On the other hand, by the operation of the high pressure gas supply source and the high pressure liquid supply source, the mist injected from the nozzle is supercooled by the cooling action of the low temperature outside air and is frozen to form an ice layer on the surface of the structure. By continuing the operation of the high pressure gas source and the high pressure liquid source, a new ice layer is repeatedly formed on the ice layer. Therefore, if the hollow structure is an artificial tree, it is possible to realize and enjoy rime and frost without being restricted by the region and the place.
