Thing is, that diagram fails to show how the air is exhausted around the shower head. If you have a sealed container with a fan blowing in, it won't do anything except maybe move the air around inside. While I agree that yes, there is water pressure, the pressure is a result of gravity opposing the flow of water in an upward direction. IE you would need a pump whose output was directly hooked up to the misters, and those misters require much more pressure than our pumps can handle. Water cooling pumps simply move water, they don't pressurize it.


was just an example on how the fan would be mounted, as a intake, rather exhaust. Not going into details on how the whole system works.

I think you need to read up a bit more on fluid dynamics. All pumps including water pumps, are designed to move a certain amount of liquid, in this case we are talking about water, so the impeller or rotor moves X amount of water. The pump itself doesn't make pressure it simply just moves a volume of water. What makes the pressure is the restriction in the system. Same way pressure washers work, they pump water, but then constrain it to a small opening the result is high pressure. Same thing with a water mister, or shall i just say small orifice that allows water to pass. Now what i think you meant to say is that that water pumps designed for liquid cooling a pc are not made to hold up to high pressures, which may or may not be true depending on what pump it is.

Misters in this case don't need high pressures (higher the pressure the finner the mist) , they just need water, now they work a lot better with higher pressures, but not needed (just be forewarned it would be a dripple instead of a fine mist) . Simple way to setup something like this is have the pump output drive the misters while the rest of the system is plumbed to the bottom of the bong/ reservoir. Back to the pump. Would likely require two reservoirs one just before the pump, and one at the bottom of the bong.

I dunno food for thought.

This is one of the most impressive and creative builds-ideas, I have witnessed in a very long time.thumb.gif
