Abstract
A device or machine for producing smoke-filled soap bubbles is provided. The device includes an air pumping mechanism such as an air bellows and a smoke-generating mechanism such as conventionally found in toy trains. The air pumping mechanism and the smoke-generating mechanism are connected to a tube or conduit having an open aperture. A soapy liquid film is provided on the aperture. Then the soap-generating mechanism and the air pump mechanism are simultaneously activated to pump smoke-filled air through the conduit to inflate the soap film into a soap bubble. The resulting soap bubble is thereby filled with smoke, thus producing a desirable effect. The device is preferably configured in the shape of a toy airplane such that the smoke-filled bubbles, when produced, appear as bombs dropped from the airplane.
