Slow Motion Waterfall
Sheet of water pours down motorized backing that moves in such a way as to give effect of a slow motion waterfall. | |
You need to see the picture to get this idea.
A flat, flexible plane made of rubber that has dozens of
connection points that are attached to a motorized cam
that
moves in such a way to mimic the flow of water. The sheet
of
water pouring down this rubber sheet will move as well
giving
the illusion of a slow motion waterfall.
(see link)
Picture this with the ripples moving slowly.

How about having a Golden Syrup waterfall instead? |
|
| |
How about having a high-viscosity silicone waterfall instead? |
|
| |
Another way to get this effect, although baked- (see link) |
|
| |
WB, how are they doing that? Is it a plastic sheet
running in a loop with water flowing over it? |
|
| |
Is the water just deposited at the top of the sheet in
patterns of various thicknesses? |
|
| |
I'm guessing the latter. Very clever and cool. |
|
| |
Thin, clear silicone rubber - almost invisible. |

STURTON ! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED BEFORE ! STAY AWAY FROM [MB]'s COMPUTER ! |
|
| |
Like asking for a waterfall of golden syrup over your flies isn't a dead giveaway ... |
|
| |
You are going to get a right ding alongside the earhole when he finds out, and we are going to tell him. |
|

Pah. Sturton has his own computer. It's an English Electric
KDF9, but he only uses it when he gets cold. |

[Doc], water flows over a weir, then down a vertical sheet
of “Harmonic Mesh” material. The mesh looks like a fine
fish net that’s been diagonally stretched (think diamond-
shaped). Other than the water, no moving parts. |
|
| |
So simple again wins the day over complex. |
|
| |
I imagined a waterfall with a carefully adjusted flow
rate so as to control the break-up of the laminar
flow into droplets. Then these droplets would be
illuminated by a strobe light to give the impression
the drops were falling really slowly. |
|
| |
Bonus feature, induces epilepsy in 15% of onlookers. |
|
| |
I think the water is too chaotic in a regular waterfall to do that but you could certainly have many carefully measured droplet streams side by side to give the effect. |
|
| |
Like 8 says though, strobe lights have issues, one being they're not exactly relaxing to watch. |
|
| |
Wonder if you could use black light strobes? |
