A Fog Machine is a device that creates thick artificial fog or smoke-like effects for events, performances, and visual displays. It works by heating a special fog liquid and releasing it as a mist that looks like smoke in the air.

How a Fog Machine Works

A fog machine has a heating element and a pump system. The machine heats the fog fluid until it turns into vapor. When the vapor comes out of the nozzle and mixes with cooler air, it forms dense fog or smoke-like clouds.
