If ya play with the water injection idea, you'll see the higher the pressure
the
finer the mist.  Trick is coming up with a good high pressure pump for the
water aquamist does that but $$$.  At 200 PSI we get a wonderful mist for
the Pullling Tractor but it takes a Ford starter motor running a agri spray
pump to do that, if anyone knows of a 12v 100PSI smalllight water pump I'd
like to hear about it
