Abstract

A system includes a drill bit, nozzle, at least two mechanical rods, and at least one hinge. The drill bit has a drill bit bore and is configured to drill a borehole. The nozzle is disposed within the drill bit bore and has a nozzle bore configured to convey a fluid. The at least two mechanical rods are disposed along a surface of the nozzle bore. The proximal mechanical rod among the at least two mechanical rods is fixed to the surface. The distal mechanical rod and the nozzle bore form a nozzle aperture. The at least one hinge is configured to connect the at least two mechanical rods together longitudinally. The distal mechanical rod is configured to rotate around the at least one hinge in response to the fluid to adjust the nozzle aperture.
