Wichita House:
"I decided to pay attention to the equipment needed to keep yourself clean and take care of your processes. And I developed the fog gun. Hydraulics are noncompressible and more effective than gases in the form of a needle-spray. The spray was mixed with compressed air to conserve water and penetrate the pores without the pain of a direct needle spray. In the form of fog it gets closer into the pores than does water. Fog scavenges out the pores and floats the dirt away.
"You’ve seen people cleaning the outsides of buildings; you might have thought it was steam, but it’s compressed air. Our experiments at the Institute of Design in Chicago showed that you had to go over 200 pounds p.s.i.-- more than a simple compressor. The atomized water gives the desirable massage effect on the skin.
"Water is so extraordinarily valuable. We don’t know of any other planet with any water on it. And we flush five gallons down the toilet each time we get rid of a pint of waste!
“We package our foods coming inbound: Why don’t we package them going outbound? It’s just exactly as easy.”
