Dry ice can create fog when placed in water. This is an especially popular
trick around Halloween to create a spooky atmosphere and is used often in
theater as well. Here is how to do it yourself:
- Add chunks of dry ice to water in a Styrofoam or other insulated
container. The chemical reaction will create a fog effect. Using
warm water will produce an even denser fog.
- The fog will sink to the ground. You can use a fan on a low setting to
move the 'smoke'.
- The water will become carbonated, causing the fog to disappear.
You will have to replace the carbonated water with fresh water in
order to maintain the effect.
- Room temperature does matter - you will get the most fog in a cool
room.
It is very important to keep in mind that dry ice can be hazardous.
