A fluid display device has a plurality of liquid outlet nozzles configured to emit liquid droplets. The nozzles are arranged in a horizontal row, a plurality of light emitters aligned with a vertical travel path of the liquid droplets and coplanar with a vertical plane of the falling liquid droplets. The light emitters are configured to illuminate the droplets. A controller synchronizes illumination of the liquid droplets with pixels in an image. A pattern of illumination of the droplets creates a visible image in the vertical plane of the falling liquid droplets.

An indication device is provided which has an electrically conductive fluid driven by an MHD pump. The fluid has an indicator surface driven adjacent indices of an indicator so as to indicate a quantity. A position of the indicator surface is sensed and controlled to ensure accurate indication of the quantity. Optionally, the quantity indicated is time.

An illuminated novelty frame for displaying a feature in motion is disclosed, having a frame and two panels that are separated by a gap and seated within the frame. At least one of the panels is transparent, and each panel is supported by the frame at an interface. An electric motor is supported by the frame and when energized induces movement of a decorative feature that is positioned to move and be visible between the two panels. A light source, also supported by the frame, is oriented to illuminate at least the feature.
