Abstract

An electrical heating apparatus incorporates a smoke effect apparatus having a container (28) for liquid, an ultrasonic transducer (36) submerged in liquid within the container and an apertured bed (46, 47, 48) located above the transducer. When the transducer is actuated clouds of water vapour resembling smoke are produced. The clouds of water vapour are drawn upwardly in a current of air induced by a fan heater (52) located above the apertured bed, which gives the impression that smoke is originating from the bed in the manner of a fire.
