1 MEET THE MAGICFX® CO2JET II!
ANGLE VIEWING
AND SECURING
The MAGICFX® CO2JET II is a special eects machine that blasts CO2 into the air.
The MAGICFX® CO2JET II is equipped with a CO2 powered rotating nozzle. A solenoid
valve controls the supply of liquid CO2 to the nozzle. From the nozzle, the CO2 escapes
through the output pipe. A blast of escaping CO2 is accompanied by a strong hissing
sound and a white plume of fog will be visible from the output pipe. The output pipe
with nozzle can be set in an angle.
The MAGICFX® CO2JET II is equipped with several holes for mounting of the unit to a
stage or to a truss with a truss clamp and for attaching safety cables. Furthermore the
MAGICFX® CO2JET II is suited for simultaneous activation of multiple units by creating
a power link.
