The tubes are 2ft-long sections of 4in clear sch40 PVC pipe with an internal piston mechanism which pushes ~1.5gal of material out in ~1s. It's basically a scaled-up pneumatic potato cannon design, but operating at relatively very low pressure (~20PSI).

For manually-fired use like this, I've 3D-printed flat nozzles to screw on to the end so that the spray gets concentrated in a vertical line at the target. For overhead use, a 90-degree elbow is used.

I also have an attachment designed for injecting the front and back of a diaper (or other undergarment), for which I use a narrower pressure line to restrict the airflow so that it ejects slowly over 2s.

I'm pretty sure the 15s minimum video length didn't have something that took this much work to produce in mind.

Captured with my phone wrapped in a lot of painter's tape and plastic wrap using DC lighting to avoid flicker at 240fps.

I'm not sure there's a good way to actually upload the full resolution version to UMD at the moment.

I already don't have a shirt on - that's a PVC bib (and waterproof collar, which is mostly covered by the bib).
