I think a large 1/2 hp squirrel cage blower would provide enough pressure to feed into the laminar tube system that I need to build. Should be fairly high pressure. Those fans have enough guts to push a/c through a two story home. Should work here. I am thinking of trying drinking straws for the jets. Maybe making the bank about 20 layers thick of straws. That is going to take a LOT of straws. I am also wondering... would it be best to use a thin felt or window screen to stablize the flowing air? I want to elimiate the buffeting that you would feel from a conventional fan. That way, it is just smooth and constant pressure. I think it would also equalize the flow over all the jets so that they are at the same pressure. Or, now that I think about it, incorporating your idea of a pipe with many holes in it. That would spread the air flow out so there is no 1 inlet but rather several all the way across.
The_Doctor, I apologize for not knowing your name, but what do you think? Very high pressure, across several outlet holes that feed into the chamber before exiting out of the laminar tubes?
The fog, be it atmoized mist or glycol, i think that will be the last thing I worry about. The laminar flow, high pressure creating a low pressure zone is my first obstacle.
