A tethered unmanned aerial system (UAS) is described, wherein the flight of one or more UASs may be used in connection with a water and light display.

A water display is described including a wall or other structure upon which streams of water are shot. The direction, velocity, pressure and flow rate of the water streams may be varied to provide entertaining visual effects, which may also be choreographed with music, lighting or other features.

An ornamental liquid display utilizing a silicone oil as the circulating fluid. A circulator moves the fluid such that it interacts with an effect surface, creating sensory interest. The fluid may be supplemented with various dyes, fragrances, and particles, and the implementation of the display may create visual and/or auditory interests by the motion of the fluid. The display may additionally use a purifier or filter to remove outside contaminants from the fluid.

A self-cleaning fountain includes: a structure having two ends, defining a first flow way for a first fluid to flow along, wherein the structure defines holes for allowing a second fluid to flow through the holes; a pump system configured to pump the first fluid to a first end of the structure; a distributer located at the first end of the structure and configured to spray the first fluid received from the pump system onto the structure; a catch basin located at a second end of the structure for collecting the first fluid that has moved along the flow way to the catch basin; a photocatalytic coating on the structure; and a light source configured to direct light on the photocatalytic coating.

A nozzle assembly for residential splash pads can include a housing disposed at an interface of the residential splash pad and one or more channels configured to direct a flow of a fluid out of the nozzle assembly and into the residential splash pad. An energy-emitting fixture (such as an LED) can be disposed within the housing and configured to emit energy into the residential splash pad. The nozzle assembly can include a generator and a turbine connected to the generator. The nozzle assembly can further include a flow-diverting mechanism to direct the flow of the fluid to the turbine and increase the velocity of the flow of the fluid at a turbine interface.

A pool side shading device that includes: an inflatable object, where inflatable object is placed near a swimming pool; a platform, where the platform is an integral part of the inflatable object; a flow of water over the platform, where the flow of water descends into the pool; and a water source, where the water source provides water for the flow of water. The inflatable object may preferably configured as a rock formation. The water source may be a water hose or water from the swimming pool through a pump. Further, the flow of water may be adapted to recirculate over the platform.

The present disclosure relates to a water sprayer and various features thereof. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a water sprayer for use in a pool, and to a method for using the same. In various embodiments, the water sprayer may include a water output mechanism and a light source that is powered by flowing water to provide illumination functionality.

A nozzle changing device to remove and attach nozzles to a water shooting device is described. The device allows for removal and attachment of various nozzles on a water shooting device during or after a water display without the need for a technician to manually change the nozzles. The device may be independent or attached to the water shooting device.
