That's the most obvious solution, but fog machines tend to spit out fog in between uses and require a warm-up time. Also the fog plume isn't really "explosion-like", if you get what I mean. It takes some time to get a decent amount of fog (like a second or so) while with fireworks you get an instant plume.
I don't know... it's not something I'll soon be using anyway :P

In Beyond there's an easy way to add a boom. Simply add a second AV track then add an explosive sound loop to the second av track where its required. Not only do you get the explosion, but you are also able to align it perfectly to the music event avoiding mis cues. As there's no limit to the loops you can add, you can add multiple explosions alligned to mulitple beats all in the same show.
Don't have a solution for the visual effect, but where permitted a flash pot could be the answer or strobe as PJ suggested where not.

This warm up can be done before actually using the unit?
The unit doesn't have to cool down each burst.
The thing is that likely the unit needs to run really hot and then give bursts so it vaporizes the fluid fast but doesn't burn the fluid in the process.
Compared to normal fog use, it doesn't need to emit lots of fog and certainly not at a constant rate hence I mention the bursting of fluid.
This could turn out to be an expensive add-onn though
Also got to add: everytime RGB laserverkoop posts something thats to outragous to say the least he always says he leaves and then comes back and does it all over again.
When will someone on the forum finally act and just say we are done with this and take measures?
The thing is: with lasers you have a safety margin in between your audience. You hang the projectors up high so your audience can't reach that.
With subwoofers it's a more constant noise and NOT a burst like this and this is coming from a way smaller nozzle, thus its way more concentrated force.
And with a subwoofer you can turn stuff down for safety if needed or desired.
With big performances there is even a distance between the subwoofers and audience.
Just because other things can be bad when not used right doesn't justify that what you are doing is right.
On top of that is CAN be dangerous.
What you are doing IS dangerous
tell that to your audience

Je weet veel van mij en praat alleen negatief, daar ben ik niet zo blij mee.
Daarom wil ik graag weten welke bart zo negatief is, ik ken er nl. meerdere ook klanten van mij heten bart.
Daarom wil ik het graag weten en kan ik in de tegen aanval en je zeker schrappen als klant als je dat was..I've just been threatened to be expelled as a customer of RGBlaserverkoop if I don't cease my criticism

Oh dear. I bet this REALLY upset you...
Were you ever a customer?
If in doubt... Give it a clout?

-Bart-, maybe he's switching you with me?
I've bought 2 Kvants from Joost a year ago.
I'm not having anything against Joost in person, but i agree this Boom device which may be looking fun to use could be dangerous, and i'm sure Joost also knows that.
He is a teacher so i doubt he will put his audience in danger on purpose, am i wright Joost!?
Maybe you could tell everyone how much decibel this device creates so we all know it's safe?
Senior Member
your right!
( i not post here any more, to many people think they know it all, now i only read info like the most do)
Senior Member
Joost, let us know how much decibel it creates so we all could sleep well and don't have to worry about it anymore.
This is new material for some people over here including myself i could imagine they doubt it's save, but you could take that feeling away.
If it bangs around 105db which will be the same as the music in a club/disco the arbo says it won't damage your hearing, a symphony orchestra have peaks around 120/130 db, what the f.ck that's nearly a Jet which leaves the runway (140db measured at 30 meters from the plane).
I've checked it on www.arbopodium.nl, arbo is the dutch organization which controls the rules for all business like laserists, PA workers but also car mechanic or a painter and off course Joost!)
Just let us know the numbers, you should have a DB meter if you use this equipment so i presume you also have measured the bang!
