Thanks.  My guess, based upon my own theoretical work, is that such a system
would destroy the potential reaching the topload.  It would be like putting
an inverted cone as a sprinkler nozzle on a hose.  There would be no
pressure at the end, and the fluid would essentially just dribble out.

I would certainly be interested in the results, as it would modify my
thinking considerably if it did work.
