Hi Ed;
    Realistically, this is probably the best way to go about this, but if Dave's surgery pumps can survive and have an effect, it would have the advantage of being light. In an ideal installation the water would be by far the heaviest component, so once it was consumed (such as on initial climb-out) there wouldn't be allot of unnecessary weight left to carry around.

Not certain how well it would work for the cooling application, but in the past I used windshield washer water pumps (and their plastic fluid containers) to inject water into a turbocharged 1976 Honda Civic.  The pump system  was designed for “hostile” environment use under the hood of a automobile.  Not certain whether it develops enough pressure to give a good atomized spray.  But, they were relative cheap and available.
