Abstract:
1. An apparatus for pixelating falling water droplets to create a graphical image, the apparatus comprising an elevated water display head formed from a series of two or more modular units, each of the series of two or more modular units has a water reservoir, a plurality of high speed solenoids located below the water reservoir, a first replaceable nozzle plate having a plurality of spaced apart nozzles arranged on the replaceable nozzle plate in a manner to provide a first intended display and each of said nozzles having a water inlet and a water outlet, wherein one of said plurality of high speed solenoids is connected to each nozzle, wherein the water reservoir is provided above the solenoids and the water inlets for said nozzles so that water pressure to the nozzles is maintained by gravity and wherein a programmable micro-controller is provided with each of the modular units for controlling the water supply to the water reservoir and for controlling the formation of the falling water droplets through each solenoid and nozzle, whereby water droplets falling from said plurality of nozzles from each of the modular units forms part of the graphical image and wherein a second replaceable nozzle plate having a plurality of spaced apart nozzles arranged on the second replaceable nozzle plate in a manner to provide a second intended display may be interchanged into the elevated water display head for the first replaceable nozzle place in order to provide a different display.
