Fantastic. I think the cellophane crumpled over the led is a great idea. Accessing the tank for refills adds an additional challenge for a lot of applications, particularly if the profile of the base is thin. I'll have to ponder that a bit. Probably need to have the generator on hand to problem solve that. And I should add that the tutorial format (typical for you) is worth praise on its own. You edit it down very well and choose your shots excellently. Great job.

@BoulderCreekRailroad

+Terranscapes You can get the generator to have a much lower profile however the top of the generator where the smoke emanates gets very hot. I did some experiments with styrene plastic and it does a good job of warping the styrene that's closest to the tip of the generator. I'd guess you'll need to use something like plaster or possibly another more heat resistant plastic if you plan to have a structure near the smoke exit. I was actually surprised at how well the extruded foam board held up to withstanding the high temperature. I had the generator mounted in the foam itself with no insulation and the foam pressed up tight against the tube, the foam didn't melt at all. I didn't include those tests in the video because I though it might be unsafe if not done properly and carefully. Thanks for the great feedback on the video format as well. It's good to know you appreciate it :) Cheers Luke

But now when I've typed all that, I just got so very tired... :D

I hope at some time to make a 'Steam-Punk' inspired PC, using brass fittings, copper tubing, etc, for the water cooling loops, etc. and fake the pump and reservoir area as a boiler. I figure some of those reddish flicker LEDs to represent the fire and a model smoke generator to make it look like it is coal/oil fired. Oh, is that a Kiwi accent?
