Water-Powered Flower

Transcript of video commentary

Well this is working quite well now, this is my kinetic art, it’s a cross between a water wheel and something else. It’s made of copper pipe with a stainless steel flower stem. The rotation is caused by water being fed internally up the pipe into the hub of each set of spokes and then out through opposite sides so that they counter-rotate, giving this rather good effect; as you can see it makes a nice pattern. At the moment it’s running with a total loss system but it will be caught and recirculated. It looks quite nice, like a flower, and it’s sitting in my circular flower bed as you can see, and its working really well! Like I say at the moment the water is pouring out onto the grass, but it will get caught. If I come around the side you can see the two discs; there it is from the front.
