Bubble Generators for Kites
One whole area of the Workshop seems to be devoted to the
development and construction of some sort of bubble generator to be carried
by a kite.
Spread around the bench are containers, motors, loops, fans, and of course
lots of foamy, slippery fluid, you assume is bubble mix.
In the middle of all this a large note reads...

Comerical bubble machines are available from
theatrical supply shops either for rent or for purchase. These can be
battery or mains powered and will generate enormous numbers of bubbles.
I suggest you mount a battery powered machine on a pole, otherwise kids
tend to stand in front and just get plastered with saop (to the parents
discomfort). I also suggest you run such a machine for a few minutes
each hour so that the novality does not pale with time.
