Garden fountains nowadays are typically made from metal, though you can find them in other materials too. Those made from metals have clean lines and attractive sculptural elements, and are flexible enough to fit any budget and decor. Your landscaping should complement the style of your house. At present, copper is quite prevalent for sculptural ga
Features Hydro-Statics 101
When in equilibrium, liquid applies force to its container or any other material it comes in contact with. These fall into two types, hydrostatic load or outside force. The force applied by the liquid against a level wall is equivalent at every single point where it makes contact with the wall. Liquid in equilibrium will apply vertical pressure at

The Circulation of Water Fountain Engineering Knowledge in Europe
Throughout Europe, the chief means of dissiminating practical hydraulic information and fountain design suggestions were the published papers and illustrated publications of the time, which added to the advancement of scientific innovation. An unnamed French water fountain designer came to be an globally celebrated hydraulic innovator in the late 1
Water Lifting Devices in Early Fountains
Water-lifting systems date all the way back to the Hellenistic period and entail such systems as the Archimedes Screw, water wheel, and the pump invented by Ctesibius. Not one of these instruments were optimal, however, and all were incapable of bringing water to additional heights in adequate amounts, like the thirty meters between the Acqua Vergi
