Well there is a company which makes muffler with smoke connectors, all you need to do is just connect the pipe from your smoke pump and it start working. Check out the website SLIMLINE, just look for the make of the engine you plan to use smoke with and it will show you the option. Yes there is a home made way also, but I have noticed that it does not work very well. All you need to do is get a 3 or 4 mm brass tube, drill very small random holes in the tube and then insert at least 1 or 2 inch inside the muffler and solder all around, lease at least 10cm so that you can connect the smoke pipe.

No idea, but I will look on the net and find you some details. As far as my knowledge about smoke is that, hoter the muffler becomes you bet denser and better smoke, bet in case of electric airplanes I have no clue what they use, and how do they heat the smoke liquid before releasing it in the air ?

I don't think so. Use Google to search, I guess that the best.
