    Abstract: A spraying apparatus includes a convergence chamber having a large end and a small end; at least two water inlets provided in the large end of the convergence chamber, each water inlet having a central axis and the at least two water inlets being arranged at convergent angles to each other so that the central axes converge in free space within the convergence chamber; at least one air intake provided in the convergence chamber between the large end and the small end; and a rectifier opening including a throat provided at the small end of the convergence chamber; and a spraying opening, the rectifier opening having a cross-sectional area that continuously increases outwardly from the throat to the spraying opening, and the throat having a cross-sectional area that is one to three times greater than that of a total cross-sectional area of the at least two water inlets.

    Abstract: An oscillating positive respiratory pressure apparatus and a method of performing oscillating positive respiratory pressure therapy. The apparatus includes a housing having an interior chamber, a chamber inlet, a chamber outlet, an exhalation flow path defined between the inlet and the outlet, and a restrictor member rotatably mounted within the interior chamber. The restrictor member has an axis of rotation that is substantially perpendicular to the flow path at the inlet, and includes at least one blocking segment. Rotation of the restrictor member moves the at least one blocking segment between an open position and a closed position. Respiratory pressure at the chamber inlet oscillates between a minimum when the at least one blocking segment is in the open position and a maximum when the at least one blocking segment is in the closed position. By exhaling into the apparatus, oscillating positive expiratory pressure therapy is administered.
