Crazy Designer
I am a designer that has come up with several products that are sold around the world and I have a few patents. Unfortunately, I don't get royalties so I'm not rich.
I have come up with a second non-traumatic pump that puts out a significant flow rate. My first design was a tower that fit outside the tank. This new one is a more reasonable size that can fit under the tank. The basic design is worked out but I have not produced any yet.
Back to the flow rate. It would be about the same as a standard impeller driven pump but the volume would be higher because it would have a 3, 4 or more inch diameter output pipe so the total flow volume would be substantial.
This moving volume of water pushes out at one end of the tank and pulls from the other. Using and old design, I can slow down and reverse the flow, then turn it back again. I believe that would be and addition to a tank that would be quite pleasing to the eye.
My simple question is, how much of a market would there be for such products. I am thinking that the number of units sold would be comparatively low so that margins would need to be high and therefore they would probably be sold only as premium products.
