My dad just taught me to exhale a visible cloud of fog smoke, etc, by keeping a high pressure in my mouth, and basically I want to know how this can happen and can any of you do it.

You mean when it's not cold?
When it is not cold. I am in my house, and despite my mother and I protesting that it is "freezing!" in here, dad had established earlier that it was a languid 72.
Maybe you're just a dragon.
Haha, thats cool. Teach us master
Dang. It is my Chinese zodiac thing or whatever, after all!
I'm very interested in knowing how. xD
Maybe you should change your user title too "Like a Dragon". Just a thought :rolleyes2
Seriously guys; I was wanting Unne or Yams to come along and tell me exactly what this was :(
Were they Marlboros or Kools?
I can't do it.
Yes, I will not be associated with a "pop" drinker.
Answer: Your dad doesn't know how to read a thermometer or you're boiling your own saliva. There needs to be a discernible difference between the ambient temperature and the gas (carbon dioxide) your exhaling in order to see gas molecules in the air with the naked eye.
nahh...doesnt work...im not stinky...im cool...
Well, my dad reads thermometers for a living (air conditioning & heating repair man!) so I don't think it's that :O

The reason for that is that the gas compresses more at lower temperatures, so therefore it would be possible to see the exhaled gas for a split second in normal temperatures, if you compress it enough in your mouth.
But you'd have to have a very powerful mouth to actually do that, so I'm going with the temperature explanation.
It can't possibly get that hot, because you only compress it for like a second. I was trying to do it too long (here's a hint kids, if you start feeling light headed from lack of air, you're too long) so I kept failing, but if you just press your lips and put pressure on it, you can see if it you let it out slow enough.
I can't imagine that it seriously has anything to do with the temperature. Itw as like 70-75 degrees out today, and it was happening. You can't see it outside because the light isn't good, but all our doors were open so it was about that warm in the house too.
OMG! My friend at school was doing that today! I know what your talking about he was being stubid and said he was smoking air and I was like holy [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]! He didn't teach me how to do it and im sad. I was just about to start a thread like that too im glad I read this thread cuz then i would have felt like an idiot.
So event though i saw a friend doing it I have no clue how thats happening but its crazy! At first I just saw him tumbling on the ground saying he can smoke the air and i was like what and idiot and then he did! I was amazed!
I've seen it happen on warm days, so either my friends have smoke in their lungs, or it's possible to compress/whatever the air.
It will be more impressive if you can teach me how to breath fire so that I can use it on NANNY MANUS. :bigsmile:
I think you're just forming a cloud in your mouth.
My friend and I do that with plastic water bottles sometimes. :D Just twist and twist until heat from the friction of your hands rubbing builds up inside the bottle, and as it shrinks down, the pressure goes up and as long as there's some stray dust particles or something in there, a cloud-thing comes out once you shoot the cap off. :D It's just the water vapor that condensed.
I think I saw something like this on Bill Nye as well.
