| Title: |
Fountain With Fog-Filled Illuminated Water Domes |
| Abstract: |
A fountain system for creating unique water displays or water attractions.
The fountain system includes a pump providing water at a flow rate and a
plurality of fountain assemblies connected to the pump outlet. Each of
the fountain assemblies includes a nozzle such as a bell or dome nozzle
that receives the water from the pump and discharges the water from its
outlet in the form of an enclosed dome about the nozzle outlet. The
fountain assembly includes a fog generator or fogger such as an
ultrasonic transducer, positioned proximate to the nozzle discharging fog
into the dome where it is trapped by the laminar flow water in the dome
wall. Each fountain assembly includes a light source transmitting light
into the dome to illuminate and color the captured fog. The flow rate may
be changed to alter the shape and size of the domes.
