Pod apparatus
An exhaust manifold for use with pool of waters, hot tubes, and the like; used to facilitate a host of other devices. This exhaust manifold is commonly used as the exhaust vent to a water circulation system. The crux of this device is that some of the circulated water is diverted into other devices. An example of the hosts of devices include devices such as waters guns, water toys, aesthetic devices, generators, cleaners, brushes and the like.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an exhaust manifold to a water circulation system with a pressurized flow of water receptacle ejected; and more specifically exhaust flows directed into various other objects or devices.
2. Summary of the Invention
It is the object of the present invention to use pressurized water supplied from the circulation system of a pool of water to charge a toy water gun system, whereas the hoses are detachable.
It is yet another object of the present invention to pressurize a receptacle using pressurized water supplied by circulated water in a body of water to drive certain toys. The power of the water maybe harnessed to produce motion in these toys.
Another embodiment that uses diverted circulated water to power other devices. A small generator with a water wheel maybe attached to the system to produce electricity from the pressurized water. The re-circulated water may also be diverted to aesthetic scenery; whereas an effect of a waterfall can be produced. Other devices may also be powered in this manner: oscillating brushes pool of water/hot tube vacuum, and a body massager.
