I finally got the video to upload.  I will make a better one at a later date but, you can get the idea from this one.


Here is the schematic I based my device on:

It is great to be back with you and the old gang again.  God only knows what we might do this time, ha ha.

Man, I love the looks of that fluorescent paint in there. A couple UV LEDs will really jazz that fountain up!

TK:

Thanks.  I found 2 of my uv leds and I also have a 60 watt edison black light bulb.  I will play around with them and see what kind of effects I can get.  If it is anything worth seeing, I will make a short vid of it.

PS  That is about a shot glass worth of the water based paint mixed in with  about 20 oz of water so, it does not glow as good as 100% paint but it also does not change the viscosity either.  It might be interesting to try to run it on 100% paint which is pretty thick but flows easily.

Great Project guys . Progress thru replication . Who knows what you might see that wasn't discovered when it was build in the beginning . ;; I can float valves and more stages and all kinds of cool things . Even air battery powered  dc pump to aid in the swap ..just a dream .

Al:

I agree with you.  What about using ferro fluid as the liquid?  I read up on it and it is called " liquid magnets".  So, now could we wrap all of the tubing with copper wire (coils) and generate anything from this I wonder?  Would Lentz place too much drag and stop the flow?  Hmmmm......just thinking out loud here.
