A musical fountain is a type of animated fountain
for entertainment purposes that creates an
aesthetic design (including three-dimensional
images). This is achieved by employing the
effects of timed sound waves and timed light
(including laser) against water particles. The
water refracts and reflects the light, and in
doing so, three-dimensional images can be
produced.
Installations can be large scale, employing
hundreds of water jets and lights, and costing
into the millions of dollars, or in smaller
household forms, where a budget of one thousand
dollars is feasible. Musical features tend to be
complex, and require a degree of mechanical,
hydraulic, electrical, and electronic components
out of view that might be as impressive to its
audience as the show itself.
