You can check it out at: news.bbc.co.uk/.../3937043.stm I hope it makes it into production soon. :)en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/16707?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 02 Aug 2004 14:30:03 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:9717b70a-f9d5-4d6e-8ce0-25b2c9d413ffFormer MemberI noted that it reduces in length from 25M to 3M too. This would reduce storage. Still a prototype though.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/16652?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 31 Jul 2004 06:39:29 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:f461ae53-0b72-41e6-a0e5-e0736716b417Former MemberIt does look as if it could hurt fingers if your hand went into it. Maybe they could wrap the whole unit in some kind of mesh. :eek: Good to see some one working in this area though.:)<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/16633?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 30 Jul 2004 06:09:52 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:bb056da4-9fc7-4221-ae00-a798c8fd05c6joyWill these hurt just as much as the other ones do when u run into them. Looks like wire inside of the rubber wrapped around each little fan looking affair. It is very different. Do the fans stay in one place or spin with the water as it comes at them. As u can tell I haven&#39;t read the article yet but will. thanz for the article.

This picture made me think of that experience, what with what appears to be all of its exposed edges.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
