Would you believe that we found another vintage salon hair dryer at a different thrift shop for 99 cents!?!? This one has a translucent top. Now we need to figure out a way to get it to shoot out slime...
Awesome that's a sick idea hope you get it figured out, some kind of pump or compressed air blaster maybe. Or maybe get a gunge tank and modify it to empty over the person sitting in the chair.

Yes, gravity feed would be by far the easiest and cheapest way to go here. Here's my attempt at an idea that plays to JD's strengths...
You're skilled with using toilet flush valves and work outdoors. I'm thinking two 5 gallon buckets hanging out of view from low, sturdy tree branches. Each with their own flush valve and pipe at the bottom that combine a feet above the dryer part, with a 2" tube runs down to the top of the dryer part directly above your lovely assistant. You'd need to bore a hole for it but that should give the intended effect. 2" will be a lot of flow, and at a pretty good pressure from the buckets being mounted up high and combining. If it's too much you can just throw a reducer in there at the bottom outlet.
Don't think the small holes already built in can really do anything because there are too many and they're too large. It would be difficult to even get water to come through them at an adequate pressure, let alone something thicker.

Anyway just my 2 cents!
Hope, I think your engineering mind needs to make a trip north!!

One of the advantages to living in a low income rural area, I guess. The Sunday sales in this area (rural WV, PA and MD; Appalachia) have certain tag colors for 99 cents. Even the regular full price is usually $5 for shoes, $6 for dresses and $13 for formal gowns. Believe it or not, we actually picked up another one of these hair dryers back in January at a different stores 99 cent sale. We have gotten so used to these prices that the thrift stores in Baltimore feel expensive now with shoes for $12 and formal wear for $25+
Love you, too
