How Does Jeep's Waterfall Show Work?

on
JeepThe Jeep waterfall display has been a cornerstone of the Chrysler brand's auto-show presence since 2000. According to the waterfall's builder, the system works like an ink-jet printer, with 3,000 valves organizing the droplets via computer program into visible logos and other messages, which appear as the droplets descend 24-feet into a trough!

Update: More information about this display can be found in the comments section and also at Pevnick Design.

Thanks, Andrew !

The Waterfall was created by Professor Stephen Pevnick who is a Professor of Art at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. He built the Graphical Waterfall, then Called “Rainfall”, in 1979 using only a circuit board and a few valves.

The Graphical Waterfall has been shown on four continents in cities such as Paris, London, Geneve, Basel, Frankfurt, Hannover, Johannesburg, Beijing, Bangkok, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angels and many others. In 1995 the “Rainfall” went to Berlin for a major exhibition for artists and designers.

Professor Pevnick was very honored when the people at GPJ and Daimler Chrysler asked him to be at the shows for Jeep.
