Foam Party Generation
|
 Generating hundreds of cubic meters of foam in a club environment is difficult, because foam breaks down rapidly after it is generated and breakdown is greatly accelerated by heat from club lights, air flow, and people moving through the foam. The event shown in the photos above lasted four hours and was held on a dance floor measuring 10m x 15m. It requires three foam generators, about 80 liters of foam concentrate, and over 500 liters of water to keep this size of dance floor filled with foam for the evening.
foam concentrate is diluted with water in a 150 liter plastic garbage can or 220 liter drum and pumped to the foam generator, which suspended from the ceiling. Then it is sprayed on to the fabric bag. By adjusting the air volume from the blower, solution flow, and thread-count of the bag's fabric, different foam consistencies can be achieved, ranging from a thick shaving cream texture to large bubbles. The distribution of foam can range from a blizzard-like effect of small bubbles to a thick mass of bubbles.
Some club operators have used commercial foam cannons capable of shooting jets of foam over 10 meters - either at people in the crowd, or up in the air. foam cannons have been used for a long time in firefighting and crowd control, but have recently been used for mass decontamination (with MDF200 decon foam). The use of foam cannons in clubs has been limited by high cost and the need for a source of high-volume high-pressure air to launch the foam.
