[edit] Wasserspiel

Can anyone add information about Wasserspiel - fountains as playful practical jokes? They were in vogue a few hundred years ago in Europe, and several delightful examples still exist. They don't quite seem to fit the definition of "Animated fountain," and I don't see any other place for them. Ideas? Rklawton 19:25, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Traditional Fountains

What powered them? How did they work? I came away from this article assuming that in the medieval ages they had 12v solar panels. C'mon, get in with the nitty gritty!  :D Heron's Fountain is potentially one method if built on a large scale and emptied with reverse-bellows of some sort to keep it powered, but really, how'd the romans do it?

Four months and no answer, does anyone have any input on this subject so we can expand this article a little more? Please, anyone? Jachin 12:48, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
