I believe the real ones run at around 6Mhz! They are essentially splitting up water droplets until they are light enough to float above the surface.

Hi all,
I've been sick for a couple of days, but today I felt well enough to do something. I boosted the drive voltage up to 150v at 2.5MHz, and with about 2.5cm of water above the piezo, i get fog. Yes the water level effects the fog output massively, but also the frequency does too! I cant get anything to happen below about 1 Mhz, which strikes me as odd. Perhaps its a function of frequency and waterlevel (like a sort of acoustic resonator, changing the water level changes the resonant frequency etc.) Also it appears only about 20W is required to produce a reasonable amount of fog (to fill an ice cream container in other words).
Next thing is to scale it up with lots of piezos!
Cheers,
Jesse

There's no shortage of Google replies to "fog machine" etc

I always wondered what would happen if you fogged something other than water. Something flammable...
Fuel-air explosives anyone....?

There's enough misery in the world without us adding to this dead end.
