Functionality

It's quite accurate to think of the Genuine Imitation Steam Controller™ as three separate imitation steam generators in one machine. Each of its three channels are completely independent of one another. The isolation of each channel prevents feedback and interference amongst the ouputs and is key to its precision. close up view of Steam Controller controlsThe dial gauges associated with each channel are also quite sensitive and their readings allow one to note even minute adjustments for future reference.

The Steam Controller is direct acting, i.e. the imitation steam is simultaneously generated and fed to set. This is why one can instantly observe even slight adjustments to the steam level.

The imitation steam generated is exactly the volume needed and will not fill the set with haze, especially if you take advantage of the fact that you can simply turn off the Steam Controller between shots. You'll be right back where you left off with the flick of a switch.

The imitation steam emitted is not hot, so it won't damage hero food nor is it smelly or harmful for the crew to inhale. The steam is not wet. It consists of vaporized oil droplets that will not accumulate on your hero food or pool up on the set. This machine will run for hours on a single filling of safe, food grade, non-toxic cracker fluid.
