Multi Volume Nozzle
« on: December 06, 2008, 09:21:54 PM »
Over on the other site, someone asked of an "on the fly adjustable nozzle", to be able to tune the nozzle for different uses, anyone ever seen one of these?, I made one back in the day and did get it to work OK, but did not get very far.

I still have the one I made, and I also know where I went wrong (could never get the reverse gate to work for beans).

Any thoughts? I would love to build this thing and get it to market, but don't know if it is something that is "needed", It didn't work the way I thought it would, in fact quite the opposite, but worked just the same...

Any input would be greatly appreciated, also if you have seen one, let me know.

Thanks.

I give up. I've been looking thru Hot Boat mags for 2 hours now. Futs put up a flyer on one and I know HB did a write up on one, not sure if it was the same. It was even in thier calender that year.  I'm almost positive it was debut on the back of a 20' Carrera Eclipse and was at the LA show.  :banghead: :banghead:

Just curious, why did this not take off, too much money? The one I built was super simple and seemed like a good idea, that thing looks like a blue nightmare...

Thanks for posting!

  I saw one in the jet ski forums. This one had a cone that slide back with water pressure to make your nozzle smaller to increase the pressure. The article said there was GREAT improvement in performance. I think that if you have anything that you say will make your equipment 2 mph faster, someone will buy it. Just my .02, from a drag boat guy, if that’s worth anything.

We too have pondered this and even done some research , but the fact is that the expnese vs return to mass R&D, produce and market far outweighs the profit , Don Bower told me as I recall that the patent alone on the inducer was 30 g's (not to mentions production costs) and then defending the product against "knock offs" etc  Tom
