Patent Images
1. An apparatus for generating smoke, comprising in combination:
- electrically conductive tubing configured as a coil and having a plurality of sections having distinct I2 R heating properties and cross-sectional areas;
means for applying an electric current across the length of said tubing;
housing means for containing said tubing having a first aperture communicating with said tubing for discharge of smoke and a resealable aperture communicating with said tubing for insertion of smoke producing liquids, said housing providing electrical and thermal insulation about said tubing;
a destructable relief disk located in said first aperture providing means for discharging smoke; and
means for controlling the temperature of said tubing operably connected thereto.

Abstract
A resistance tube type smoke generator utilizes a plurality of tube secti, each having a distinct cross-sectional area and electrical resistivity to provide both storage and vaporization via prolonged differential heating of a smoke producing agent. Thermal control may be exercised by sensing change in resistivity of the entire tube or by thermostatic sensors attached to the tubing sections.
