Great hustle! For those unfamiliar with the " Turbo Draft " this system uses a venturi system in the aluminum box he deployed. 3" line out, supplies a 5" back. Since you're pushing water instead of pulling, you can draft from approximately 200' away. This system yields roughly 500 games and usually works well. There's also a miniature model available.
My question is what's the deal with the nozzle setup? Appears to be dual 5in reduced to maybe 2in fog nozzle. You're shooting yourself in the foot with that setup and a lot of unnecessary strain on pump and engine. Why not go with 2 deluge setup? More gpm less friction loss. Although I know hardly any friction loss with the length of those 2 5in, but that reduced manifold and fog setup changed that dramatically.
If you don't have water in the tank of the engine you won't be able to use the turbo draft. This is a good example of a tanker filling site. This pumper would be dedicated to filling empty tankers/tenders and sending them back to the fire scene to dump.
@@salvatoreizzo6499 Yup, the same class of device was used extensively by damage control parties on WW2 naval ships (ua-cam.com/video/FRKcwmqebR4/v-deo.html). It works well because, if you have enough water to prime the hose going down, you can pump water as far back up as you need. A straight suction setup vapor locks or stalls from cavitation somewhere short of about 30 feet.
Depending on how a department does things, if that is the Engineer than he does not need to wear his Bunker Gear While Setting up the Rig on a Fireground.

Holy fuck. if that aint the biggest ground monitor I've ever seen jesus awesome. Llap
These guys get it done!!! Bravo
Now that is how you move with a purpose

Maybe 250gpm at 110pdp with that setup, vs 1500gpm with 2 deluge depending on trucks max gpm.
Siphoning water with water. What happens when you don't have water to start with?

How the hell are you drafting with regular (not suction) hose????
Red Baron same concept as jet siphoning
Turbodraft. Check my page for lots of videos on how they work and what they’ll do for ya
The TurboDraft is not a drafting device, as it is an eductor and operates under pressure through a venturi principle.

Where are the wheel chocks?
Looks like he throws in a pump powered by water from the truck. Just guessing here...
Testing like its a drill why not wear the bunker gear???
