Abstract
The invention is a smoke generator which atomizes fog oil by means of a slinger disc affixed to, and rotating with, a turbine wheel. The atomized fog oil mixes with, and is evaporated by, the hot, turbine exhaust gas. Upon leaving the generator, the evaporated fog oil recondenses into a smoke cloud. The smoke cloud generated is to provide a visual screen on a battlefield for concealing the whereabouts of troops and equipment from observance by an enemy.
