| I've yet to implement this idea, but it is very cool! To make a working fountain, submerge a pneumatic pump in water. Have a tube coming out of the pump and have its end out of the water. Push the pump and a very nice jet of water streams out of the (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.build)
