No one has yet mentioned Bucky Fuller's fog gun shower. I understand it took
him a whole hour to go through a pint of water ....
see < http://www.buckminster.info/Ideas/07-IcosHouseShowerScientific.htm>
for a fun drawing of this setup.

Somebody could surely make such a one for less than a GFX, no?

Hi Reuben,

Here's a link. I think you can order a copy for about $6,

or wait for it to become "digitally available."

Have you a copy or know where to get a copy of this book? I have so far not
had any luck. Though I did find the following, which is related:
www.ewb-uiuc.org/system/files?file=*Mist*ingShower-1.pdf -

The folks at Sunfrost also talk about keeping the air movement down in one's
shower:

All the best.
