ah. I didn't think they were mechanical inside.

I was thinking of doing something like a single output sprinkler head. A little tube that can spin, which is bent slightly propelling the spinning action. It would be driven by the sprinkler jet, rather than gearing.

I think it would have two benefits. the single spinning jet would cause a propeller like action, chopping up the water, while the jet output will spray water all over the place, randomizing movement.

I've been trying to figure out how I could build it. I'll whip up a 3d diagram of my idea and post it.
