Up to 36000 PSI?!

Now these are some serious water pump/blaster systems

Not recommended for a water fight, but you can probably powerwash your car/house/boat/building with these babies. ...you know when it means business when there be some pretty heavy duty safety equipment sold as well.

Indeed. I've seen what happens when an ordinary pressure washer - much lower pressure than these operate at - hits skin. For comparison, 36,000 psi is about the pressure in the chamber of a 9mm handgun when fired.

My mistake.. they've got one there that can push 40500 PSI.

That's above the PSI for a 9mm Gun PSI reference

That's absolutely nuts. I know that the Egyptians used watercannons, probably similar to these, to wash out Israeli trenches during the 6 Day War.

There were vids of pressure washers being used to cut steel posted some time ago. I assume they run at about the same pressure as this?

These look pretty cool, but for that price, I could get a luxury car for that price...
