Smoking Building
I took one of my bombed out building and put a short burning smoke device in it. I placed it in a coffee can for safety. Just testing...
might still be uploading...so wait a few minutes...

RE: Smoking Building
Neat. Need to couple one of those smoke devices to an IR sensor for a "destroyable objective". Could even have a few planks, boards, or pieces "pop" off a house to simulate an explosion.

RE: Smoking Building
Tankhobby sells a detector for $16 that can trigger a relay when hit by IR (and hence light a model rocket ignitor fuse or actuate a servo to "blow" something up). It's a little non-selective (it can be triggered by an appropriate tv remote) but would work in a pinch. A slightly more advanced circuit could use a PIC microcontroller to detect the actual Tamiya battle signal and count hits before triggering. Would make it easier to have a reinforced bunker that took a good number of hits rather than a lucky snipe shot to destroy it...

RE: Smoking Building
I guess I'm the only DB that has something negative to say but here goes
It looks like you are using fireworks to create your smoke. You can see sparks flying off. It is a totally cool effect but there are easier and more controllable ways to make smoke for effect. It would be cool if your building had a smoke generator and some electronics so you could turn it on and off.

RE: Smoking Building
I actually have 2 halloween foggers....They have timers...but then I need juice.
Yep, I did see the spark in the video...unfortunately I will not be using those devices...I was only testing them out for effect. I don't want to have to apply for a pyrotechnic license.
The first time I used it I had it sealed in 2 coffee cans with holes poked in the top..nice effect also, but Perry S. is correct, for safety sake it was just an experiment in controlled conditions.
Now where do I find a 1000 foot extension cord for my fog machines...lol.
