Abstract

A fluid delivery system utilizes Bernoulli pressure differentials and kinetic forces is provided. The system includes a pressurized channel in fluid communication with a flexible pressurized line for translating pressurized fluids to a mixing chamber. The mixing chamber is also in fluid communication with a source channel receiving fluids from a flexible source line. The mixing chamber is configured for entraining the source fluids with the pressurized fluids 26 using Bernoulli principles. Kinetic valves may be used in conjunction with, or in lieu of, the Bernoulli siphoning.

Abstract

A device for being received within a downspout of a rain gutter assembly is provided. The device is configured for being received in a downspout of the type having an inlet at a top portion thereof and an outlet at a bottom portion thereof. The device includes a housing defining a longitudinally extending passageway for allowing flow of uncollected water therethrough, at least one laterally extending collection aperture defined in the housing for allowing flow of collected water therethrough, a collection chamber in communication with the at least one drain for collecting water, and a drain outlet in communication with the chamber for allowing flow of collected water therethrough. A storage tank such as a flexible bladder may also be provided. The storage tank may be in communication with a siphon pump assembly. The storage tank may also be provided with a camouflaging pattern and ultraviolet and rot resistant materials.
