in-line thumper... Calling Hawke

[LWTCS]

Hawke, with reference to my interest in the inline thumper subject matter...............

If you could visualize a store bought airlock type of design for my intergration of the column into the thumper unit.

The vessel holding the water (air lock) represents the thumper (and charge).

The floating jacket/cap (on an air lock) would represent my described 2" outer jacket. Only my jacket will not float. Or should/could it float over the upward peice of 1-1/4" with out building pressure? This concept I'm sure would render the overflow protection useless. Unless I notched the base perimeter of the 2" and made it long enough to sit by itself on the floor of the thumper. That would make for very easy cleaning and disassembly. And create quite a rattle during a run I suspect. Might be kinda,,,,,,cool!

I would typically cut the stops out of a 1-1/4" to 2" reducer,extend my 1-1/4" through the reducer and cap the 1-1/4" above the reducer. Then drill an outlet (or two) below the reducer prior to installing the 2" jacket that will discharge at the base of the thumper.

Do you think this configureation will render the overflow protection inherant in this design useless?

To summerize,,,,,,,,,It would be a big ole air lock (thumper). That is to say that the vapor path will be identical.

It'll work,,,,,,,,,,no?

(Dang wish I had Decoy's drawing capability)
