The Time Fountain

Fluorescent drops are illuminated by strobing UV LEDs. The strobes are synchronised to each drop as it falls. The strobe delay can be varied to move the drops in slow motion or even to reverse the time. The drops can be interacted with in real time.

Parts list:
- One small fountain and pump. Preferably battery-powered so we can power the pump with simple electronics. Try eBay for "battery fountain".
- About 32 UV LEDs. Available cheap on eBay (search for "UV LEDs")
- A short length of brass tubing
- Brass rods to solder the LEDs to
- Two NPN power transistors (TIP31 is what I used)
- A PIC16F628 suitably programmed
- One op-amp (LM741 or LM328 will do)
- Some other components (resistors, capacitors)
