A Floating Faucet Fountain

I remember as a kid going to one of those Home Shows – where various vendors are trying to get your attention to sell you stuff – and seeing a big “floating faucet fountain” where the faucet was suspended in mid-air and the water was flowing out of it.

I recently came across a mini-version of this floating faucet fountain while out and about earlier this week:

Pretty cool, huh!

Of course, the trick is the column of clear plastic inside the water flow that brings it up only to come right back down again! Turns out there’s a company that specializes in making these fountains!
