    Default Khattak's Laminar Flow Nozzle Project

    Hi,
    Here is my Laminar nozzle with 6 inch Diameter pipe. I have to add a Pre-filter with 4" Diameter pipe so that i only have to clean that and not disassembling of complete nozzle. Cutter and RGB lighting is still in progress.
    The nozzle is connected to tap water with low pressure so the laminar arc is small... Actual arc is 5.8 feet high and almost 12feet long.


    I left woodwork due to office work.

    Never ever possible with garden hose pipe alone..Just try and tell us your experience... this is laminar flow, a crystal clear... If if introduce a light at one end it will travel and reach at another end..i will not able to see the lighting in the middle of the flow...
    The laminar flow is difficult to achieve at long distances... Just see the following video what can be acheieved :

    Khalid,

    I had to laugh. I built one of these a couple of months ago. I am still looking at the high power LED to light it up. I used rubber spline for window screens to make the O-rings for the top and bottom. Cut to length and glued the ends with superglue. Worked great with no leaks.

    I trued the ends of the PVC and cut the acrylic end caps on the ShopBot.

    With this being able to transfer light like it does why couldnt it transfer data like a fiber optic cable ? i have seen one of these at Disney theeme park. Very nice for a home project
