all snorkels will suffer from water intake due to the amount of air sucked in even when the top is reversed.

you can do a water trap but that has to be to a sealed container that is vented to the highest point

sealed so as not to create a lower point of entry for water
vented to allow air to escape to allow unwanted water to enter catch tank

but normal air intake will let water in anyway

on second viewing it looks like he has incorporated a snorkel into the roll bar

the piece going down towards the ground i thought was water trap,but now looked again .it does look like a rool cage. clever bit of steel work.

to be honest if its incorporated into the roll cage i dont think he will have any problems with knocking it off . very clever.

i like the idea, if roll cages are your thing

i think it only looks a bit rough as it isn't finished and the wing has yet to be put back on!
