Vortex/Smoke Ring Toys

thingiverse

These are a series of toy's for creating "smoke rings" or vortex rings using smoke, vapor, etc. that is inhaled then exhaled through the toy. This takes the guess work out of trying to figure out how to do it with your mouth and turns into quite a display, especially with the multiple ring versions. First file produces one large ring, second file produces two smaller rings, third file produces four even smaller rings. To make it work simply inhale some vapor or smoke put your mouth to the largest circular end and either exhale very slightly with a slight puff of air or raise your tongue to the roof of your mouth repeatedly. You can also tap your cheek very slightly to the same effect. Scale to size desired, printing larger produces larger rings (easy), smaller creates smaller rings (harder). More photos of it in action coming later, taking pictures of smoke rings is a pain. More designs to come. Multipurpose: These can also be used to create bubbles.
