WET FireShooter

I worked on upgrading one of WET’s core devices — the FireShooter. The FireShooter is a submersible device that is installed in the basin of several of WET’s water features. It lifts its nozzle above the level of the water during a show and shoots a three foot tall propane or natural gas fire ball. With the new version of the device, I focused on simplifying the lift mechanism and use parts common to other core WET devices, making a more compact nozzle with fewer parts for improved manufacturability and sourcing piping components that would improve the longevity of the piping assemblies. I designed and tested these improvements, and designed tests for the units to verify their functionality as they came off the assembly line. So far, fifteen of these have been manufactured for a new feature WET is working on that should open in the near future.
