How to Make Smoke and Smoke Bombs

Learn different ways to make smoke or fog, smoke bombs, colored smoke bombs, and how to perform chemistry demonstrations that produce smoke.

Smoke Bomb Video Tutorial

Smoke bombs are the easiest and safest do-it-yourself firework project. You only need two inexpensive, non-toxic ingredients and it only takes minutes to make. Watch and learn how you can cook up a smoke bomb at home.

 

Safe Smoke Bomb Instructions

A classic smoke bomb is easy to make and safe to use, but you can make the project even safer if you don't heat the ingredients. Here's what you do.

Ultimate Colored Smoke Bomb

Make a smoke bomb that billows clouds of brightly colored smoke. This project is easy and safe enough to at home. Adult supervision is required.

Smoke Bomb Instructions

You can easily make a smoke bomb using inexpensive materials to produce safe smoke.

Atomized Glycol Fog

Glycols are used to produce smoke in most commercial smoke machines. Here's how to make your own mixture.

Black Powder or Gunpowder

Black powder is used as a propellant for bullets, as well as for fireworks and rocketry. Use these instructions for history, not practical application!

Colored Smoke Recipes

Colored smoke is easy to make and requires few ingredients. Here's a list of some colored smoke formulations to try.

Dry Ice Smoke or Fog

Learn how to make your own nontoxic smoke and fog effects using dry ice and hot water. No smoke machine required!

Dry Ice Bubble

The giant bubble you can make using dry ice and bubble solution sort of resembles a crystal ball. This is an easy and spectacular science project.

Fountain Firework

Kick the traditional smoke bomb recipe up a notch to make a firework fountain that shoots purple flames with lots of smoke. This is a fun and easy homemade firework project.

How to Light a Smoke Bomb

Once you have a smoke bomb, here's how you light it.

Liquid Nitrogen Fog

Most of the air you breathe in nitrogen, making this a very safe form of smoke or fog. Unlike water fog, it's not wet, nor does it leave any residue on surfaces, like some glycols.

More Smoke Bomb Recipes

There's more than one way to make a smoke bomb. Here's a collection of recipes, so you can make a device using the materials you have on hand.

Nitrogen Triiodide Chemistry Demonstration

Learn how to perform the nitrogen triiodide chemistry demonstration, a spectacular touch-sensitive decomposition that produces a cloud of purple smoke and a loud 'snap'.

Smoking Fingers Trick

Make your fingers smoke when you rub them together and glow in the dark. All you need is a matchbox and a way to burn the striker portion.

Smoke Ring Cannon

You can make a smoke ring cannon that shoots smoke rings in the air or even in water. A smoke ring cannon is a simple science project that uses easy-to-find household materials to illustrate fluid vortex formation in a fun way.

Spooky Halloween Jack-o-Lantern

You can make spooky fog come out of your Halloween jack-o-lantern using a little dry ice. Here's how you do it plus a trick for getting the best effect.

Water Vapor Fog

Vaporizing water basically makes clouds. It's easy to make your own fog or clouds with water.

White Smoke Bombs with Colored Flames

Adding common metal salts to your smoke bomb recipe will produce colored fire.

White Smoke Chemistry Demonstration

Learn how to perform the white smoke chemistry demonstration, in which a cloud of ammonium chloride crystals are produced from reacting ammonia and hydrochloric acid.
