MAGICFX®SMOKEBUBBLE BLASTER —User and Installation Manual 5

1 MEET THE MAGICFX®SMOKEBUBBLE BLASTER!

The MAGICFX® SMOKEBUBBLE BLASTER is a special eects machine that launches

bubbles (optionally lled with smoke) into the air with a capacity of 6 000 bubbles a

minute.

The MAGICFX® SMOKEBUBBLE BLASTER pumps bubble uid from a jerrycan to the

bubble heads. The bubble uid leaves a bubble head through the double-walled

exterior. A servo-driven wiper frequently wipes the head. This creates a small

membrane on the head. The air from an overpressurized chamber behind the

bubble heads blows the air into the membrane. This creates a trail of bubbles from

the bubble head.

A pair of fans blow air into the chamber behind the bubble heads. This creates the

overpressure conditions in the chamber. Another pair of fans is positioned

underneath the heads. The controllable air ow from the fans will launch the bubbles

high into the air.

Optionally smoke uid is pumped from a jerrycan, vaporized into smoke by two

heating elements and led to the bubble heads. The smoke output is located inside

the bubble head. The smoke from the output is mixed with the air that makes the

bubbles.

Unused bubble uid from the bubble heads will fall into a drip tray. A drain and

connected hose transports the remains back into the jerrycan with bubble uid.

The MAGICFX® SMOKEBUBBLE BLASTER is outtted for operation:

• in Manual mode with multiple options (e.g setting a timer and the output

distance);

• with DMX and optionally RDM;

• in sequence with multiple machines.

1.4 FX FLUIDS

The MAGICFX® SMOKEBUBBLE BLASTER uses bubble uid and smoke uid from MAGIC

with bubble uid is placed and connected in the bubble cabinet, see Section 3.2. The

5 litre jerrycan with smoke uid is placed and connected in the smoke cabinet, see

Section 3.3. The sheet metal interiors of the cabinets hold the jerrycans in place.
