Appareil alimenté par de l'eau sous pression contenant le pourcentage voulu d'émulsifiant, et qui aspire de l'air en quantité suffisante pour former de la mousse physique ou mécanique, ou mousse à air. 1, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20%C3%A0%20mousse%20physique

Les émulseurs sont des produits qui ajoutés à l'eau permettent d'obtenir de la mousse au moyen de lances spéciales ou des générateurs. Il s'agit donc de la mousse «physique». La mousse dite «chimique», dont la fabrication est pratiquement abandonnée, résultait de la réaction d'un produit acide sur un produit basique. Cette mousse était particulièrement corrosive. 2, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20%C3%A0%20mousse%20physique
