What you are describing is a classic particle generator system, the physics
and mathematics of which are beyond my simple abilities. You might be able
to combine Chris Colefax's liquid spray include file and his object exploder
include file tied in with his clockmod animation include file to achieve such
an effect. No gaurantees from me whether this suggestion has any real merit.

See - http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/1434/#IncludeFiles

Other people in these groups have been working on particle systems but
I don't recall anyone releasing them for public use and remain in private
hands.
