Columbiana Grande, Columbia SC (1999) |
This fountain located in Columbia, South Carolina is equipped with 16 ultrasnic sensors that cause the effect of the water appearing to follow viewers as they walk around the pool. Jumping Jets are mounted on hydraulic rotators and "follow" people around the fountain, using the input from the ultrasonic sensors. Aggressively wind controlled, under calm conditions the central cascade can attain display heights of 30'. Splash is contained by a barrier wall made of water from surrounding cascade nozzels. This fountain features both an "interactive" mode for when people are around and triggering the sensors and a "show" mode for when no one is close enough to cause it to animate. Control is by Mitsubishi PLC and touchscreen. |
