Diy random flow nosel?

[mushrommy]

Hi there, I was looking into random flow nosels and I think my birds nest, hammer, nems, and ext would love it. Though I'm broke. So is there any way to make this at home? It'd be a really cool project!

Do you have any spare nozzles that fit your existing one?

Maybe, I need to double check.

Seems like a perfectly good excuse to buy a 3D printer.

I'm broke

In that case, a Spin Stream (or something similar) for $20-$30 bucks is probably going to be your best bet. I can't say I've ever seen a homemade random flow generator that wasn't 3D printed.

Can watch the whole video but the part you’re interested in watching is at the 8:00 minute mark. If you can make this happen it will get you by for quite some time

He says it accelerates the water, does that mean causing random flow?

Interesting video.

No, what it does is makes the water exit the nozzle faster. Like putting your finger over the end of a garden hose to make it spray. It reduces the opening and increases the pressure.

One could kinda tweak the leaves of the clover a little to maybe angle them to spin the water a bit if that makes sense. This is something I was going to try. I did make a few of these and made them symmetrical, they do a nice job of making the flow into a mish mash of three water streams. As you play around with it, try injecting air from a syringe into the stream so you can watch the microbubbles.
