Abstract: A jet former, including an impeller wheel rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation, having a blade arrangement, a control device, and at least one movably mounted nozzle. The control device is arranged and constructed to convert a rotation of the axis of rotation into a movement of the at least one nozzle. At least one blade of the blade arrangement is arranged and formed to divide the water flow directed towards the at least one blade in a direction of flow into at least a first partial flow and a further partial flow, to deviate the first partial flow in a first partial flow direction, and to deviate the other partial flow in a further partial flow direction. The direction of flow, the first partial flow direction and the further partial flow direction in each case differ from each other.
