A motor? That will just destroy the stream. I think a "screw" type thing with threads would work much better.

Yes, I am. A fan would destroy the stream. Do those electric fans that also shoot water shoot any better without the fan? No. How about you try your idea out and tell us how it goes.

I thinks thats stupid it will be ez and work much better if you use a screw in a pump shaft and use the moter as you use a pump on the soakers and use the moter to pump water in to the pc and put your fan blast on that

No electric motor is that powerful, unless it's got a gearshaft. You might as well attach a air compressor to your soaker.
