eloid Great job!
tons of great info, we need more people like you to share there knowledge.
I hope others take part in sharing ideas.
I wish there where some waterjet owers and user to help us develope a plumbing schematic. Or post there system schematic of there machines
Hi all
Hi all.
Look what this guys have done.

What are your coments ??
Good start point ??
Great thread guys....a few things to remember.
A. I think all of us agree Safety with such high pressure should be #1. Definatly not downplaying that. However, i say the most dangerous tool in any shop is a grinder with cutoff wheel. That sucker has gotten me, and just about any metal worker i know. It might be small and simple, but it can EASILY severely hurt or kill in a split second.
B. I don't think we should say "DIY" or "Homebuilt" in this forum. I mean, come on...most of us have or have access to every metalworking machine out there, so i wouldnt consider us "DIY" or "hobbyest". We have the same equipment any company has that makes these machines (Within reason).
C. People use to say 3D printers were since fiction....then "only for Big companies". Now you can build one for $1000-$3000.

Pump appears to be the biggest hurdle. NASA used a disk pump with ten stages to liquify hydrogen. This type of pump has to be spun at more than 9500 RPM depending on size in order to produce very high pressures, but it is almost immune to abrasives in the feed water and other contaminants. It also appears this type of pump is far more efficient than any type of piston pump. My problem with this design has been figuring out how to seal it.
