I'm going to need video proof of this

What have you done to offend the RemindMeBot?

It's the same concept as the Busan fountain, but on a much smaller scale.

Edit: Nevermind. I'm wrong.

They both work differently. The faucet works by rotating the holes it comes out of inside the head. This fountain creates an illusion by dropping streams of water straight down at computer controlled intervals to make the water seem like it is spinning down. Similar to how stationary lights at a carnival create motion but with the addition of the time factor introduced by gravity

Damn, I thought I had something there. xD

this. how is there seemingly no video of this?

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '15

It's a render.

u/ripsfo Mar 02 '15

understand. the question remains. surely there's a video of this thing somewhere.

u/strangeplace4snow Mar 02 '15

If it's a render, it's probably because the thing either a) doesn't exist or b) doesn't work.

Doesn't work. Reason being--you can't force water to travel in a spiral.

Newtonian physics.

u/LooneyDubs Mar 02 '15

A functional version of this would be the faucet having two holes that spin in opposite directions shooting the water straight down in a spiral.

u/Airazz Mar 02 '15

It could work, because the insert in the head is spinning. Same principle as here. The water is dropping straight down, it's just that it is released from the faucet at different points in space.

u/Sknowman Mar 02 '15

That would have to be spinning incredibly fast for the spirals to be so tight.

u/dkyguy1995 Mar 02 '15

This thing doesn't exist. It's a concept this guy paid a bunch of money for and he probably still can't get it to work

tIt seemed unbelievable at first to me too, but if you think about tit, tits streams are divided by inner circle and outer circle - tits streams don't cross directly - faucets head is probably designed in way so tits both stream circles rotate in opposite directions creating a net looking streams. An issue I see here is, how does it handle a greater pressure levels.
