  • NERDS!!!!!!!!

  • guilty :D

  • i went to my optic teacher to ask some question, it seams that you can strobe the LED more that once by each drop, so you can get the ilution of stped time, but also i still asking my self how to sinc the prop and give the ilution of falling slow or reverce. i think if you light the led more that once for each drom you will het better results and non blinking leds.

  • Yes, if you blink twice as fast as the drops are falling, you will see twice the amount of drops but they will till appear to be frozen in time.

  • did you just cchange the LED frequency or you work in something else there? and did you detect the falling drop also?

  • I've duplicated the drop detection scheme that Nate used and I've tried some other schemes that didn't work so well too.

    At this point I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to do something to smooth out the pump flow, I've gotten a newer DC pump that I can control the speed of, but since the drop rate is so slow (20-30htz max) it will be hard to modulate the pump's voltage to make the drip rate steady. I still have to play with it.

  • Whoa!

  • how long did it take to complete this?

  • great job!

    can anyone tell me the name of the song and the name of the composer?

  • lol i made mine out of water, a highlighter, knex, and a pump from one of those relaxing tiny fountains, and a tube from a fish tank cleaner and a party strobe light ( works the same and i dont have to turn the lights off). took me 10 mins. lol its pretty neat. yours is awesome too.

  • Work in progress? i would say done. And its a very good fountain good job.

  • hey did you buy the completly made fountain from nate or did you buy the kit? and also does it come with the thing that changes the frequency of the lights or is that seperate?

  • Is this Philip Glass in the background?

  • nicely done. that's worth building for sure.
