Dry ice can create a very dramatic fog effect and is perfect for spooky Halloween parties and events. But how do you make it?
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide which sublimes into a gas when it comes into contact with water. It is available in pellets and blocks.
How to Make Smoke
Dry ice is the perfect way to make smoke and fog for Halloween parties, special effects, or other spooky events. Just submerge the dry ice in water, and it will turn to carbon dioxide gas that produces a thick, white fog.
You can also mix dry ice with soap and water to create bubbles that burst into a flurry of fog. This simple experiment is a great hands-on way to teach kids about how dry ice works, and it’s fun for everyone!
To start the process, fill a graduated cylinder half-full with warm water. The cylinder will help the dry ice break down, and as it breaks down, it will produce carbon dioxide gas that floats in the water.
Once the cylinder is full, drop in pieces of dry ice until they are completely covered. It will take a while for the smoke to begin to form, so be patient. When it does, squirt a little dish soap into the cylinder and watch the magic happen!
Ingredients
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, but unlike other solids it doesn’t melt into liquid, instead it changes directly into a gas (called sublimation). It is a useful tool for keeping foods and medicines cold during transportation as well as in making items appear out of thin air.
A very popular science activity involves combining dry ice with warm water to create a smoking bubble effect. To do this, simply fill a vase with hot water, add a bit of detergent, and drop in a piece of dry ice.
This is a very simple science experiment that is easy to do with children. They’ll learn about the science behind how dry ice produces smoke and can enjoy doing it at the same time!
One of the neatest things about this activity is that the fog that forms is ephemeral. It only lasts for a few minutes before it disappears!
Equipment
Smoke machines, hazers and fog machines are used to create a variety of smoke and haze effects in theatres, nightclubs, theme parks and other entertainment applications. They are also used for fire safety training, leak testing, air flow in wind tunnels and more.
The most effective smoke machines are professional units designed to last a long time in heavy use. These units often have no ‘dead band’ which means that they are always ready to make smoke on cue.
Dry ice is sometimes used in smoke effects to cool down conventional smoke, but it’s expensive and requires a very controlled environment. It is also not ideal for use on stage as it whisks away with any air movement and this can ruin the effect.
Smoking also harms the lungs by destroying tiny air sacs in the lungs called alveoli and the brush like hairs that line your airways, known as cilia. These cilia help remove dirt and mucus in your lungs to keep them clear and healthy.
Safety
Dry ice is solidified carbon dioxide and available in flakes, pellets or block form. It sublimes (turns directly from a solid to a gas skipping the liquid phase) at a temperature of -78 degrees Celsius below zero.
If you are handling dry ice, wear thick gloves and use tongs. Leaving your hands exposed to the ice can cause frostbite, tissue damage and even a burn.
Whenever working with dry ice, make sure there is good ventilation in the area to avoid buildup of carbon dioxide gas. This will cause shortness of breath, dizziness and even unconsciousness in high concentrations.
Also, don’t store dry ice in an airtight container or in any place where it can pressurize. This can cause it to explode. Ensure it is stored in a well-ventilated location, such as a fume hood.
