## Abstract

A device to moving a water shooter is described. The device may contain features that allow the device to travel submerged in a reservoir with a water shooter attached. The device may travel along a fixed track, rotational boom, or be free swimming in order to move the water shooter within the reservoir so that unique water effects may be achieved.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A water display, comprising:
a reservoir that includes walls containing water and that includes a surface which is submerged in the water;
one or more generally circular or oval shaped tracks that are submerged in the water, and that are mounted to and extend along the submerged surface;
one or more additional tracks that are coupled to the one or more generally circular or oval shaped tracks, that are submerged in the water and that are mounted to and extend along the submerged surface;
a moveable platform that is submerged in the water and that engages the one or more generally circular or oval shaped tracks and the one or more additional tracks; and
at least one water delivery device that is coupled to the submerged moveable platform and that emits a stream of water having an upward trajectory which is unobstructed and which is visible to one or more observers beyond the reservoir;
wherein the submerged moveable platform travels on the one or more generally circular or oval shaped tracks and the one or more additional tracks along the submerged surface in the reservoir and thereby moves the water delivery device to different locations in the reservoir.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The water display of claim 1, wherein the surface includes a track grid and the movable platform travels along the track grid.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The water display device of claim 2, wherein the track comprises a plurality of tracks arranged in a grid.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The water display of claim 1, wherein the track includes a rotating boom and the movable platform travels along the rotating boom.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The water display device of claim 4, wherein the rotating boom comprises a track and the movable platform travels on the track of the rotating boom.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The water display of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the at least one water delivery device is submerged in the water.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The water display of claim 1, further comprising a rotating platform mounted to the surface, wherein the track is mounted to the rotating platform and the movable platform travels on the rotating platform.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The water display device of claim 7, wherein the rotating platform comprises a track and the movable platform travels on the track of the rotating platform.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The water display of claim 1, wherein the movable platform includes one or more wheels.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The water display of claim 1, wherein the water delivery device is coupled to the movable platform via a gimbal.

### Claim 11

A water display, comprising:
a reservoir that includes walls containing water and that includes a surface which is submerged in the water;
a track that is submerged in the water, and that is mounted to and extends along the submerged surface;
a moveable platform that is submerged in the water and that engages the track; and
at least one water delivery device that is coupled to the submerged moveable platform and that emits a stream of water having an upward trajectory which is unobstructed and which is visible to one or more observers beyond the reservoir;
wherein the submerged moveable platform travels on the track along the submerged surface in the reservoir and thereby moves the water delivery device to different locations in the reservoir; and
wherein the track comprises one or more generally circular or oval shaped tracks.

### Claim 12

A system for providing a moving water display, comprising:
a reservoir that includes walls containing water and that includes a surface which is submerged in the water; and
a moveable platform that is submerged in the water;
at least one water delivery device that is coupled to the submerged moveable platform and that emits a stream of water having an upward trajectory which is unobstructed and which is visible to one or more observers beyond the reservoir;
a propulsion mechanism that is submerged in the water and that is coupled to the submerged moveable platform;
wherein the submerged moveable platform is propelled by the propulsion mechanism to travel along the submerged surface and thereby move the water delivery device to different locations in the reservoir;
wherein the surface includes a track and the movable platform travels along the track; and
wherein the track comprises one or more generally circular or oval shaped tracks.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The system of claim 12, wherein the surface includes a rotating boom and the movable platform travels on the rotating boom.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The system of claim 13, wherein the rotating boom comprises a track and the movable platform travels on the track of the rotating boom.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The system of claim 12, wherein at least a portion of the water delivery device is submerged in the water.

### Claim 16 (depends on 12)

The system of claim 12, further comprising a rotating platform mounted to the surface and the movable platform travels on the rotating platform.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The system of claim 16, wherein the rotating platform comprises a track and the movable platform travels on the track of the rotating platform.

### Claim 18 (depends on 12)

The system of claim 12, wherein the movable platform includes one or more wheels.

### Claim 19 (depends on 12)

The system of claim 12, wherein the water delivery device is coupled to the platform via a gimbal.

### Claim 20 (depends on 12)

The system of claim 12, wherein the track comprises a plurality of tracks arranged in a grid.

### Claim 21

A water display, comprising: a reservoir that includes walls containing water and that includes a submerged surface, a generally circular or oval shaped track which is submerged in the water and which is mounted on and extends along the submerged surface, and at least one water delivery device that is coupled to a moveable platform which is submerged in the water, and that emits a stream of water having an upward trajectory which is unobstructed and which is visible to one or more observers beyond the reservoir, wherein the submerged moveable platform is configured to move along the track along the submerged surface.
