Bicycle Bubble Machine

Back to Circoflexi Information

While I continue to work occasionally on my own wind driven Bubble Machines, I occasionally go to the big department stores to look at what sort of bubble machines are available. This time I was suprised to find an actual wind driven bubble machine on the toy shelves in the lead up for christmas 1996.

The only catch is that the bubble machines was for attaching to a bicycle handle bar, and is at the end of a long arm to postion the bubble generator to one side of the rider. It was also cheap compared to some of the buble toys you usally find on the shelves.

Details (from a netsearch and product instructions):

First thing I found out was the long arm out to one side of the machine forms a reservior for bubble fluid so the machine can hold more. This means that unit is asymetrical.

I am be using the bracket provided to sit it on a pole, high enough to get a good wind, and out of reach of little hands.

I hope that enough interest in this device will create feedback to the `Poof Toy Company' to create a simular wind driven generator more suitable for us kite fliers!.

Update

If you are interesting in battery powered bubble machines I suggest you look for a comerical bubble machines are available from theatrical supply shops either for rent or for purchase.
