  • Nozzle attachment for increasing the output flux of a fluid outlet, and methods for its use
    Patent number: 11779943
    Abstract: A nozzle attachment and method for its use is provided. The nozzle attachment can be affixed to a fluid outlet. The nozzle attachment is constructed and arranged to increase the total output flow, flux, of the fluid outlet by using the high velocity directional fluid flow from the outlet to create a pressure differential between the flow and the surrounding medium, thereby causing fluid particles from the surrounding medium to be drawn into the fluid flow. The nozzle attachment comprises a nozzle attachment fixation element, a funnel element, and a frame connector extending between the nozzle attachment fixation element and the funnel element. The nozzle attachment has many applications and uses.
