1. A smoke capturing system comprising:
(a) a smoke trap chamber for precipitating smoke dispersed in said smoke trap chamber, said chamber comprising:
(1) a bottom pool for comprising a reservoir of a liquid solvent;
(2) a gas filled portion, comprising:
(I) a lower smog portion containing droplets of said liquid solvent and into which the smoke is introduced;
(II) an upper clear portion in which a concentration of said smoke and said droplets is decreased, respective of their concentration in said smog portion; and
(III) a fog condenser disposed between said smog portion and said clear portion, wherein said fog condenser is configured to precipitate said droplets in said smog portion into said pool; and
(3) a fine mist generator for streaming a jet of droplets of said liquid solvent mixed with said smoke, toward a concentration of said smoke in smog portion, said fine mist generator, comprising:
(I) a fixed bottom element emerging upward from a bottom floor of said bottom pool, comprising a first head disposed above a liquid level of said solvent in said reservoir, said first head positioned at a first distance from a fixed bottom of said bottom floor, said first head comprising an inlet-opening through which a jet stream of said closed loop gas circulator is continuously injected into said smog portion;
(II) an upper element, either stationary or movable, partially immersed in said reservoir of said solvent, said upper element comprising a second head comprising an outlet opening disposed in the path of said jet stream, wherein said second head is positioned at a second distance from the fixed bottom of said bottom floor, wherein said second distance is greater than said first distance such that a gap is disposed between said fixed bottom element and said upper element, said gap operative to create a negative pressure upon streaming of the jet of droplets of said liquid solvent mixed with said smoke, and wherein the upper element further comprises an injector fitted onto said outlet-opening through which said jet stream continuously spurts prior to entering said smog portion, and
(III) a surface positioned in front of said injector of said upper element for enhancing smoke association or dissolution in said solvent by breaking down said droplets of said jet stream upon hitting said surface into liquid droplets and smoked derived droplets and particles;
(b) a closed loop gas circulator for withdrawing said gas from said clear portion and recirculating said gas under pressure through said fine mist generator into said smog portion; and
(c) a smoke conveying conduit for conveying fresh smoke into said gas circulator.
