Mark,
That's exactly how some of the new water mist fire extinguishing systems
used in marine engine compartments work. Unfortunately, they also require
extremely high pressure(~300psig usually provided by an N2 bottle and
regulator). There are some "low pressure" nozzles available, but they still
need at least 75psig.
Still lookin' tho'.
