Abstract: An evaporative cooling unit that sprays a water mist into the air to cool the air by evaporation of the water mist is disguised as to its function and purpose by including the misting nozzles and water supply conduits in a decorative structure, such as an artificial flower arrangement or plant. The misting unit of the invention includes a base and a decorative structure extending from the base. A water conduit extends through the base from a base end with a fitting for attachment to a source of pressurized water such as a garden hose, into the decorative structure where it ends in at least one decorative structure end with a misting nozzle thereon. The base may take the form of a flower pot with the decorative structure taking the form of flowers or a plant extending from the flower pot.

Water in the reservoir, 5, enters the pump, 1, where it is pressurized, thence through the adjustable valve or flow control means, 3 through the tubing, 2. to the laminar nozzle, 4. The laminar stream, 6, emanating ftom the laminar nozzle, 4, forms a graceful arch and then falls back into the reservoir, 5, to repeat the cycle. In another embodiment of the invention the fountain includes one or more additional laminar or non-laminar nozzles. In another embodiment the fountain above in which the laminar nozzle(s) contain internal lighting means for producing lighted laminar streams. In another embodiment in the fountain, the laminar stream(s) are interrupted to form jets of water which appear to leap ftom place to place.

Abstract: A vertical water wall assembly (100) for generating dynamically changing water patterns in a contained channel (114) behind a viewing surface. The water wall assembly includes a translucent front sheet (110) directed toward a viewing space with a rear side containing a multiplicity of concave depressions (111), and a rear sheet (140) disposed behind and in proximity to the front sheet that in part acts as a contrasting background. The edges of these sheets are sealed (120, 122) and water is made to flow in the space defined between the two sheets, entering at the top of the sheets (135) and exiting at the bottom of the sheets (150). The flow of water into the water wall at the water inlet (125) is time varying and is preferably computer-controlled (190). In operation water flowing in the contained channel (114) of the water wall takes dynamic, chaotic pathways through the multiplicity of concave depressions (111). As individual depressions fill and empty, air bubbles that formerly occupied the depressions propagate down the contained channel. This behavior generates a non-uniform nullbubblingnull sound in the water wall, while contributing to the overall visual effect of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a Water-Ball structure, which is comprised of a base, a water pumping and draining device, a model, a waterproof separating plate, a motor, and a transparent upper lid. Wherein, an appropriate proportion of oil and water are poured into a closed space, which is formed by the waterproof separating plate and the transparent upper lid. By the characteristic that oil is lighter than water and by the motion of the water pumping and draining device, the water, sunk in lower layer, is injected into upper oil layer through the pipelines inside the interior of the model. The major characteristic is that each magnetic element is arranged respectively on the rotating blade of the water pumping and draining device and the axis center of the motor. When the motor, arranged under the waterproof separating plate, is rotating, it will directly active the rotating blade located above the waterproof separating plate to rotate by magnetic power. That is, without drilling hole in the waterproof separating plate, the motor can directly active the rotating blade to rotate and to reach the solid and better function of waterproof.
