Abstract
A continuously variable nozzle system includes a nozzle body () with an inlet and an outlet. A conduit is defined between the inlet and the outlet by a series connection of components which includes a flow meter (). The flow meter () has a chamber () with internal helical splines () that are configured to interact with a spray liquid passing through the chamber () and create a cyclone-like effect. A sphere () is located inside the chamber () for free movement along a circular path (). A sensor is located outside of the chamber () and configured to detect motion of the sphere () and generate an output () signal in response to detected motion.
