Hi Phil - don't know if this is helpful - see my second YouTube footage(link at bottom of this page) for an indication of the output (I fitted this unit plus a pulsed blower fan into an Annie) the film was made on a windy day. Smoke from 5-10ml of 'fuel' lasts for around 30 mins.

You could produce something of similar power to that 12V Hunter unit by using four parallel 22 ohm 6 Watt resistors (e.g. http://www.rapidonline.com/sku/Elec...esistors/6W-Wirewound-resistors/66538/62-8326 < Link To http://www.rapidonline.co...esistors/66538/62-8326 ) as heating elements. Fold lengths of wicks in half with a resistor in the fold of each wick and immerse the wick ends in the smoke oil. You'd still need to rig up a blower though.

There was a great layout at the Warley show a couple of years back that had loads of smoke coming from factory chimneys, ships funnels etc. He used a disco smoke machine hidden under the baseboard with a load of pipes leading to all the required outlets. If your roundhouse is set on a raised board maybe that would work? He said the unit was fairly cheap to buy and very economical to run.

if you are not picky and willing to settle for lots of steam - have you ever noticed, how much steam rises from these electric cleansers of contact lenses?

another idea, that worked in a trial:
a piece of copper pipe, a nail or two driven through it at the lower end, a computer fan below that.
just throw a lit cigar into it. (a cheap one does it)

OOOOOOOOooo you'll get strung up for that one!!!!

I think a nice flash Bang should do the trick.........................
