Low Smoke Extraction System

As Ed skimmed over the genius invention that is our "Low Smoke Extraction System" or LSES. I thought it would be timely to divulge some more information about the whole affair.

The basics are quite simple - it consists of seven small steel decks (built in a very similar manner to the main decks) which are approximately 4 foot wide by 1 deep. These bolt onto the front edge of the main stage area.

Mounted on the underside of each deck is a "Low Smoke Extraction System Module". Each module consists of 4 x 92mm low noise, high capacity fans. Each module has a power supply input on one end and a power thru on the other end which enables all the modules to be daisy chained together.

As the show approaches the point at which low smoke is needed the fans are switched on, Neil crawls into place with the Low Smoke Ducting and the LSG (low Smoke Generator) is fired up the low smoke cascades across the stage and upon reaching the LSES is sucked down under the stage and away from harm.

Here's a picture...



cheers,
Sven
