Make your Own Foam Machine!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2010
- Alrighty, been searching around for a good video tutorial on how to make a decent cheap foam machine, couldn't find one. So i decided to make my own.
Uhh.. Sorry for all the sniffling and stuff, i have really bad allergies and i had to mow my grandma's grass just before this... -_-
If you have any questions, or suggestions on how to make this better... Post a comment or send me a message. Thanks! :)

Thanks to you I saved 500 bucks by not renting a foam pit. I'm having a foam party this friday for my birthday! Thanks a lot man! I'll post a vid!
I have used this soap blower multiple times now. Thanks so much for posting. It has been the hit of many kid parties.
It makes a difference to the strength and insulation value of the air-Crete, how much foam and how much water are used. If goal is structural strength, need less foam, less water. If goal is insulating, more foam. About 2 cups Dawn dish soap per 5 gallons of water, spun to a thick foam that has lots of body, is proportion that goes with about a 92pound sack of Portland slurries in about 6 gallons of water. The reason for using Dawn dish soap, is because it forms far better foam (stronger, thicker) than most other soaps.
We bought everything and we try tomorrow in my garden ! We can't wait and are f*cking excited !!!! Wooohooooo Wanna see our vid ? Thumbs up and we upload our homemade foam machine !
I'm so happy watching this
From ur simple method I devised another relatively simple foam maker gun. I'll post soon. Thanks again
LOL thanks , and i'm glad to hear your still alive and post your new version i would like to see it work.
@SirjuShinelle actually, i found that any sort of blowing device works, leaf blowers, things like that. just don't let the water get into it or you will be electrocuted.
Sweet video! Excellent work and this might be one of the better tutorial videos I have seen, funny stuff man. Throwin a 21st pre bar party for my good friend. I will be making my basement a giant foam pit. Thanks!!
this is really cool thatk u :D i was going to have a foam party for my 13th birthday but good foam machines r like 500$! but i can juts home-make 1 now:) thanks
Yo dude I commented on this 9 years ago and trying to find it every since for nostalgias sake, remember how I thought you so cool with the "shoot shoot" part. Peace dude
WOW! Thank you man, I made this video 10 years ago, I was only 17 years old when we filmed this. Your comment just made my week, I really never thought anyone would care to watch this.. the fact that it just gave you nostalgia is mind blowing to me.
That shop vac was ancient it was just an extra one we had lying around the house. :) cheers man! :D
great video,can we use this foam for making clc blocks
DUDEEEEEEEE YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE THANK YOU SO MUCH IM GONNA THROW THIS PARTY AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE HOW TO DO THIS THING THANKS AND GREETINGS FROM MEXICO
I love his nonchalant attitude about everything! Lolx!:-)
Asia Hobson somebody's crushing I see lol lol
Very cool! Remember to be safe with water and electricity and especially around children, I have been shocked by this setup a few times when I didn't monitor my electrical connections.
Thanks for the kind words man! I try to keep myself busy with things that help develop my brain! :)
Digging that music
Thanks alot! It's awesome, tried it yesterday!
lol...that's pretty amazing. I'll have to give it a shot.
What song was that?
Damn dude! this is awesome, just tryed it, works great!
thanks for the cool instructional video!
Very well Done ! It gave me a great idea for Halloween 2010 !
not gonna lie... ive got at least a hundred different ideas watching these vids by now.... that was badass prob one of the best. im still laughin at you guys that was awesome
Hilltop hoods representing Australia! yewwwwwwwwwwwww!
great vid dude enjoyed it.
Hey man, thanks for the video, it really cleared out the way it works...
can you tell me the power of the blower you've used?
how many watts the motor gives...
thanks a lot!
😳😯Wow !!!!🗣I LOVE IT 😍
@Aidanlaad hahaha thanks man! i also found that sheets work very well too because they are larger then towels and are easier to tie down... (just fold it over itself and double layer it)
What model this blower, or its specification?
ya dude, we made two of them, put them on my trampoline and filled the entire trampoline with foam. WORKS PERFECT!
dude you're a saint lol I'm throwing a foam party at my house next month, and I got a 3.0 hp shop vac, do you think that'll be powerful enough to make a nice amount of foam?
@weirdtop360 yeah dude i found out the tow strap thing. and no i dont have any stronger blowers lying around, and now i'm at college, so no foam parties in here. lol
Lol! This would make a great prank or bubble bath!
@TheBurningTot Oh hell. I didn't even notice the song in the description. Thanks!
As for suggestions:
Have you tried using a more powerful vac/blower? (maybe even an electric leaf blower?)
lol...and get a ratchet strap to hold that towel on, man.
ahah alright i'll post a new version when it gets a little warmer out here, its still hitting 35 degrees here in michigan :(
Good video and kindly note if the air pressure is 5to6bar you get the strength in the foam.
awesome
looks like your chilling on top of a cloud
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm trying to do a foam party for my birthday BTW: You're really cute. ;-)
Sorry what of pumps do you use to generate foam and to send foam to cement sand water syrup
anyone remember that episode of the brady bunch when they put too much detergent in the washing machine?
What kind of shop vac did you use?? how long does it last before you need to refill it?? Great video by the way thanks for sharing :)
The type of shop-vac does not matter, the important part is that your shop vac has an accessible output nozzle that blows the vac's exhaust outwards.
Thank you!
lovely man just lovely..
Yo Dude,
Have you tried using this foam for making Air-Crete?
where can i buy the shop vac that your using in the video from? or a website? thanks :)
@goodmaro Yeah, i've always wanted to try it with an actual foam solution but i've just been too cheap. how much do you sell it for and whats the water to solution ratio?
So cool
@HighOnSharpies93 we had a hose in the basement with a french drain so it was easy. Tried to use organic soap to make sure we were not shoving a lot of chemicals down the french drain
With this setup the machine is as loud as the blower you use. Also note that the foam will only last for about an hour. After that it dries out and forms a sort of foam "cloud" but its not the same. Its hard to describe. Good luck though! :)
Cool!
Hey man, do you think this would work with a leaf blower instead of a shop vac?thanks^.^
how come your shop vac blows air, mine just sucks are in. can you somehow make it blow air out?
No problem man! Remember, be safe with electricity and water and party on!
I call that a success!
yeah I know what you mean I ended up just going ahead and trying it out myself, it worked awesome but I guess I didn't take your warning about getting electrocuted as seriously as I probably should have haha. It was still awesome though man thanks :)
@activeprotection thanks man, I'm using it for my grad party.
Ive got 2 questions for you dude: 1) was that all of the foam you were able to get out of that much water and soap; and 2) how long did the foam last (or does it go away pretty quick).
tnx men i have years whant to bild a foam machine
How longwill it last b4 you have to refill it wit more water and soap?
next time do it with a helium tank in place of the shop vac... :-D
Hi! Think you is possible to use an air compressor instead of a shop vac blows air?
fucking brilliant!! LMAO Its just what I need to make foam to mix with concrete. lol easy I've watched number of recent videos how to make a foam gun. can't believe the answer was posted 2010. thanks
Same! Lol
@TheBurningTot yea i figured that out after i commented
and yes if ghetto is cheaper then renting a foam machine for $800 (and it is) then ghetto is A LOT better
thanks once again
@tjhallrower wicked man! thats what im here for, tell me how it turns out! :D
Question: does anyone know if this would be safe to have around an in ground pool? Like would it be bad if the soap got into the pool?
so if I wanted to pull a prank with this would it be so loud that it wakes up the entire neighborhood?
Haha i guess thanks man! :P
Is there a version of your method for adults?
making it today!
@amsterdamhero
Thanks. :)
My little brother did all the editing, he uses... Pinnacle Studio 14 i think.
Okay disinterested, tough guy say it...."BUBBLES!!!!!!"
Why not use pressure mini compressor?
looks like i know what my sweet sixteen party is gonna be like woot woot ready to party
Sorry for the late response, yes I've got ideas for a foam blaster but I lack the funds to attempt it so its on the back burner until I can mad scientist some more.. haha
You can use drum cover rim
...and we still don't have a good tutorial on the subject. BLOW YOUR FREAKING NOSE.
Do you have a link where I can buy a nice affordable shop vac 1hp from I am not sure what to get please help
whats that machine called that u attached to the pipe
This is *sniff* how you make a *sniff* foam machine. (6 minutes and a 100 sniffs later) Yeah, *sniff* didn't really work because *sniff* you can't really practice it. (3 more minutes of bubbles and loud rap) Uuuh *sniff* yeah, next time I probably should have used the right equipment but *sniff* it was free.
@Rhinowest11 nice man! good luck! :D
Hey man thanks a ton! Sorry for the slow response I've been pretty busy lately. I hope i helped inspire you! :)
lmfao thanks for your input, for your information I've made a much safer much more efficient version. Also, i am still alive, and yes your correct, i have been shocked using this method but that was the main reason i changed it. ALSO, thank you for the fashion tips sir. you truly are a magnificent person! :)
You should be an actor
what happens if you put more water in the barrel ?? instead of having to refill the barrel all the time ?
What’s the black blower thing called 😂
@tjhallrower Was it messy to clean?
wow this is the most ghetto thing ive ever seen... but holy shit it actually works!! thanks for the tutorial.
ps whats the black thing?
Is there any other way you can make your foam without using the shopvac?
@weirdtop360 alright, if you have any questions let me know. and check the description.
Hey man I hope I caught you in time, Yes the shopvac in the video only had about 1 horsepower so 3 should be more then enough!
@zacurtici never got around to trying it with a professional solution, im headed to school next week so theres not gonna be much time for me to work on it. : (
Hey sorry I havent gotten back to you, the shopvac in the video only had about 1 HP in it.
hey do the bubbles last long
