Final Solution

Design Number 3: The Combination Nozzle

With a chokepoint in the middle of the nozzle and two medium sized openings, this design will encompass the best aspects of the two previous designs (Figure 3). It will provide a larger surface area than the convergent design and will supply a larger energy output then the divergent design. The tube length will also enable the design to reach as far as the arena extends, while also being short enough to allow the movements along the arena floor to be accurate and concise (Figure 3).

Nevertheless, the nozzle will not specialize in any particular area due to the balanced design. It is far easier to tackle all the tasks with a balanced design than a specialized one. Due to the balanced nature of the design, the combination nozzle will not do very well in certain areas and worse in others. Instead, it will do well in all areas, eliminating overwhelming strengths and weaknesses and replace them with a solid score in each graded area.

It will, however, be somewhat difficult to manufacture this nozzle design. Due to its somewhat unorthodox design, it will be very difficult to create. The chokepoint is located within the center of the nozzle, and will be difficult to mold in such a fashion.

The nozzle will be assembled with plastic pieces that will be put together with adhesive or by being welded together. This Frankenstein nozzle will effectively live up to its name by incorporating several different designs into one, both theoretically and physically. This way, the nozzle can be produced in the most effective manner possible and yield positive results.
