Default Re: Interesting idea - passive particulate filter

Sorry for that poor excuse of a diagram. I don't have and drawing tools handy so let me try to describe it a little better.

Think of water flowing over a tent ( hangin in the air). When the water reaches the bottom of the tent it sheets straight down to an angled catch basin. Kind of like stacking cups. There is sufficient space between the two cups to allow free vapor flow between the cups. Maybe like blowing smoke through a waterfall. I know the concept works, at least on an industrial scale, I am just not sure if a pizza oven produces enough draw to pull the vapors through the water curtain.
