That guy is one good inventor. He's the one who made the Dyson vacuum.

Knew I'd seen this before, just didn't realize it was that old until I looked at article date...2003! Definitely a cool idea though.

Sort of a real-life Escher, isn't it?

I wonder if it will stay clean over time. I suppose it could be chlorinated. Otherwise that clear water will turn green/brown.

well.......... the original was probably not set up for long........ I guess if you had a long term fountain like that you would chlorinate it because it sure would be a biotch to clean those.

It's an illusion. Everyone knows bubbles flow UP in a water column. His column is just an odd shape.
