Next job is to make the cover! Out of a blue plastic 45 gallon drum bottom! ;D
I think an apt name is 'The Tornado' :)
-
wicked!! love it! often wondered about this myself! could be a handy tool
how about the Apache as a name, as in the helicopters lol
-
Go to a plastic forming place. Get a proper one made
Your a nutter, but id buy one ;D
-
We'll test with a drum bottom first, that way we can determine how deep it needs to be.
:)

Video is update as the first was cut for some reason. Click again

You must have a lot of spare time :P answer to your question - No we dont

Cheers pal. Yeh for strange reason I had a spare day! ::)roll

Any tips on how to get an even cut when I cut the barrel?
-
Yeah, let someone else cut it... ;D
-
Draw a line first and follow it!!??
-
Yeah, let someone else cut it... ;D
;D ;D you need some new waterproofs ;D
-
Nice piece of KIT
-
Stand the barrel on the floor get a block of wood or something similar gaffa tape a felt tip to the top at the required depth and run it round. Then use a jigsaw with a course blade on slow.
Sounds a good project.

Yeah draw round it first then drill a hole on the line. A jigsaw with a coarse blade. Don't go freehand it will be all over the place!!! Best of luck with that ;D

SNAP!
-
nice one, love the music too, lol, another idea could be to have the swivel on a lance?
-
To get a straight line use emery cloth - the sort you get on a reel obviously for bigger jobs the green gear decorators have would be good. If you don't have that use a ratchet strap and measure nicely. I did a painted pebbledash house yesterday and after he asked me to clean the limescale off his slatted pool cover - to stop the bits going everywhere I cut a hole in the bottom of a bucket and used the turbo. No wonder he had limescale as the pool was 31 degrees ::)roll

Chris that, scruff! He zip ties them when they split! ;D

Holy f***ing Christ .
Why is this not already available ?
Takes a user to realise what is needed.
What lpm machine would run this efficiently.
You should call this the " Turbo Blast"

How about 'The Blast Away'?
I know what you mean though, it does take the user to realise what is needed.
It's like the spigot solution that should be equipped to whirl-a-ways.
-
How about fitting it to a dustbin lid, metal type.
You could always nick your neighbours bin lid to try ;D
Just thinking now it may not be deep enough :(

What lpm machine to run 4 x 05 turbo nozzles properly.
I have not a clue really about high pressure cleaning , but do realise a major tool for a job.
And this idea on a fsc would absolutely cut the work times and finish on a job.

use the cheapest available option till you decide the best height , then have one machined for you inc vac port etc
You should by now realise this could be a turning point/winner for you.
The simple things are usually the best.
Imagine a Hoover with no bag !,, who would of thought EH

You will have to have a new spray bar made as if you "clip" anything you will rip the nozzles from the whirl-a-way one.
It's soft metal and the threads are only short. The turbo nozzles are way longer/heavier and will have more leverage on the thread. I looks f****ing amazing tho' . Top man keep us updated!!!

you are dead right i also told lee about this when i tried it out a couple of month ago. Honestly lee be carefull when you fasten to a hood, i did exactly what you did on your video and it was fine the minute you fasten to a hood then the problems start and a heavy turbo nozzle firing out from a hood believe me could easily kill someone, mine flew a good 100 metres
-
Dont worry fellas, Lee will be standing a good distance away, probably behind something while he films chris get knocked out buy a flying turbo nozzle :o ;D

hope Chris knows about this ;D
To be honest as Trevor has said this idea is lethal , these bars std set up are balanced hence cost, if one turbo shears off whole lot will go crazy. But on the bright side u may get £200 from itv when it goes pear shaped ;D ;D
-
hahaha, fair play Lee! - You know what, and i know no-one will believe me, but I thought about 'inventing' something like this about a year ago...
Trouble is, that's all I did... Think about it!! ::)roll
-
The blue barrel bottom is too small diameter, The water hit the sides and also the top would need to be really sturdy otherwise the nozzles bounce.
I give up, I'll leave it to the pro's to design a proper cover that won't have any play in it for the head.
I even shortened the bar so the water wouldn't hit the sides but the top around the head needs to be strengthened.
-
What about this with the turbo nozzles on .You would need to make a cover or a skirt for it. It needs to be a cross between these two items.Do you think it would work?

What about putting it inside a round cage instead of an enclosed cover?
-
Valiant attempt mate, but if it was that easy I am sure mosmatic would of done it by now.
It would need substantial strength in the 'head' of the cover to maintain hub / spray bar plus you always run the risk if a user accidently hits any raised flags etc. Goodbye shins ;D ;D
On our old kersten one of the guys sucked up a metal bracket around 2" size, bracket hit the impellar and shot straight thro the thick plastic casing :o. Luckly no one was hurt, casing was destroyed. Sure same thing would happen if turbo snapped off
-
a rotary cleaner with turbo nozzles is deffo needed. to save going back over blocks to get tough roots out on large area with a turbo lance after whirlaway. its a nightmare on large block areas having to go back over area. this needs to be made asap and sold just like whirlaways.
