I would call it Drawing with Water, but impressive nonetheless.

I'm thinking... build a larger simplistic model along the coast line of a bay so you can create focused wave forms that converge on some type of turbine for power generation.

The combined energy to create the wave along with any inefficiencies in transmitting the energy in wave form would result in a huge net loss of energy.

I can't think of any practical applications for this technology, outside of maybe a water park or fancy fountain. Regardless, it is cool to watch so thanks for posting.>> ^raverman:

This is so cool and elegant. They should have a miniature version of this in differential equations/partial differential equations classes to illustrate boundary conditions and solution modes.

Sounds interesting, but you may use more energy than you create to do that. >> ^raverman:

if only it could clean up oil...

In other news, 12 year old girl becomes CEO of large Japanese industrial company, spearheads new R&D initiative.

So this is being done to study potential wave interations? Or just because it looks cool?

ENERGY DOES NOT WORK LIKE THIS. GOODNIGHT.
