Laminar Jet Construction - Part 1

It took me a lot of patent and internet research in addition to many tries and hours of time to get a nice looking stream. Don't give up, once you get that beautiful arch of laminar water it is very gratifying. Thanks to The University of Tulsa Machine Shop (Dave and Terry) and the ENS Dean for sponsoring the fountain.

This is also a great website that I used to gain insight on how laminar jet's are built:

Thank you so much:) This is awesome information! I love learning how things work, even if it isn't something I'll do myself. I believe "learning something new" every once in a while helps to keep our minds sharp! I am looking forward to learning all about how to create "jumping water" with music! Why is it so important to remove ALL turbulence? Is there anyway to add colored lights to each "jet/stream of water?" So, there could be flashes of more than one color in a single spray? Thanks:)
