Graphical water machine
A waterfall or fountain that has the capacity of printing images with water and a method for printing images by said water. The water inside such fountain is released out of nozzles in the form of parallel and regular lines of water.
1. A water fountain apparatus for printing shapes, comprising:
a water source;
a pipe with multiple outlets attached with nozzles placed in a straight line along the pipe, the nozzles configured to push water in parallel lines having the same speed, and the pipe being connected to the water source;
a cylindrical structure that consists of one or more of removable cylindrical surfaces that contain shapes to be printed, wherein the shapes to be printed are cut out from the one or more removable cylindrical surfaces, wherein the pipe is placed parallelly inside the cylindrical structure, and wherein when the cylindrical structure rotates around the pipe, the cut out shapes cut water lines that produce the printed shapes;
an electrical source;
a rotational energy source for rotating the cylindrical structure; and
a filtering component that contains one or more of curved or inclined sides, and a long gap, the filtering component placed under or above the cylindrical structure in parallel with the cylindrical structure, wherein the filtering component allow for undesired water to slide to a reservoir to be reused, and to allow for desired water to be used for printed shapes to pass through the long gap.
2. The water fountain apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
a direction of the parallel lines of the water is from top to down perpendicularly with earth, and an axis of the pipe is different from an axis of the cylindrical structure,
a distance between the axis of the pipe and the axis of the cylindrical structure enables the desired water to exit the cylindrical structure from an upper side and not from a bottom of the cylindrical structure, to prevent the desired water from mixing with the undesired water that is gathering below the cylindrical structure during the rotation.
3. The water fountain apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein shapes to be cut on the cylindrical surfaces, to be cut by connecting them with paths within the cylindrical surfaces wherein they do not intersect with the paths of the pumped water lines.
4. The water fountain apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in order to prevent paths of the water lines from hitting the inclined or curved edges of the rotating cylindrical structure, the shapes in the cylindrical surfaces are cut in stepped lines to ensure that edges of the cut shapes in the cylindrical surfaces will be completely parallel or completely vertical to the cylindrical structure, wherein when the edges cut the water lines, the edges will cut all the water lines in one direction, and will ensure that water will not spread in random directions.
5. The water fountain apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising one or more water wheels fixed with the cylindrical structure and configured to use driving force from water to rotate the cylindrical structure, the water being pushed from a controllable water source toward the one or more water wheels to lead to the rotation of the cylindrical structure.
6. The water fountain apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
a direction of the parallel lines of the water is from top to down;
the water fountain apparatus further comprises two arms connected to the cylindrical structure to form a swing;
the cylindrical structure rotates according to movement of the two arms; and
when a person swings on the swing, water falls vertically toward ground but not in a middle area below the swing.
7. The water fountain apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein barriers are provided at edges of the shapes in the one or more removable cylindrical surfaces, the barriers configured to gather water inside the barriers to prevent the undesired water from interfering with the printed shapes during the rotation.
8. The water fountain apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a pump and a pipe with multiple inlets connected to the pump to pump the undesired water into a reservoir to start a cycle over again, and to prevent the undesired water from gathering below the cylindrical structure during the rotation of the cylindrical structure.
9. The water fountain apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein extra multiple outlets are attached with nozzles in a straight line along the pipe, to increase quality of the printed shapes.
10. The water fountain apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a component with two curved or inclined surfaces and be placed inside the cylindrical structure to prevent the undesired water from gathering below the cylindrical structure during the rotation of the cylindrical structure.
11. The water fountain apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a direction of the parallel lines of the water is from down to top, and the water fountain apparatus further comprises a tank with an inclined roof placed on top of a water curtain so that, the water falls inside the tank upon hitting the inclined roof.
12. The water fountain apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a lighting system installed to light up a water curtain.
13. The water fountain apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a direction of the parallel lines of the water is from top to down, and the water fountain apparatus further comprises a pump placed on a bottom of the water fountain apparatus to push air in an opposite direction of the parallel lines of the water, to reduce a velocity of water falling and thereby make the shapes clearer to see.
14. The water fountain apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a container covering all or some parts of the water fountain apparatus.
