Historic CPS-device - from the 1960s?!

Check out the following link: NY Times Query

Hopefully that link works properly. Looks like engineers at MIT held a neat soaking concept that vanished until more recently (suddenly, Water Worms are coming to mind).

Of course, for the home-made builder, these things are probably easier and cheaper to build than store-bought devices.

It can't be! It's a Continuity Error! Err... :p

Cool find!

You have to build? Sounds like all they did was tie off an end and hold the other end shut! That I do suppose is a water gun though, you have your pressure source and valve. This reminds me of some USENET postings I once read from 1990 (of course, just recently read), describing a similar CPS device using bike tubes.

CPS apparently isn't so original!

Ok, 'build' was the wrong term. I should've said 'make'.

In my head, I was thinking about building a more regulated nozzle and firing mechanism sort of like the Water-Worm nozzle or something more akin to a CPS-Splashzooka with a trigger instead of just squeezing the opening closed. Of course, the device talked about in the article is pretty much just a piece of tubing with one end tied and the other held closed. Got ahead of myself in thought versus what I was typing. :p
