higher?...because when the ice melts won,t it leak water through the holes...just curiuos....but LOOVE your idea...gonna try it this october
Brilliant design imma use my 2000w fogger I'm getting for my DJ setup will be intense but cool for Halloween I'm use two par cans for green lighting effects aswel
coolest project yet until now!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU HAVE THE BEST VIDEOS!!! VERY DETAILED!
doing this tomorrow for a party. Perfect timing!
I have 3 1000 watt foggers. The output duration is usually 50 seconds. Is there a way internally to increase the length of fog output?
this is definitely the best project ever
How long does the fog stay on the ground for? Does it fully disperse by the time it warms up? (That would be ideal for my case) Thanks!
I love these fog things!
You just saved me so much money! Thank you!
Awesomely cool!
this looks awesome
Perfect to go with my mighty mini fog maker!
You should leave a little gap for the fog to mike with air so it gets thinker
nice one , i use it for my room , and it's AWESOME
cool! deffently going to do this thank you!
I’m using a tote box abt 29 qts. I’m curious to know how big the box should be. ‘T boc is almost as big as the tote but it doesn’t seem to work. Hiw small of a box should I use?
Keep in mind that you can use the same trash with the holes exactly where her put them. Once the chiller is filled with ice, the fog will be pumped through the pipe and will hit the lid and be forced down through the ice. It will travel through the wire mesh and will escape through the second hole. These types of chillers can easily handel large capacity fog machines.
have to make this for Halloween!
THIS. IS. AWESOME!!!
for using this concept in a yard, would a 3-5 foot pbc pipe with 1/4 in holes drilled in it and capped at the end be ideal in place of the cardboard box?
Awesome videos from this guy. they look great on my bigeframe wifi screen!
this is the stuff i want to watch!
I'm getting some good trunk or treat ideas from this stuff..
yo kip better telling about this project is the mos coolest of the weekend
That is SOOOO nice!
awesome. just awesome. instant favorite.
MAGNIFICENT!
ok, this is awesome
trick or treed. great project
Dang!!! That's awesome.
You always want to leave about 2-3in between the intake pipe and the fogger for good airflow.
That is sick!
nice! great work!
thats pretty badass
RIP best make vids.
Thanks so Much for Sharing
love you KIp, great job ˆˆ
I used silicone caulking to seal up around the dryer duct and it seemed to prevent melting ice from leaking. I haven't tried it in my haunted house yet, but I hope it will help make my graveyard creepier!
i made this for halloween :D it is awesome!
This is really cool and awsome
YES! Kip Kay is finally back!!
YES! he´s back!
That was really cool
i don't know if anyone can help. I basically did a similar fog cooler. the fog machine is a 1000w. instead of attaching it to a box, i have it funning through a small plastic pumpkin head where it flows through the mouth of the pumpkin. However, huge problem, the smoke barely comes out of the pumpkin. and it doesn't lay low (and im using ground fog) I shortened the piping by about half and similar results. there doesn't seem to be any leaking. and when the smoke machine is on by itself, there is a great amount of smoke coming out...wtf? thoughts?
Do you use the reg fogger fluid or the low laying fogger fluid for this project?? TIA!
Weekend Project is the best xD
great video as many are WAY too complicated but I will buy a 400w fog machine from Spirit Halloween and hope it lasts longer than the one I bought from Giggles which lasted one night!!
I am following this design but wonder if using 3" hose that's a little longer would provide more chilling surface but allow for a small can and less ice...thoughts?
I like the fact that this works with regular ice. I wonder tho how dry ice changes the effect if at all?

Heavier thicker but for the money not necessary I really isn't that big of a difference and it cost you a lot more to fill you want a good surface area first smoke and fog you don't want to filter the fog her to be 125 to go straight through ice the whole point is to chill the fog so it stays low running it through the pipe doesn't get that enough contact that's a stupid stuff that shouldn't be included in take the pipe out and shoot it into the garbage can full of eyes to get a lot better effect
Awesome! and when the ice melts it will be all over my floor!

Or, you could just use it outside. I guess some people need warning labels to cover EVERY base.
AWESOME!
thats awesome
Allowing an air gap between your fog machine and the inlet hose will create massive output increases. The gap creates a venturi effect and trust me when I say the results will speak for themselves.
that's so awesome
Ok thats one thing i HAVE to make!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never built one thing from kipkay but thats a MUST!!!!!!!!!!
Wow a weekend project i might actually make :D
thats heaps cool
kipkay has been resurrected! bless the gods for the first good project in a long time!
*suggestion* If you buy a few chauvet par 38 lights, and a Obey 3 by chauvet and some dmx cabels (you need as many dmx cables as you need lights) and set the lights to purple, it may make the fog look like its glowing under a blacklight. I have not tested this so I don't know if tis true... But its something cool to try out!
yay! something useful!
Kip Kay is back, yay!
To get a similar effect you can use a vaccum cleaner hose and stick straws in it until the complete opening is full of straws. Put this hose on your smoke machine. It isn't as good as using ice but its better when you didn't have the space for such a big device.
Awesome...MakeMag!!! :)))
Looks around the corner again... YES IT IS!
I just made this and it works! I will post a video tomorrow!
awsome!
now thats cool
Out of all the videos I've watched this is the only one I really might do
that is soooo cool
very great idea :)
Awsome!!
Is the coiling neccesary or can we skip it. I dont have a long enough aluminum pipe. Is it coiled bcause of the chilling process?
that is a very good one
awesome!!!!!!!
@2:51 and the 8 seconds that follow are incredible
What size fog machine would i need if i wanted to cover my yard for halloween? Any suggestions on machines?
yay kipkay is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi there, I am wondering if the hole at the bottom of the bin is less than 2 inches off the floor and you are putting ice into it. When the ice melts wouldn't it leak through? :) xx
Whaaat?! I thought you were going to show us how to make thee machine, but u just taught us how to improve one. But it's awesome though! Wow!
wow I like how this was way better than the fog machine he made on his main channel
thats cool
thats wary cool
cool!
So Kool!
For leaking problems: Don't remove the ice from the bag itself, that way when the ice melts it stays in the plastic and you can freeze it again after or just throw them away without having problems of leaking. Just my 2 cents. :)

No. The fog cools down more if it has to bleed thru the individual ice cubes.. Rather than just seeping its way around the bag.
it's the ultimate vape by kip kay!
