Lord Kelvin's Water Dropper Fountain
« on: July 16, 2024, 03:31:38 PM »
Hello everyone. I just wanted to share a water fountain I built that was inspired by Lord Kelvin's water dropper experiment from the 1800s.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_water_dropper

It is styled a little different from the original experiment. You can see the streams of water being attracted to the metal plates and then snapping back when the system discharges. Made from mostly parts from Home Depot, with the exception of the short hoses because the ones there were too long. I got the short size hoses off Amazon.

You can see a silly little video showcasing it here:
