The battery compartment is an inverted cup-shaped body, the opening of the cup facing down, the bottom of the cup being on the top, and the cup-shaped body being sleeved inside the outer cylinder (9). A water storage chamber is located at the interior wall of the outer cylinder (9), above the bottom of the battery compartment cup. The LED/water pump assembly (4) is mounted inside the water storage chamber, and comprises: being equipped with an LED-PCB board (42) for an LED, as well as a water pump (43) and a water drainage pipe (41). The LED-PCB board (42) is waterproofed, and the water outlet of the water pump (43) is connected to the water drainage pipe (41). The flow-guiding cover (10) is provided with a flow-guiding hole, and the water drainage pipe (41) is in communication with the flow-guiding hole. The peripheral edge of the flow-guiding cover (10) is lower than the upper end face of the outer cylinder (9), and there is a gap, used for draining water, between the flow-guiding cover (10) and the inner wall of the outer cylinder (9). The control board (3) is mounted inside the battery compartment, and the LED/water pump assembly (4) is electrically connected to the control board (3). The LED of the electronic fountain candle simulates the weak light of a conventional lamp, while the circulation of water simulates the sound of flowing water in a natural environment, creating a natural and tranquil ambiance.

One embodiment of an apparatus having plurality of stands includes a central stand member 3600H at middle; a plurality of peripheral stand members including a plurality of peripheral stand members wherein each peripheral stand member 3700A further including a horizontally elongated stand 3701A fastened to the central stand member 3600H, and a plurality of peripheral stand members wherein each peripheral stand member 3716 further including the horizontally curved stand 3717 mounted between and fastened to one peripheral stand member 3700A at left and other peripheral stand member 3700A at right; and an electrical system 3800D being installed in the central stand member 3600H and in each peripheral stand member 3700A of the plurality of peripheral stand members for lighting plurality of light bulbs being mounted on plurality of peripheral stand members and for operating water fountain on top of the central stand member 3600H. Other embodiments are described and shown.

The present invention discloses an electronic fountain candle, comprising a candle body, wherein a chamber is formed in the candle body, a stepped water storage tank is arranged in the chamber, and a cover plate is connected to steps of the water storage tank; a first through hole and a plurality of second through holes are formed in the cover plate, a top of the first through hole is higher than an upper surface of the cover plate, a plurality of first light emitting diodes are arranged on two sides of the top of the first through hole, and a bottom of the first through hole is lower than a lower surface of the cover plate and is connected with a water pump; tops of the second through holes are higher than the upper surface of the cover plate; and a power unit.

A hydromechanical display device includes a reservoir, a pump, an upper pressure chamber, a plug-in receptacle containing a plug-in variable pressure module, a control valve, and a lower channel, including a constant pressure compartment and a variable pressure compartment.

A method for appreciating water balls using a water balls appreciation device, including a water balls discharge device and a light irradiation device, the method including: discharging the water balls, using the water balls discharge device, from tips of a plurality of nozzles, disposed at predetermined intervals in the lateral direction, by applying vibration to flowing water, the discharged water balls falling downwardly and in substantially a vertical plane; irradiating the water balls, using a light irradiation device, with light, the light irradiation device comprising a high-speed projector having a refresh rate of 300 Hz or more; and projecting a continuous screen of the projector in the water balls in the vertical plane regarded as a virtual screen by properly using a frame displaying a screen or an image and a frame not displaying a screen, so that a blinking duty is 20% or less, whereby the water balls are visually appreciated in the projected area. Then, by changing the timing of light emission for passing light through the image, it is possible to appreciate the movement of the water balls that changes in various manners.

Disclosed is two-tier fountain with a continuous scupper. A continuous scupper is a 360-degree, unrestricted border (i.e., continuous), scupper in an upper basin that creates an inward flowing laminar sheet of fluid. A continuous scupper maintains a laminar flow for great distances so that the fluid falls in a circular cascade sheet. On reaching the lower basin, the fluid creates a limited amount of turbulence during entry and therefore a reduced splash. The continuous scupper may be circular, or may have simple to complex variations that create different forms of circular cascade sheets. The upper basin may be open to the atmosphere, or may be closed to create even more spectacular circular cascade sheets.

Plastic grid or framework arrangements are used to support and position of bowls that hold flower arrangements, candles, letters, and other decorative elements. These grids are deployable in water fountains, indoor and outdoor pools, and other small bodies of water during festive occasions or for longer term decorative display. The grid themselves do not float, and are positioned below the surface of the water, and thus are not readily visible. Buoyancy is provided at the hubs that form nodes in the grids. The hubs also support floating bowls containing various decorative elements. The resulting effect is that the various decorative elements appear to be floating on the surface while the sub-surface grid structure maintains their relative positioning, keeping the bowls from clumping together at the edges or in the corners of the pool or fountain.

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.
