Abstract
A water display is described having different layers that each include a geometric shape. Water is provided to and drained from the display to vary the height of the water between the layers of the display. As the water height increases or decreases from one layer to another, pools of water assuming the geometric shapes formed in a given layer appear. The geometric shapes formed in a given layer appear. The geometric pools of water transform shapes as the water is raised or lowered.
Claims14
A water display, comprising:
- a reservoir that contains water;
- a plurality of layers that are located over the reservoir, wherein each layer includes a plurality of geometric shapes that are separated from each other and that define areas that are separate from each other;
- a system to raise and lower water to and from the reservoir to vary the height of the water;
- and
- a plurality of pools of water that are contained in the areas, that are separate from each other, and that have geometric shapes displayed according to the height of the water.
2 more elements
A water display, comprising:
- a pool structure capable of holding water and comprising:
- at least one geometric shape section that is supported over the water and that includes a vertical stack of layers each having a vertical thickness and horizontally defining an internal open region having a geometric shape, wherein the geometric shape of the internal open region of each layer differs from that of the internal open region of any other layer to which it is vertically adjacent;
- and
- a system to raise and over the water into and out of the at least one geometric shape section so that the height of water held by the at least one geometric shape section can be selected to fall within the height of any of the layers.
