Array of nozzles rotates to form an interesting optical trick.

You'll have to see the link for this to make sense, but the fountain forms a sculpture shape with hundreds of nozzles that form the shapes in the link. The water streams go up a foot or two forming wall shapes and the specific grid illustrated in the video link. The whole thing rotates so as you watch it the shapes change from squares to circles.

This but formed with water in a fountain. https://youtu.be/oWfFco7K9v8
The effect would be seen as the sprays forming the shapes rotate. [doctorremulac3, Dec 11 2024]

The effect without the pointless mirror. https://www.youtube...watch?v=kdBmKoE5zPk

This link works. [doctorremulac3, Dec 12 2024]

Hi, I'm new here, but i cant see the link, can you describe it to me?

Hi. I, too, can't see the link. Can you describe it to me?
-- Voice, Dec 11 2024


Oh shoot, thanks, let me find another.
-- doctorremulac3, Dec 11 2024


Thank you for your patience, is this one working?
-- doctorremulac3, Dec 11 2024


I can desscribe the link. It's several letters with a colon and forward slashes embedded in between. If you click on it it's supposed to open or change your display to show a video of some sort.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Ray, it was a Facebook post. I've had issues with those before. Hope this one's working.

By the way, the hight of the individual streams would need to be very precise to make this shape but I don't think that's a problem.

The mirror trick is done by the shape of the mirror, so I'm not sure how you're saying it can be replicated with a fountain.
-- Voice, Dec 11 2024


The mirror isn't part of it, they just put one in this video. It's just the shape that's square and rotates to appear round.

Don't know why they put the stupid mirror there. Link has another one without the mirror.
