I would think someone would have thought about this already, I'm not taking physics so forgive my assumptions about water flow, thrust etc. but, If I were to say... take a 12" I.D. 24" section of PVC Pipe filled about 85% of the way, 6^2*3.14*24/231*.85 = so about 10 gallons, 80 pounds of water for our purposes. The remainder being air pressurized to about 200psi, the water then going through an opening of about 3in^2, for every square inch i should get 200 pounds of thrust to start with, so 600 total right off the bat, and then dropping off rapidly thereafter? Any corrections/comments, would this work?
