How To Build a Party Foam Machine DIY (HomeMade)

[@jdziatlik]

Just completed and used foam daddy foam product. Works Amazingly Well. Thank you so much.

[@dirtydukeV]

Thanks for the help. I think I got this thing to work. It seems that the real problem was too much water coming out of nozzles. I put an in-line ball valve between pump and nozzles and reduced flow quite a bit. Results were impressive.

[@DrLauraRPalmer]

Genius. Thank you so much. Great song too.

[@Crazy.Rocketman]

Nice job dude, thanks for making the video, I wasn't aware of parting with foam, but I'm 53 tomorrow, not in the grove.

[@larrymarkos]

Great video. Haven't built mine yet, but your video clearly shows what needs to be done.

[@TheRealAmythyst]

, you know it sucks he was so ahead of his time like he probably really just gave up on doing how to in DIY videos for KZbin

[@SailorBarsoom]

I'll probably never have the need for this knowledge, but its cool to know anyway. And if somehow I ever DO need to know, I know what video to come back and watch again.

[@gjbc]

Great video- thanks so much for sharing it! I made a foam machine a little while ago, based on your design, and used it in a tv commercial (a washing machine that filled the room with foam.) Worked great! I did a couple little changes- instead of pvc pipe for the foam solution, I used 3/8" copper tubing for a smaller profile- I thought this would let more air through the fan. And I used compression fittings. Also, I bought a brass three nozzle sprinkler from Best Hardware, and cut off the three brass nozzles and soldered them to the copper tubing. They're nice because you can adjust how fine the spray is by twisting them, and you can point them different directions to coat the inside of the bag thoroughly. Thanks again for sharing! Great design!

[@jonathancook4022]

Did you ever try different types of fabric bag?

[@roybenari]

That's cool. I can now build my own foam machine for sums I can't afford instead of twice of what I can't afford! Thank you, anonymous rich guy!

[@koreysmith1844]

If you put a cone around the front would it come out in an arc? So you have the fosm accumilate in tge big part then funnel down so all the foam and air could only escape a tuve with a 4 inch diameter

[@michaelpeacestewart]

have you ever attemped a foam jet cannon?

[@goodmaro]

If you run into the problem shown with the under-powered blower, just cut back the liquid flow rate. You may not get the foam output rate you'd like, but you can always find a combination that will work to make foam with any blower.

[@DJdonvon]

Great video. I'm experimenting with a bear cylintrical air mover rated at 5,000 CFM with 4 nozzles.

[@xbox317]

What should i put on floor and stairs to prevent slipping from the foam?

[@djskeem142]

This guy is a total bad ass.

[@ummlol]

Does it matter how large the bag is? is there any difference in the 2 head and 3 head set up? Do you have an updated links for the supplies?

[@NICKproductionXD]

Soap vs Bubble bath for the mixture what's the best?

[@Schwob94]

Thanks for the updated video! What was the model fan you used? I saw three different ones in the video, which one works do you feel works the best?

[@Concise619]

Hey buddy that’s creative. I’m wondering if there would be an easy way for me to pump that kind of foam under a shed in my backyard in order to get rid of some bees that are trying to make a home? I know the soap will work but I’m not sure how to do what you did on a smaller application. Thank you

[@Viera95]

20' sounds high are you hanging them off of a roof? i would try and find away to put them lower or put the trashcan (water tank) up off of the ground a bit to make up the difference. but 1/2hp pumps should work. also if your renting fans I'm always worried about how your going to keep the weed block bag from being blown off the fan sense you cant attach it to anything, unless the fan already has Velcro on it (some do) if you have 3 machines going of any size it should make a pretty good party.

[@templemclaughlin9576]

Hey I need help...I used all the stuff you mentioned..a 1hp blower a 1/6 hp pump and its not making the foam it's just flowing out the bottom like how you showed when the blower wasn't strong enough. What's wrong?

[@msbebeas2162]

I need a machine for a warehouse. I know I'm going to need to make a couple of them. Can you tell me what size fan and pump will I need to do so? Please help me

[@agneltavadia8634]

Can you suggest any other fabric in replacement of the weed blocker

[@chimera91977]

You can use filter media

[@LeviLeon]

Any idea how to make UV colored foam?

[@iNsAn3xGaMiNgZx]

Hello, Would a 1/2 HP Snail fan work? It has 2800 CFM and It's within my budget. Thanks for the input!

[@omardude39]

Never done this before at all but just brainstorming, maybe a less dilute solution for your machine? The other alternative of course is to get the heads right into the opening

[@cjeproductions121]

Once again, an awesome video to help me with my party. Here is my plan for an upcoming party, any advice, tips or changes you have, please let me know:) I am renting 3 1/2 HP fans from home depot. I am buying 2 1/2 HP sump pumps. 2 32 gal garbage cans. And the fans will be about 15-20 ft off the ground. Are the 1/2 HP pumps powerful enough to get the water up that high? Is it over-kill? The party will be about 75-90 people. Are 3 fans enough, or it that overkill?

[@cassandradugan7754]

Can you suggest the best homemade foam? Thanks. Im going to attempt to make this for my husband's birthday party.

[@urbanclustr]

i know you have been asked this before, but if the fan is 9-12 ft off the ground, is 1/4 hp, 3000 gph water pump good enough to do the job?

[@The4Colemans]

Thank you for the great video. I've been piddling with different designs and yours seems spot-on! Do your newer models still drip much water? foam machine

[@adamvoigt15]

Hey Jeffry. You said that I need at least 3/4 horse or 3000 cfm? I bought a shop vac brand from lowes that is 1/2 horse at 1600 cfm and my pump is a submersible utility pump that does 1470 gal/hr. Will the pump and fan be adequate? I plan on putting it on the top of my radar arch on my boat. I don't want it to be underpowered. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

[@shoyabqureshi1305]

Which fabric you use in foam machine

[@Lay-z-daysevents]

I wanted to know this too

[@DrLauraRPalmer]

It’s called weed barrier landscaping fabric

[@arbet07]

About how long would a 55 gallon barrel last?

[@morph-]

Can you forgoe the bag on the front to have it as a canon rather than a waterfall of foam

[@greghench8452]

Most likely not. Its the material that makes the bubbles. Pretty much all you will have is soapy water if you don't. I have tried different materials and some that I thought would work well worked terribly

[@raulcmiranda]

Awesome video editing and great content

[@Viera95]

Thanks!

[@MikesMobileDJ]

Hi Jeff i followed your Video and i Purchased: Air Foxx Model AM4000a - 1HP Air Mover/Dryer adjustable 2,500/3,300/4,000CFM 1/6 hp wayne pump garden hose Weed gaurd sewn with velcro and made a 3 sprinkler setup, made mixture water/soap Dawn dish soap %2 per gallon testing 5 gallon at time and i have it on table and it doesnt even foam i have blower on highest setting 3 it barely even suds, i tried adjusting the sprinklers and capping off one to see if it would work and im not having any luck any suggestions kinda frustrating im not sure why it isnt wrking Can you help?

[@Viera95]

It must something with the weedblock.. The weed block I use is not "fabric" it's made out of plastic like a thick garbage bag. Try buying the Easy Gardener brand weedblock you can buy it on Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B0015HZ430/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_r5.-tb1BR9PD4 If you have more questions I can help you more through my company's Facebook page.

[@alona48]

I know this video is old but can you post a actual supply list. Especially the pvc pieces.

[@DrLauraRPalmer]

Hopefully you watched the video and made it yourself. He gave enough free content.

[@alonalavalais8849]

He certainly did give quite a bit of free info, and I did build it myself.

[@Viera95]

if you use the air foxx and you plan on hanging it use 3 sprinkler nozzles.

[@whoopskaboom]

Great video, really clear directions, thanks! Any thoughts on how/if it would be possible to convert this to a cannon like Foam Cannon For Sale 2-in-1 Foam Machine, Foam Party System? Thanks! :)

[@Viera95]

just put another blower fan under the foam machine it makes a really cool "snow" effect that i think is way better. check out my company page ill post a video. facebook.com/xylofoam

[@whoopskaboom]

Jeffry Viera Too cool! Great idea, thanks!

[@adamm.michael7500]

I was thinking would a blower from a big bounce house work?

[@brandonlee3982]

Could I use a 1/2 HP blower?

[@19atiq98]

aircond?

[@jwfestas4302]

Qual tipo de sabão que você usa

[@leooutthenavy]

Do you need to adjust the flow of spray on the nozzles? All I am getting is a ton of water coming out of the bag and very little bubbles. Also water is draining from my tank way too fast. Any advice?

[@Viera95]

The nozzles on my machine didn’t need adjustment. I would say if anything I opened them up wider then the factory setting. I think there’s 3 possibilities for your problem. 1. It’s possible your pump is too powerful you can test this by kinking the hose to temporarily limit the flow of foam solution to see if that helps things. 2. your soap mixture isn’t strong enough or your using the wrong type of soap. Use blue ultra dawn at a 2% mixture to water for testing. So that’s about 2 cups of soap for 5gal of water. 3. If none of the above work it’s likely that your fan is not powerful enough I tried making a foam machine out of a small probably 1/4hp carpet dryer fan one time and all that came poring out of it when testing was a lot of soapy water much like what your describing. check the horsepower of your fan. the fan I like to use is that 1hp model that I linked in the discerption Hope this helps you. If you have any more questions I’m here.

[@leooutthenavy]

Jeffry Viera thank you for quick response. My fan I know is powerful enough at 1 hp 4400 cfm. The pump might be too powerful at 1/4 hp. I will add a valve inline to throttle back the flow and make sure my solution is at the proper percentage.

[@leooutthenavy]

Jeffry Viera it appears the mesh I was using was not letting enough air through. It was forcing air, water and bubbles through the fan out the suction side of the fan.

[@Viera95]

shaun hernandez humm that’s not good, what fabric are you using for the bag? Weedblock like I have a link to in the description? Also how long is the bag? The ones I make hang about 1.5feet from the front of the fan. if you make the bag bigger that would be more surface area for the water and air to pass through.

[@Martin_Vail_Esq.]

Can you convert this to a “snowfall” machine?

[@dylxnchn]

*yes you can*

[@the454guy]

Hey boss have you ever tried baby oil for the foam ? Instead of coanut oil ?

[@madison2]

N 7 how?

[@Dave0oo]

What song is that at the party? 9:00

[@zingsthings]

Some recommend J Lube. Is it needed?

[@alexmarks3883]

His partner uses the jacking lube on him so not for this build it won't be.

[@robinmercer9887]

does it matter the length of the bag and do you use warm or cold water?

[@Viera95]

I use Cold water. I’m worried warm would over heat the pump. I haven’t personally tested a larger bag so I’m not sure what would happen but other people have commented that it does not work as well. I try to keep them about 1 - 1.5 foot long

[@Viera95]

3000gph is just what the company advertizes the pump at but in the fine print you learn that figure is only with the pump running without a garden house adapter or hose attached to it. when you add the hose adapter plus 25feet of hose going 10feet into the air that's where you lose the pumps output. There is a company that makes a inline soap mixer, i can send you a link for but i don't know how well it works.

[@dirtydukeV]

My foam machine is not working. I have ample sump pump (don't know exact specs but it will shoot water like a fire hose out of swimming pool) with a 1hp/ 4000 cfm fan (much like one in your video). I used 2 irrigation sprinkler heads and the foam recipe in your video. I also used the landscape barrier for the bag. The only real difference is sprinkler heads protrude further out of fan opening 4-6".Problem is water not foam cascades out membrane. Some weak foam/bubbles produced. Theories?

[@fahimkasmani5727]

how do u make a cannon out of this?

[@FannyMartinez]

Hey jeff, can you please share the full description all the products. Thank you!

[@DrLauraRPalmer]

It’s in the video m. People need to watch the video he took his time to make and write out their own list.

[@chaiyapat389]

Great work! I'd ask you 2 questions if you could help me before I start building this thing 1) you're basically put soap liquid (mixture with water) into the input hose to the water pump yeah? and it's safe for water pump?? ( I think it's design for just water so im not sure) 2) How do you avoid the backward foam flow back into the air blower? I guess the power from blower never allow foam to go backward BUT weed carpet can also block some foam inside as there're very tiny holes and then resulting in backward flow Thanks a lot! i dont want to break the machine as they both are $$$

[@Johnlwin67]

Very good n useful

[@mosesleeadams]

Here is video of my foam machine. (youtube/9UHiXjZL3rs) I used 3 sprinkler heads and there is about 10 gallans with one bottle of Dawn. Tough part for me was getting the metal fan shield off as it was on with a rivot. Just drilled it out and replaced it with toggle bolt so I can very easy remove again. Even though the first attempt I did not attach the hose (lol) you can see I used a male to male adapter and went to half inch pvc pipe and easy to hook up and remove. Many Thanks!!!

[@christianiglesias89]

I think my question is a little silly but okay, so the hose is attached to the pipes with the sprinklers and the other end of the hose? To a tank w soap I’m guessing?

[@Daniel-pe2cv]

Yes, A sump pump submerged in a bucket/trashcan/barrel of water with 2% soap. (dish soap)

[@rogerhart5102]

can you have too much power? 5000cfm?

[@suzandunham6579]

Approximately how long will 40 gallons of water last?

[@02slm]

Hey - thank for a very well detailed video! Quick question that most people will not tell you when you are building a foam machine. You had mentioned a shrub sprinkler kit but about the nozzle threads. This where we went wrong building our foam machine - found out that you really need the nozzles/thread adapters that produced really fine mist. Can be costly buying the professional misting nozzles.... However, your nozzles works with 1/2" thread adapters to fit sprinkler heads. I'm going to try to make our foam machine again using your video. Also we used metal pipe and should of went with PVC...?

[@cactuscrawford]

Hey mate, Awesome stuff... My question is regarding the pump/water output. Your pump is 3000gal/hr but the actually output at the nozzles is around 300gal/hr. Why? Where does the rest go? It seems like a huge difference. The normal mains water supply here is roughly 5.5gal/min, so if i could mix the fluid inline do i even need a water pump? Or is the 5.5gal/min going to end up more like .5gal/min somehow related to my earlier question?

[@cherylm2C6671]

[@miaisabelle5772]

[@DrLauraRPalmer]

No. Did you watch the video? He clearly stated 1HP or more

Thanks for the video. Do you prefer dawn liquid soap over foam daddy solution or your homemade solution?

[@Viera95]

If it is my own private foam party then dawn would work fine. If I was doing a professional party then I would go for a better soap like the foam daddy soap. My home made soap Is honestly to time consuming for me to make right now but I would use it for a professional party before I’d use the dish soap.

the best soap i have used recently is made by Foam Yeti. just type that in to Google and you should find there site.

[@discjockeyallen]

My little one had that problem. the sprinkler heads were spraying the water out of the heads and through the fabric. Instead of the weeb barrier fabric, i'm using an old tshirt. My pump is 1/12 hp simer pump. My blower is an old sears leaf blower - about 500cfm.

[@fredfon]

Please people-if you are going to hang this machine over people's heads-use hardware and slings specifically made for this purpose. Don't simply use rope tied to a tree as shown in this video. It is incredibly dangerous. Also, use a foam solution specifically made for foam party machines. Dishwashing liquid can be very drying to the skin, causing irritation in some people, and will certainly sting the eyes of most people.

[@Viera95]

i agree with you about the soap although the pro soap will burn your eyes also i definitely prefer to use it. I've never had a problem with my machines coming loose but now when i do foam party's i no longer hang the machines over the crowd instead i blast the foam out to the crowd.
