Best Answer

An impulse sprinkler or 'impact sprinkler', works as follows:-

Water enters the bottom of the sprinkler through the bearing nipple, proceeds up

through the body and exits out the nozzle. When the water hits the arm, it is

propelled out away from the sprinkler. This action causes the arm to pivot away from the water stream, creating tension on the arm spring. When the spring tension is stronger than the force against it, the arm moves quickly toward the water stream and "impacts" against the body. This "impact" causes the sprinkler to turn in a very consistent manner. This is where the term "impact" was derived from.
