Salvage Fusing 1). As a last resort, it detonates in "hopes" of killing the target. 2). Also, detonates when it detects that its destruction is eminent.

	Industrial Strength

Spray; Misting, Foging Nozzle; Water Droplets:


Combination Nozzle	Using Combination Style Nozzle

Smooth Bore Nozzle: for Solid Water Streams


	Input diameter to output orifice is 2:1

with Solid Stream Nozzle

Stream Straightener:

Helps to extends Nozzle's Reach before Stream break-up.

Nozzle Reaction:
Newton's Third Law of Motion, "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." This is the reason you see two or three firemen manning one hand line.

Continuity Equation: (Conservation of Mass)
Among other things, the Continuity Equation predicts that a stream of water leaving a faucet will narrow as it falls--an accelerating stream contracts. This property should aid Stream Integrity for AWCS' 135° Downward angle.

Fig. 1
Continuity Equation states that the Mass (water) entering a pipe of n" diameter, is the same as the Mass exiting a pipe of m" diameter (n" is twice as large as m"), and the velocity of the Mass is increased by the ratio n : m, that is, in this example the velocity has doubled.

From the above: if the Mass is subject to gravity it will accelerate, which has the same effect as if the Mass were traveling through a pipe of decreasing diameter. see Fig. 2
