Q. I have to connect two 5 pound CO2 tanks for a project. Anyone know how I would go about doing this?
These are the tanks I am trying to connect: http://www.amazon.com/5-LB-CO2-Cylinder-Aluminum/dp/B0023VE8F2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1335881611&sr=8-2
Thanks
It's pretty much going to be a really high pressure water gun. One tank will be filled with air, the other with water. Voiding the certification doesn't matter much to me, because I can fill them at home.
Hope that helps.

Answer
CO2 has a vapor pressure of 830psi@ room temperature. The bottles require periodic recertification, or they can't be refilled. Any modification voids certification.
Explain your project in additional details.
I have your additional details.
I should admit that I'm unfamiliar with the hydraulic principles of nozzles and jets, but
I did attempt to retrofit a 3500psi pressure washer for spraying tall trees. The result was complete failure. A 60 psi garden hose produced a better stream. A sprayer designed for the purpose produced a 50' vertical stream with 100 psi. I suspect that 850psi CO2 would create artificial snow.
Try some research before you begin. I'll check further on this myself.
PPS: It looks like excess pressure will cause a solid stream to break into droplets.
There seems to be a balance between pressure, volume, and laminar flow (solid stream).
I'm adding two sources with general ideas.
CO2 bottles come with a variety of fittings (all of which are pricey for experimentation).
A discarded 20 lb.Propane tank will safely hold 100psi compressed air.
Pressures over 100 psi require several gpm to prevent atomizing.
Good luck.

What garden hose for a high pressure nozzle?
Steven
I plan to buy a high pressure 250psi spray nozzle which I will put a link in the end. But I want to know if I bought only a 5/8 inch hose, will that limit the water pressure. I just went to the store and saw that 5/8 inch hose is actually quite thin haha. Should I cancel my order and buy a bigger 3/4 inch hose or is the 5/8 inch just fine? Thans

Answer
Most household water pressure falls between 60 -80 PSi, with some getting as high as 100 PSI.
Unless you have an unusually high pressure pump or supply source, virtually all common GHT nozzles will handle your service.
Garden Hose is usually rated for between 150 PSI and 250 PSI Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP).
There are commercial hose products that utilize long shank commercial GHT (Garden Hose Thread) couplings that might be able to exceed 250 PSI MAWP, but would not be likely to be found in your situation.
There are special nozzles, used in the Fire Equipment Industry, that are capable of handling higher pressures, but these are so expensive as to be absurd for your use.
You cannot get more pressure out of the system than goes into it.
When you restrict the flow at the nozzle outlet, by using a smaller orifice (outlet hole) you minimize the pressure drop that occurs and you will have the effect of more force, but at the expense of REDUCED FLOW.
Dixon Valve's "Adjust-a-Power" Nozzle is used by forest firefighters to achieve better reach and minimize water usage. It is also widely used as a "sweeper" nozzle for removing debris.

Short of getting a real pressure washer, or getting a special nozzle that requires an air compressor to boost the pressure from you hose, this is the best thing for "hitting" power, but it will not let you put out the volume of water a regular Garden hose nozzle will.
Nelson is a fine company, however realize that the "300% more water flow than a standard nozzle" is ONLY possible when you have the 250 PSI pressure at the nozzle inlet. The increase is mostly due to the higher flow rate at 250 PSI vs 100 PSI.
Putting a high volume nozzle on a smaller diameter hose will somewhat starve the nozzle, resulting in a reduced outlet pressure, and "hitting" power of the stream.
If a high flow rate is your requirement then you should go with the 3/4" Hose.
If you opt for a lower volume nozzle then the 5/8" hose might suffice.
Make sure which ever hose you get is rated for the applications working pressure.
