My Time Fountain

[supafly377]

Hey I am really intersted in making this. How much equipment would I need. I'm allowed to use the electronics facilities at my camous, but I'd rather do it at home. How long did it take? I'm finding hard finding th stuff. Do you know if there is a place where I could buy one? :-p

[luka1226]

maplins dude, all the way

[anonymous6366]

these are so cool

[olehk8]

Is it possible for you to send me a link for the fountain you used? I've been looking for somthing just like that for my time fountain.

[luxsato]

How to you get the fountain to make drops instead of a stream?

[Trogiss]

aaaah so mesmerizing...should be doing HW but I would rather be staring at this

[zmallet]

haha I've seen the original time fountain at MIT. how far things have come :] awesome effects

[lexallen]

I totaly LOVE this thing... and the music is good too, dude if there are any plans I would love some!!

[ahverypro]

wow

you must be proud of yourself

[erikmartin2]

Here's an idea -- maybe if you could make gradual cloth-filtered edges, so no ripples could reflect off any edges, you could freeze and reverse the ripples as well.

[erikmartin2]

Ingenious. I'm so making one.

[epurgatory]

No words can explain such beauty! LOVE IT, I'm making my own!

[lancebramsay]

Magnificent. I would like one.

[tkach5]

i have a few questions.. where is the drip sensor? does it have one? it works with a pic, like natetrue? and did you make your own code for the pic?.. it looks awesome!

[RadioactiveLegos]

Great job! What's the music?

[doctorrin]

Iceland Band...

Sigur Rós

ágætis byrjun is the album. First track off there I think: intro+svefn-g-englar

[luka1226]

anyone want one of these get in contact

[DarthXeno]

Where did you get it?

[luka1226]

i biult it man

[pitkilla]

@luka1226 Sell me one!

[rapheraph]

i so want one :)

[Kireseth01]

@luka1226 How much for one?

[manofthehoff]

Yay for strobe lights.

[hopeitshappy]

are u using a 555 or a pic?

[Theman3788]

I know that it may be farther back, but that is so simple. Honestly. did you see all the water in the guy's palm at the end? its just a bunch of fast drops, but its only illuminated at certain points, and its dripping fast enough that it looks like it isnt moving at all.

That being said, this is awesome and I want one.

[htlnatler]

hi luka!

where did you get the pump?

[luka1226]

nah there is no trickery involved with this at all. What you see is what you get its just an optical illusion.

[bananareaper428]

nvm about my last comment. i looked at outher vids and i knew i was wrong

[bananareaper428]

im not trying to dis this vidio but i think i found out how they do it

[thirdchild]

Ok, I want one too. I'll pay cash. ^^

[pfp215]

dude I want your time fountain! I'd buy it from you. Nice music btw. goes well with what's going on.

[luka1226]

soon ;)

[RPazzaJ]

Where do I buy one?

[peperutti]

Very good!

I want to do one for me... but how to build the Adjustable Strobe for Leds??

Thank you

[Arkarinum]

What's the name of the music used in this video? Thanks!!!

[TremblayCT2]

Sigur Ros - Svefn-g-englar

[jreicher]

What brand/SKU of the valve are you using to produce such nice, large, discreet drops?

[samapoil]

on what web site could i read about the 555 method

[mdf607]

thanks again for selling this to me. ive had to filter the water once due to friends leaving the splash things in the water making rust stuff flake off & clog it. still works perfectly, but i think im going to try orange or pink hi-lighter next!

[luka1226]

everything you see here is my own, i biuld this from scratch useing the 555 timer method. if any of you peeps out there are trying to make one the 555 method is by far the best trust me :)

[ZTron57]

By far, much cleaner looking than Nates (who is an awesome dude for thinking of this). Excellent job for sure luka1226. Top strobe is much better. Did you buy the parts from Nate and modify them, or did you make it from scratch?

[SlykeThePhoxenix]

LAWL!!!

[mdf607]

i own this. its amazing. very trippy :]

[zezimaowner123]

can you please tell me how to get all the equiptment for that, cause ive always wanted to do it. oh and is it water thats falling, or goo?

[publicskibum]

excellent! nice design! how many L.E.D.s did you end up using? and did you have fluorescein in the water? again bravo

[luka1226]

yeah the light from the top is deffinatley the way to go , you dont get distracted by the glar of the lights this way

[alysdexia]

illiterate

[eigio]

Wow it seems really stable. And the light from top is more efficient I think.

[JMacMoney3912]

whoa...
