Next invention for WFP-Blower/dryer
« on: October 07, 2008, 09:02:38 pm »
Wfp is really only in its infancy and has a long way to go yet
What about if someone invented some sort of high pressure blow jets to fit onto the pole so that after the windows have been soaked a shot of air is then blown onto the window to disperse most of the water (bit like a car wash)with the dryers?
Now where did i put my inventors hat? ::)

You would need a highpressure airline hose attatched to a compressor as well as the water hose.

I use a stihl blower for my garden work, I reckon if i got hold of a long enough adaptable pipe to fit the end of the blower, i would be in business, bit like a reversal of the guttervac system

Good idea, but a bit heavy if you need to have a high pressure hose as well.

Stihl do a pipe that fits on to there blowers, it's used to blow leaves out of gutters, I think i paid £25ish for it about 4 years ago.

Yeah, but they'll be twice as quick to freeze in the winter.

This isnt an entire fact. It depends on many factors. But under the right circumstances,your right this will occur.

Sounds like allot of hassle to do what Mother Nature does naturally, I'd just leave it to evaporate.

I can’t see any real advantage to this other than it drying faster, but that really isn't going to save to time anyway. Then there is the supply of electricity to a system like that, it going to cost you more money than it will earn you.

Not to put you off, I like the train of thought, but might want to think a little more about the actual benefits to this.

Isn't it Ionics who already have one on the market?  It's a diesel driven vacuum that follows the WFP brush and sucks the water off the glass.

They made a big shout about it when they brought it out, billed it as the "WFP you can use inside" but I haven't heard anything lately.

Anybody else know?

Whilst you are in "Inventing" mode - how about a window that can be taken out by the customer, and posted to you.

All you need do is to clean it, and then post it back - with the invoice!

Simple, saves all that messing about with ladders, poles, and cold vans!

it wont work as the dust in the air will stick to the water droplets and leave a spot
