TDS System operational?

** JD -- ** ** I was just browsing around your website. I'm anxiously awaiting the results ** of your efforts in creating the "TDS System". ** ** ** ** There is a HUGE market for such a device. I, for one, will buy the first ** unit. If your company plans to go public, let me know so I can get in on the ** IPO. Do you need investors?

BWHAHAHAHAHA!!! I've joked about this with friends, and they all say the same thing: if sprayed tailgaters don't shoot me or I get arrested for assault, yeah, maybe an IPO is in my future. I loved the story about the farmer who blasted pig manure at a tailgater, and I'm eagerly looking forward to squirting my first butt-sniffer.

I'm still working on the nozzles. The windshield squirters I've tried don't work. They spray the fluid all wrong. What is needed are nozzles that send more of a steady horizontal stream of liquid, instead of what amounts to a 'heavy misting' I'm getting from windshield sprayers. I'm working with some small copper tubing today, wrapped with automotive fuel hosing, attached using electrical conduit bracketing. It *should* work properly - I'll update the website in a few days after testing. I may even find that the windshield washer motor is inadequite after all is said and done. I should know in a few days.

I find it amusing that anyone else is interested in this stuff. Everyone I know thinks I'm crazy for wanting something like that installed on a car. I'm also in the process of collecting the liquid required for testing, something that is in and of itself, almost as disgusting as putting up with idiot tailgaters.

Don't tell me you've acquired a pig and hold a container under it's rear end everytime it squats down? :-)

Years ago I rigged up a system on a 56 Chevy. It was powered by the spare tire, had a small tank that I would fill with drain oil or Diesel fuel, and some odds and ends from a hardware store. Here's how it worked. Had a hose from the spare tire to a small valve, more hose to the tank, and some more hose to the passenger's side exhaust manifold. Open the valve and air pressure from the tire pushed the oil into the manifold. Simple, and it made so much smoke I could stop traffic for a long way. You can try to imagine how much smoke came from this, but you would have to see it to believe it. Try to imagine sky writing on the ground.

The hardest part, and it was easy, was drilling and tapping a hole in the manifold. Put about three feet of copper pipe from there to kill the heat, then plastic tubing to the tank. The tank, I tried many, ended up being an old Freon cylinder. I filled it by pulling off the hose to the valve and using intake manifold vacuum to suck the stuff in. Water worked too but I was afraid I would crack the manifold.

On a new car I'm sure it would kill the catalytic converter, so don't try it.

I admire the ingenuity! You could darned near shut down an Interstate highway with something like that! (Then the CHP helicopter would hunt you down.)

The squirter nozzles and pump work very well on my 84 toyota celica. The nozzles squirt pretty far.. from the hood to well above my windshield.
