Abstract
In order to overcome disadvantages in existing methods, a new wind tunnel smoke system has been investigated. The system consists simply of a device for mixing jets of anhydrous ammonia and sulphur dioxide gases. It is instantly controllable, produces dense white smoke without clogging, is easily portable, and poses no fire risk. Provided simple precautions are taken, there is no danger of toxic concentrations building up, and the substances used are non-corrosive, readily available, and cheap.
