That looks so good. I have yet to hookup power to the smoke unit you sent me. After seeing that I am inspired to get off my butt and give that a try. It looks very convincing.
Thanks Dan! This new design is more power efficient than the unit I sent you...
Your unit is equipped with a step-up voltage regulator powering a 24 Ohms 2 Watts resistor at around 12.5 Volts
For the latest design, I went opposite by using a step down voltage regulator powering a 5.49 Ohms resistor at 4.8 Volts...
I also turn the speaker around a 180 degrees to get more pumping and eliminate the tubing, meaning that the speaker can operate at lower volume; thus the possibility to use a 3 Watts 5 Volts mini audio amp.
Due to the use of voltage regulators; both designs will supply a constant smoke output from 8.4 Volts to 7.0 Volts...
That single baffle muzzle brake is often referred to as a'globular muzzle brake'.
Thanks Jeff, I always liked the model F2. It was an interim design and few of them were built compare to other ones...
I have set my eyes on this particular one:
Niiiiiiiiiiiice!
I'm surprised it didn't set off the smoke alarms!!!
Surprisingly, I never set off the smoke alarm with my smoke unit; but that same alarm keeps reminding me to clean the toaster from time to time
