This has got to be one of the best stunts to advertise a moderately obscure service I have ever seen. What is a water jet? Remember how when you were a kid (or maybe you still do this) when you were told to water the lawn you inevitable ended up seeing how deep a hold you could make in the ground by blasting it with the finest setting on the nozzle? Ok, that’s called ‘hydraulic mining‘ but the idea is the same. Shoot ultra high pressure water through a super fine hole and you can cut through stuff. Sometimes a bit of grit is added to give the jet some better cutting action. Wood, plastic, metal, cloth… Just about anything can be cut this way. It’s better than a laser in some ways because there is zero heating. You could cut butter this way if you wanted to. Anyway, this is a link to a great FAQ on the process and some stunning photos on how to seriously void the warranty on your game systems.
