building a smoke generator for aero testing.

Finally came up with a solid design. Im still working on the hangers and a magnetic mount also.
It is similar to an industrial drain snake head / hydro blast tip.
Bullet nose shape 1/2"x4long steel tubing packed with crushed up and compressed mosquito coil kept in place and impregnated into a coarse steel wool and perhaps saw dust??
Trial and error will be required for best effects without laying flaming embers over the car lol.
Its funny thinking about it but I could probbably ignite the back seat and worse.
The key to sucess is in hollow point nose hole diameter and length of tube and packing materials/density.
I will keep all abrest of sucess and mabe get a few piks in action in pace vehicle later.
My Idea is to see the aero mod effects better at variable speeds.
I believe most results but tuft testing only goes so far and doesnt give good variables.
For others who diddnt read my intro when I came to this group months back I thought it would be easy to aero test correctly, I attempted mists and such but they only go so far because of density issues and recompression in focal layer. simple terms hit in my windshield without any flow visable. even tried rubbing alcohol and hairspray etc.
Ok thats all I got for now, but I will try to make design very simple using only basic tools and ingrediants.
