i still cant figure out too well how you are doing the exit channels of the water. care to give us some build drawings or something.

how far can the jet exits be from the beginning of the baseplate. atm i haev a copper stock with bars of 1cm or 1/3" thickness. if i go for a BP thickness of 3mm, then there is 7mm drilled away. can the jet effect reach over that 7mm void, or will effectiveness be lost.

thx


"reading" the image from left right is bottom layer to top layer.

the 4 pipes are 2 intakes and 2 exhausts, each the pairs diagonally oppose each other, the intake pipes only penetrate through the very top layer and "empty" into the 6mm thick cavity, feeding the 9 jet holes, the exhaust pipes (lol almost typed port, old starwars nerd) penetrate all the way down through the jet layer, and create an escape route for the water after the jet's have done their thing.

My jet's are currently traversing 3mm+3.5mm=6.5mm so I can't see an extra .5mm being an issue. You can actually use touch to roughly gauge how "powerfull" the jet's are v distance while underwater by directing the jet's at your finger or forearm (also under water)

I'm going to expand this current design to the pattern that big ben posted earlier (4 extra holes) but I probably won't be able to see the difference that it will make.
