Hypnotic water jet

Watch the University of Nottingham water jet cutting through plexiglass, filmed with a special camera. Scientist Janet Folkes can be heard discussing the machine, her narration combining to make a strangely hypnotic film. Best watched at high quality if option is available. More about the water jet and Janet at http://www.test-tube.org.uk/

I know you are not a 'chop-shop'; but perhaps you can cut that fruitcake I tried to eat a while back.

I used to run one of these water jets, the nozzles are made out of tungsten carbide a 9 on the hardness scale diamonds are 10. They didn't use any special camera or slow the footage down at all. A pump brings the water up to around 55,000 psi

Its NOT just water.

With just water, you just can cut some plastics,

to cur thick things or metals, water its mixed with a special sand.
