So, how about a smoke candle stub in a wire-cage, and one of those
little RC helicopters?

Or a smoke-ring blower (takes an oatmeal can and a rubber-glove and
a bit of string) on a stick? You can aim the smoke-ring in still
air...

It doesn't have to be 'official' equipment, does it?

A lot of air movement with helicopter but I like the vortex generator idea.
Ascending to heaven in a stable interior environment should work very well,
those vortexes travel great distance before distorting or deviating
