Abstract:
1. A water activated chiming device to produce tones of random sequence and degree, comprising: at least one resonating means for producing a tone or sound when impacted, a free hanging striker suspended along a vertical axis adjacent to said resonating means for striking said resonating means, a means for delivering an upward flow of water having an apex located substantially on said vertical axis to said striking means for exciting said striking means resulting in chaotic impacts with said resonating means to produce tones of random sequence and degree, a means for adjustable suspension of said striking means along said vertical axis whereby elevating said striking means relative to said apex decreases the production of tones of random sequence and degree and lowering said striking means relative to said apex increases the production of tones of random sequence and degree, and a means to support and align the elements.
