Laminar nozzle

Can the nozzle technology used in water fountains to produce a tight, laminar stream of water be applied to medium or high pressure spray nozzles? Has anyone done this? Basically pack a bunch of "straws" upstream of the nozzle to increase surface area and decrease turbulence, then have a cone shaped filter right before the exit orifice. I'm sure it would be many times more expensive to manufacture than our jrod setups, but maybe it could throw water twice as high???
 
Once you start applying pressure to move the water more quickly the water will start to break up.
 
Those are cool! But I clicked thru a couple videos and they said that they aren't for high pressure, so maybe they wouldn't work for us?
 
Suspended? Really Chad?
 
Are nozzles that contain a stabilizer "vane" basically trying to accomplish the same thing?

It's an interesting concept for sure. Everything would need to be "Mathematically" matched to gpm & water velocity. The slightest bit of wind would disrupt the stream.....But the tighter the stream or pattern, the higher the reach, the more impact.....Pretty Cool.
