....and lays a uniform curtain of fog from the top of a standard door jamb, all the way down to the floor in a sheet flat enough for use as a background for projected optical effects using as small a power plant as the Martin Magnum 2000 with only 1600 watts of power. The Door #3 can be powered using the Vortex Blizzard or larger fog chiller to collect the energy from the smoke machine. The primary video shown here uses the Jem ZR44 which is a continuous machine capable of creating this massive effect for hours on end and is powerful enough to eliminate the need for ice altogether! We produce a very specialized fog fluid just for our line of fog curtains, Vanishing Steam Curtain Formula. Due to the high volumes of fog distributed by this unique, volume-enhanced total system, we do not recommend any other fluid in any of our Natural Energy fog curtains. It is safe to use in any standard water-based fog machine.
Until now, fog curtains of this size have only been achieved through extremely expensive high powered smoke/CO2 systems costing many thousands of dollars and run as much as $600 and more per hour to operate. Attempting to pump fog up and out such a volume of ports would result in little more than mist or haze after the fan turbulence de constructs the fog back into liquid (fluid and water). The Vortex Natural Energy Fog Curtain produces a pea-soup thick blanket of fog much too dense to see through, even using the relatively small Magnum 2000 system we show in use in the above link. The Door #3 offers a savings of $600 per hour LESS than CO2. That translates to as much as $3,000.00 or even more in a single night. Theme parks and other attractions will find our Avalanche Series 4000 Fog Curtain Package the ideal solution for this amazing effect as all-aluminum construction allows this machine to run without ice continuously.
The Vortex Chillers Door Series Natural Energy Fog Curtains are sold as the horizontal, ported section shown at the top of the assembly plus the 3" elbow and come with heavy duty eye bolts at each end of the top of the unit for hanging by aerial suspension . You can easily add sections of smooth wall duct to position the curtain exactly at the height you want with our porting sections here. Place the Vortex (tm) natural energy fog chiller and smoke machine even 40 feet away (the larger power plant smoke machine used, the further distance away is possible) from your actual scene and your system still works to effortlessly create this unparalleled special effect for your set, scene or stage. We offer complete packages of curtains along with the correct size chillers and smoke machines.
Let your imagination run wild with all the possibilities of the Door Series Natural Energy Fog Curtain! Here is a video taken at the unveiling of the Door #2 fog curtain prototype at the Transworld Haunted Attraction Tradeshow in St. Louis in early 2010. Even though this prototype fog curtain was much less tightly spaced than what we sell now, the actor was actually completely hidden from view entirely just by the curtain itself. Send us your video and we might just place it on our website to spread the inspiration!
