[edit] Water laser

I'm not really sure what this is - it's an essay and original research; it definitely isn't in the style of an encyclopedia, and the author has re-invented the water hammer, the hydraulic ram and Pogo oscillations. BJAODN is a good home for this. Pilatus 19:28, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

• delete non-encyclopedic.. and has got to be a hoax based on the things he says. — brighterorange (talk) 19:33, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete -- Wikipedia is not for original research. Plus, the idea is garbage. Amcfreely 21:00, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete -- while "water lasers" apparently exist (primarily as dentist's tools instead of drills [1]), this article isn't about the ones that exist. Clear it out so someone else can start over later. — mendel ☎ 21:04, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Abrasive Waterjet Cutters also exist. Pilatus 21:56, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete -- and get rid of the link to it in Hydraulics. Pfalstad 22:12, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but the article needs work. Found some valid Google hits on this: [2], [3], [4], [5]., etc. There is also a water laser used by dentists but it's not the same thing as discussed in this article. ♠ DanMS 01:14, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• delete sounds like a Pressure washer and there's no article on that. WCFrancis 01:45, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• delete as original research. Groeck 16:21, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per DanMS. ··gracefool |☺ 07:43, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, Expand and Clean up - seems to be relevant and according to Google this is a notable phenomenon as per DanMS. Piecraft 15:28, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete OR "I came across this phenomenon in an industrial plant" --TimPope 17:55, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete OR as the article clearly states: I have refined the concepts to produce this ‘Thought Invention’. It may prove impossible to build, and may have no useful purpose whatsoever, but it’s a great original invention! Paul August ☎ 20:39, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
