1. A generator for encapsulating a first fluid inside bubbles in combination comprising:
- a chamber for a substance capable of forming a gaseous form of the first fluid;
a pump for moving the substance from the chamber to a gaseous forming generator;
an outlet from the generator to direct gaseous form towards a chimney and towards expulsion from the body via the chimney;
a bubble generator being for forming bubbles, and the chimney directing the gaseous form from the chimney to join with the bubble being formed and thereby encapsulating the gas in the bubble and releasing the bubble containing the gas from the body; and
the generator including a tube through which the substance capable of forming the gas passes, the contents of the substance passing through the tube and permit the forming of gas of the substance.

Abstract
A generator for smoke and bubbles in combination includes a storage chamber for a smoke forming fluid and a smoke generator for creating smoke in a chimney. There is a bubble generator with a nozzle for forming a fluid over the nozzle and smoke from the chimney enters the bubble-forming fluid and exits the device such that the smoke-filled bubbles are formed. Excess fluid and condensed fluid, which would otherwise form smoke, is returned to the storage chamber where heating of the fluid for forming the smoke is effected in a tube where capillary action causes smoke-generating fluid to be heated.
