    Non Harmful - Burns 100% Pure Glycerin or Lionel Smoke Fluid
    for Model RR Applications and other Dioramas
    Great for scenes or dioramas where larger amounts of smoke are required -like a forest fire, burning house, etc. and very economical to operate.  These heater units
    produce a large volume of smoke.  The output can be split to go to more destinations on your scene by inserting an aquarium air flow distributor and using more plastic tubing.
    The heater coil must have a power supply that can be controlled between 3.2 and 3.7Vdc (max).  The motor for the air pump must have a supply voltage of 3V to 6VDC.  Both the motor and the heater require a higher amperage rating of 3 to 5 Amps.  I recommend an old DC train transformer with higher amperage and adjustable voltage output.
    Soldering the small wires to the heater coil requires good soldering skills.  The surfaces must be cleaned with alcohol and both the wire and the surface must be pretinned.  If the coil overheats in use, the wires can desolder.  I recommend not exceeding 3.2Vdc and not for continuous operation.  I only operate my units for 10 sec out of every minute for smoke stacks, which produce plenty of effect.   Could be wired with a push-button switch for simple momentary operation.
    Please Note:  This Smoke Generator is intended for scenic smoke effects and cannot be used directly in locomotive stacks or caboose chimneys.

    Kit Includes (everything seen in photo #1):
    1 pc 3-6Vdc Motor and Air Pump (2 L/min air-flow at 6Vdc) -New and Less Noise
    1pc Heater Coil  3.7Vdc max (I recommend use at 3.2 to 3.5Vdc)
    16" of 4mm flexible
    Flexible
    Air Tubing
    2pcs 4mm Straight Plastic Connectors
    1pc Right-angle Plastic Elbow Connector
    You Supply:
    Power source with adjustable voltage and sufficient amperage to handle requirements
    24AWG or 26AWG wires for the motor and the heater
    2pcs old prescription bottles of same diameter
    with lids
    (1 1/4" preferred with flat bottom)
    100% Pure Glycerin (or diluted 10% with distilled water) for fuel
    Tools for soldering and drilling
    You may require more tubing, depending on how many times you split the output and how far it travels
    Application:
    This unit produces great smoke effects, operates economically on 100% glycerin,  and produces no harmful vapors.
    I recommend intermittent operation.  S
    imple push-button switches could be used to achieve independent momentary operation.  I use a sequence timer that activates the heater coils independently and the air pump for intermittent operation, turns off the heater coils after 10 -15 sec,  allows the air pump to run 10-15 sec longer to clear the smoke and cool the heater coil, and finally pause for 30-40 sec for cooling.  This intermittent effect is great for most applications like chimneys, campfires, etc.  For a forest fire or burning building, a slightly longer run-time and shorter pause is needed but not continuous operation.  Continuous operation produces too much smoke and too much heat.  The best effects are created with hints of the illusion or traces of smoke.
    Use one Infinite Cycling Timer/Delay Control for the heater coil in this kit.
