Garden See-Saw Water Feature
Posted by: NigelLoller
Video duration: 139 seconds
Water-powered see-saw with copper "men", working by the weight of the water in the high side of the see-saw tube lowering that side, causing a rolling ball to close the water supply to that side, therefore starting to fill the new high side. Cycle repeats automatically.
The seesaw, supports and mesh supporting the gravel are 316 stainless steel, the men are copper.

Water Wheel Flower with counter rotating 'petals'
Posted by: NigelLoller
Video duration: 137 seconds
This is my Kinetic 'flower' again made from copper tubes,bent ,cut and soldered to the shapes seen here..The two hubs are internally fed with water that flows from cutouts on either side of the tube into at least two of the copper 'spokes'.The resulting extra weight on that side causes the entire assembly to rotate

This Is my water wheel made from alloy sheet and box section running on stainless shaft and Nylatron bushes...The animated 'men' are just copper pipe and plumbing fittings
The wheel has heaps of power spare for other possible moving things!
Water supply is a small (10w) recirculating pump with the flow regulator turned right down
