Abstract
A smoke generator having an air-powder mixing container with vacuum line achment to a mechanical smoke dispersing apparatus. The container has funnel shaped side walls to direct powder to a reduced container bottom. A pressurized input line extends to a point on the container bottom as does a vacuum powder outlet line. The powder outlet line is connected to a venturi mounted to the exhaust port of a small turbine engine. This draws the air-powder mixture from the container directly into the turbine exhaust and into the atmosphere.
