Cool Time Fountain
Check out the Time Fountain

Found this from a post in an electronic forum from the guy who made it.

Me too. Pity I've got so many torches to mod at the moment.

Seems to me all you need is a fairly low powered water pump a nozzle a stand lights and a strobe controller to control the frequency of the cycles.

Scintillating stuff!

I found myself wondering last night if a pretty steady flow of water will result in the regularity of the timing of the drops. Is it that simple?

The guy who made it said the tricky part was making the reservoir at the top maintain an even level with no swirling or currents. It uses 5mm UV LED's and a 555 timer.
