Introduction

Fire, water, earth, air - all life revolves around the four natural elements. Man has long learned to use them to his advantage. Each of us perceives the murmur of water, as well as the ticking of a clock, dancing tongues of flame or clouds floating across the sky, strictly individually. It depends on the person's temperament, mood and well-being. Sound water, as a rule, allows you to relax and calm down, recharge and reflect.

One day I came across a book for reading on physics. Leafing through it, I saw that you can make a fountain at home. I was interested in two questions: how does the fountain work and whether I myself can make it at home with the help of adults. Relevant this theme is also because it is now popular to have decorative fountains at home.

Chapter 1. general characteristics fountains

1.1. Fountains: history of origin

The first fountains appeared in Ancient egypt and Mesopotamia, as evidenced by the images on ancient tombstones. Initially, they were used for watering crops and ornamental plants. The Egyptians built fountains in orchards near the house, where they were set in the middle of a rectangular pond.

Similar fountains were used in Mesopotamia and Persia, famous for their beautiful gardens. Here in the East, they became even more popular.

Fountains were of great importance in China and Japan. Buddhist monks participated in the creation of the famous Japanese garden of Kyoto. Each element of this garden carries a special meaning and evokes a certain mood and state of mind in visitors.

The landscape and architectural basis of fountains and gardens in Europe was the Persian gardens. In the Middle Ages, gardens appeared at monasteries and, like the Persian garden, were divided into four parts - for flowers, herbs, vegetables and fruit trees. In the middle of the garden there was a well or a fountain - a place of solitude, meditation and prayer for the novices of the monastery. But basically, as in Ancient world, in the Middle Ages, fountains were used as sources of water supply - for watering and drinking.

Only with the beginning of the Renaissance did fountains in Europe become part of architectural ensemble, its bright accent, and sometimes the main element.

In modern fountains, a significant role is played by Hi-tech, new inventions.

1.2. How do fountains work?

The fountain device is based on the principle of communicating vessels. (appendix, figure 1) In communicating vessels of any shape and cross-section, the surfaces of a homogeneous liquid are installed at the same level. Water is collected in a container located above the fountain basin. In this case, the water pressure at the outlet of the fountain will be equal to the difference in water heights. Accordingly, the greater the difference in these heights, the stronger the pressure and the higher the jet of the fountain beats. The diameter of the fountain outlet also affects the height of the fountain jet. The smaller it is, the higher the fountain beats. (appendix, figure 1)

Fountain of Heron. (Appendix, Figure 2) The device consists of three vessels, placed directly one above the other and communicating with each other: the two lower ones are closed, and the upper one has the shape of an open bowl, into which water is poured, and also into the middle vessel, through the hole in the bottom of the bowl. , then closed. Through an open tube running from the bottom of the bowl almost to the bottom of the lowest vessel, water flows down from the bowl and, compressing the air there, increases its elasticity. The lower vessel is connected to the middle one by means of an open tube starting at its upper bottom and going to the upper bottom of the middle vessel, so that the air above the water surface is also compressed. By producing pressure on the water, the air forces it to rise from the middle vessel through a special tube drawn almost from its bottom into the upper bowl, where a fountain gushes from the end of this tube, which rises above the surface of the water. The height of the fountain, in ideal conditions, is equal to the difference in water surface levels in the middle and lower vessels. But the friction of the fluid moving in the tubes and other reasons reduce the height of the fountain. The fountain water falling into the bowl flows from it through a tube to the lower compartment of the device, where the water level gradually rises, and therefore the height of the pressure column, measured from the named level to the water level in the bowl, gradually decreases; the level of water in the middle vessel, as the water is consumed by the fountain, decreases. For these two reasons, the height of the fountain gradually decreases and, finally, the movement of water stops.

The column of water in the upper vessel to its surface in the lower one creates excess pressure in the lower vessel. Compressed air from the lower vessel transfers the resulting pressure to the middle vessel. (annex, figure 2)

1.3. Types of fountains

Natural. Naturally formed fountains are known, called geysers - as, for example, in Kamchatka.

Technogenic. An artificially created fountain is a gushing oil well. Batteries from many hot water fountains are used to cool it in thermal power plants. Decorative. In everyday life, a fountain is a specific hydrotechnical structure, which, as a rule, performs a decorative function. The utility function is drinking fountains , allowing to ensure increased hygienic safety when quenching thirst by the mass consumer. Drinking fountains are used to provide a drinking regime in educational institutions, in production workshops. Musical. A musical fountain is a type of fountain that has an aesthetic design and creates, in conjunction with music, an artistic presentation. The effect is achieved through the intersection of water waves and lighting effects created by spotlights or lasers.

1.4. Fountains in Everyday life

A beautiful fountain is an excellent cure for stress, from the hustle and bustle of everyday life of townspeople, an oasis of peace and joy, a place for relaxation and self-contemplation.

Chapter 2. Experimental Basics of the Project

From the proposed principles of the fountains, we have built a flowing fountain operating on the law of communicating vessels, as well as the Heron's fountain.

2.1. Creation of the model "City of Fountains" (based on communicating vessels)

Equipment:(appendix, fig. 3; photo 1-6)

Container for collecting water, 2 plastic bottles of the same size (water tanks), a tube from a dropper, a tube for an aquarium,

2 tips for a helium pen, 2 tips for a dropper, cardboard, glue, colored paper, container for a fountain, decoration.

2.Fasten the two plastic bottles (water tanks) to the supports.

3. Attach to them in the first case - 2 tubes from the dropper, in the second case - 2 tubes from the aquarium.

4. Remove the tubes through a container for collecting water

5. Attach the dropper tip to the tubes in the first case, and the helium pen tip in the second case.

6. Give an aesthetic look to the structure.

7. Conduct an experiment.

Research: Experience # 1(application, photo 7, 8, 9, 10)

"Dependence of the height of the jet in the fountain on the relative position of the communicating vessels"

Progress: By changing the height of the reservoir, with a constant diameter of the hole, we measured the height of the fountain jet.

Conclusion: the height of the fountain jet depends on the height of the vessel: the higher the vessel, the higher the jet of the fountain

Experience number 2 ( Appendix, photo 11)

"Dependence of the height of the jet in the fountain on the diameter of the hole"

Progress: without changing the height of the tank, we took different tips: from a dropper and from a helium pen and measured the height of the jet.

Conclusion: the smaller the diameter of the outlet, the greater the height of the fountain jet.

Experience number 3 ( Appendix, photo 12) "Dependence of the height of the jet in the fountain on the diameter of the tube of the communicating vessel"

Progress: without changing the height of the tank, leaving the tips from the aquarium, we changed the tubes.

Conclusion: the larger the tube diameter, the higher the height of the fountain jet.

2.2. Creation of the layout of the "Fountain of Heron"

Equipment: ( annex, photo 13 - 19)

Water collection container, 2 plastic bottles of the same size (water tanks), dropper tube, aquarium tube, 2 helium pen tips, 2 dropper tips, cardboard, glue, colored paper, fountain container, decoration.

Development of a technological process

1. Preparation of the workplace, tools, materials.

2. We connect three plastic jars of the same size.

3. We create tightness of containers and their joints.

4. Before sealing, insert the tubes (Appendix, Scheme 1)

5. Conduct an experiment.

Study was that if we assembled the structure correctly, the fountain will work .

Principle of operation:

Bowl. Let's call it the reference point - the start from which the liquid begins its movement in the system of Heron's fountain. This is an ordinary open container, made like a bowl or plate. From it, through a thin tube, water enters an empty container located at the very bottom of the fountain.

Bottom empty container. It serves two purposes. First, the water flowing from the bowl compresses the air contained in it and thereby creates the pressure necessary to push the water upward. And, secondly, water collects in it, which creates this pressure (that is, the one that flows down). Here she remains until the next recharge of the fountain.

The upper container - in a charged state, it is filled with water. It is this liquid that is pushed outward in the form of a thin stream of water. It is pushed out thanks to compressed air - the pressure formed in the lower flask. This air enters the upper flask through a thin tube, displacing the liquid from there, which, pouring out in a fountain, again falls into the bowl, from where, again, flows into the lower flask.

Conclusion: the scheme is correct - our fountain of Heron is working

Conclusion

I really enjoyed working on the fountain. It turned out to be pretty pretty. It was a very large and difficult practical work, and of course, there were things that I didn’t succeed, or did. I learned a lot about fountains and their history. I have carried out some experiments and made conclusions.

not all fountains use communicating vessels

in communicating vessels, a homogeneous liquid tends to be at the same level

the fountain beats not only due to the difference in water heights in communicating vessels

there are not so many things that are able to work independently, without an external source of energy, and Heron's fountain occupies a special place among them. Its main advantage is that it works thanks to the natural laws of nature, without wasting outside energy.

Any person may be interested in the answer to the question - “ how does the fountain work?", Because today you can often find fountains not only in squares and parks, but also in country houses or just at home on the table. Today fountains are classified into static, sculptural, musical and color-dynamic, but also indoor: floor and table. Despite the wide distribution, as well as the variety of shapes and sizes, the fountains have almost the same method of operation.

How does a fountain work?

Conditionally fountain can be characterized by a device in which water spilling from a source (in Latin means fons), then falling into a bowl of a certain shape, flows back into a container tank and then is used again. In other words, a fountain is a water cycle mechanism. The reservoir or container can be a real body of water or some kind of container, skillfully hidden, mainly in the base of the sculpture. If the fountain is installed "on land", then a fountain bowl is mounted under the base of the sculptural composition. The height of the fountain, in this case, directly depends on the size of the reservoir and the water pressure. The shape or pattern of the fountain is determined by the nozzle, which forms the flow of water and determines the appearance of the fountain.

In a closed cycle system, the water moves and rises up with a pump. It should also be mentioned that the water in the fountain is regularly renewed, since the initial supply of water, after a certain period of time (due to the evaporation of water and other factors), will not be enough for the full operation of the fountain.

By way of water supply fountains can be divided into: circulating and flowing ... In circulating fountains, water runs in a closed, closed system. And flowing fountains are distinguished by the fact that the water in them is constantly renewed. The main tank or reservoir at the circulation fountains is located at the bottom. This container, which varies in shape and size according to the fountain, is often a decorative ceramic bowl. From the bowl, water rises up with a pump. Then, rising to the top, the water flows back down into the reservoir. As a result, circulating fountains do not require water outflow and plumbing.
In flowing fountains, in which the water is constantly renewed, a reservoir is provided, where the water flows down and its discharge into the drain.

For fountains, submersible and surface pumps are used. Submersible pumps are used for ordinary simple fountains, and in the case of installing several fountains with a certain height difference, surface pumps are required.

Water and its sources have always been attractive to people. This applies not only to natural sources of water, but also to those created by the forces and skills of the person himself. Of course, we are talking about fountains.

What is the appeal of these structures? In those positive emotions that this non-stop water cycle can cause, so alluring and magical. The device of the fountain can be different, modern technologies allow you to create a project of a fountain that works virtually from scratch.

The classic scheme of a fountain device assumes the presence of two mandatory elements:

• bowls - its purpose is to separate the water flow in different directions. Another task of the bowl is to hide piping, equipment for adjusting water jets and lighting elements under a layer of water;
• pumping station, located in most cases in the underground part of the fountain. Pumping equipment is usually represented by two pumps - the main one and the reserve one.

There is also a make-up system that allows you to maintain the water level necessary for the normal functioning of the fountain. Most often, this system works in automatic mode using a solenoid valve connected to the control system.

The valve opens when a signal is sent from the meter-electrodes about the drop in the water level to the minimum allowable. After reaching the normal level, the valve closes automatically.

The fountain drain system is designed to remove water on the eve of the winter period or to clean the bowl.

The fountain device can include a lighting system, consisting of:

• sealed lamps installed in the bowl;
• control system, consisting of a timer, step-down transformers and other equipment installed in the pumping station.

Types of fountains

Depending on the design features fountains can be:

• static;
• color-dynamic;
• sculptural;
• musical.

The reservoir to ensure the water cycle in the fountain can be either a natural source - a river, a lake, a pond, or a very small container specially installed and decorated in plants or sculptures.

The appearance of the fountain determines its functional features. It can perform not only an aesthetic function, but also be a source of decorative lighting, as well as humidify and cool summer hot air.
The principle of the fountain is explained in detail in the video:

3 fountains "Joy of Victory", which are located in Moscow, on Poklonnaya Hill, have 6 bowls, they go in a semicircle, capturing the Museum building in the southeastern part. They are called segmental, due to the fact that they divide this semicircle into segments.

The jet nozzles, which are in the bowls, in the form of transparent glasses, were previously installed at the Four Seasons fountain, which is located on Manezhnaya Square.

The test run of the fountains takes place in mid-April, and they are finally launched every year, according to tradition, on April 30, when the mayor of the city opens the fountain season.

Fountain Riga

In 2007, a fountain was installed in the center of the park near the Rizhsky railway station in Moscow, which looks like a traditional European water intake structure, consisting of an octagonal bowl decorated with a bronze ornament along the edges of an octagon and a column located on a pedestal in the center. The top of the column is crowned with a 2.1 meter high bronze and wrought copper caravel rotating on an axis. White, red and brown granite was used in the facing of the fountain. Details are made of bronze and artificial granite. In the lower part of the pedestal there are niches in which streams of water pour from decorative elements. The illumination of the jets and the water mirror is carried out by hidden lamps located under the inner edge of the parapet of the fountain bowl. The height of the composition together with the caravel is 12 meters.

Fountain "Table"

The various fountains of the Ukrainian Boulevard make an indelible impression. Among them is the "Table" fountain - a bowl, decorated around the circumference with original elements, from which a multitude of streams of different heights emerge vertically.

Fountain-rotunda "Natalia and Alexander"

Fountain-rotunda "Natalia and Alexander" was installed in honor of the bicentennial of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin.

The fountain is installed near the Church of the Ascension of the Lord behind the Nikitsky Gate. It was here that Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin got married to Natalia Nikolaevna Goncharova.

The rotunda fountain was designed by architects Mikhail Belov and Maxim Kharitonov. The sculptural composition was made by sculptor Mikhail Dronov.

According to the architects, the new monument should have been harmoniously combined with the architectural image of the famous church. A couple in love - Alexander and Natalia - are surrounded by columns, which are crowned with a dome covered with a special composition that imitates gold.

The monument attracts many couples and newlyweds who come here for wedding photo sessions.

Fountain "Friendship of the peoples of the USSR"

The "Friendship of the Peoples of the USSR" fountain is one of the main attractions of Moscow. It was erected according to the design of the engineer V. I. Klyavin and the famous architect K. T. Topuridze, the construction work was carried out by a team headed by A. I. Bazhenova and I. M. Tchaikov. The building embodied the ideals of peace and friendship, which were the central line of politics and the main strategy of the USSR in the early 50s.

The fountain has a stepped granite base that resembles a flower and smoothly turns into a bowl-shaped sheaf of sunflowers and ears. Figures of 16 girls are installed near it, which symbolize the republics that were part of the USSR until 1956. They shimmer beautifully in the light of the sun's rays, as they are covered with gold leaf.

The surface of the water mirror of the fountain covers an area of ​​about 4 thousand square meters, and the volume of the bowl of the structure is 4000 cubic meters. In 2009, the "Friendship of the Peoples of the USSR" fountain was reconstructed - engineering communications were updated, and excellent lighting was installed, which changes 16 times per hour, and the supporting structures were strengthened.

Fountain "Geyser"

The Geyser Fountain is the main fountain of Manezhnaya Square and the most important fountain in the capital. Every year, on April 30 at 17:00, a small performance takes place here, at the end of which the Mayor of Moscow pronounces the words "Turn on the fountains!" and pours water from a special crystal horn into the "Geyser" bowl, and the first streams rise towards them.

The jets of the fountain shoot up sharply, fall and shoot again, like a geyser of a volcano. The fountain is the main one of the entire fountain complex, which runs from the Alexander Garden to Manezhnaya Square. It was installed in 1996. Since that time, only the inkjet design has changed, initially the jets flew up in the form of transparent glasses.

The fountain, on Manezhnaya Square in Moscow, "Geyser", includes a composition consisting of four horses in the center of the fountain - "Four seasons", each of the horses symbolizes certain time of the year. The sculptor of the entire composition is Zurab Tsereteli.

Fountain "Pillars"

If you move from the side Kievsky railway station to Kutuzovsky Prospect along the Ukrainian Boulevard, then the first fountain that will meet on the way - "Pillars". The fountain is a pool of irregular shape, from the water of which a series of powerful single jets are beating straight up.

Fountain complex "Years of War"

The fountain complex, called the "Years of War", was opened in Moscow, on Poklonnaya Hill in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Victory in 1945. The complex consists of five fountains located along Kutuzovsky Prospekt and is part of the Victory Memorial, which includes a museum, obelisk, church and sculptures.

The original solution is the red illumination of the fountain streams in the evening, which symbolizes the color of the blood spilled on the battlefields. And the streams of fountains installed opposite the Church of St. George the Victorious beat like a festive victory salute.

The entire fountain complex works around the clock, the maintenance of the structures is carried out from a single place.

Fountain "Music of Glory" in Kuzminki

The light and music fountain complex "Music of Glory" was opened on May 7, 2005 to the 60th Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

As conceived by the architects, the fountain was erected as a monument similar to memorial complex on Poklonnaya Gora. In one large octagonal bowl there is a whole complex of fountains, where the main components are the "Pyramid of Memory" and "Fanfare of Victory".

In the center of the bowl is an amphitheater made of pink granite - the "Victory Wreath". The bottom of the bowl is divided into black and white.

On the black half there is a ten-meter four-sided "Pyramid of Memory" made of red granite. The four sides of the pyramid symbolize the four years of war. The fountain water washes the pyramid, creating the feeling that the whole fountain is mourning for the fallen.

"Fanfare of victory", located in the light half, are seven silvery columns of different lengths, rushing into the sky and united by military flags. The height of the fanfare is about 21 meters. "Fanfare of Victory" symbolizes the music of the victory over the Nazi troops. White granite stone is located under the columns.

The fountain operates in two main modes - everyday and festive, which is accompanied by dynamic color and light-music effects. Several scenarios have been developed for the holiday mode, including "Battle", "Mourning", "Victory Salute", "War Waltzes".

In the southeastern district of the capital, the fountain is one of the central places for walks of Muscovites.

Fountain "Youth"

Located almost opposite the hotel Ukraine. In the center of the fountain there is a gilded sculpture by A. Burganov. The design is an elegant bowl with an openwork gilded bottom and water jets that directly create the image of the vessel itself. A tall gilded pillar emerging from the center of the bowl is crowned with a sculpture of a running girl. In the evening, the fountain is illuminated with decorative lighting.

Fountain "Adam and Eve"

The Adam and Eve fountain was opened in honor of the 860th anniversary of Moscow near the Novokuznetskaya metro station.

The sculptural composition was designed by a group of architects led by Viktor Simonikhin. The sculptor is Marina Levinskaya.

The fountain is a large bowl made of granite. In its center are Adam and Eve, who are sitting on a serpent. Eve holds an apple in her hands. Next to them is an openwork tree on which birds and insects, covered with gold leaf, sit. The water cascades down into the bowl and to the sides. In the evenings, the stream of water is decorated with multi-colored lighting.

There is a flower garden around the fountain.

Fountains on Poklonnaya Gora

the complex of fountains on Poklonnaya Gora is located in the west of Moscow. 5 fountains along Kutuzovsky Prospect are called "The War Years". It contains 15 fountain bowls, each of which beats 15 vertical jets. Their total number symbolizes the 225 weeks that the Great Patriotic War lasted.

Fountain "Clock of the World"

The World Clock fountain is the main dome of the Okhotny Ryad underground shopping arcade. This is a watch with a unique dial that contains the names of cities. The glass dome rotates slowly and makes a full revolution per day. By the clock you can find out the time in large cities world with an accuracy of five minutes, hence the name of the fountain.

To determine the time according to the "World Clock", you need to know some subtleties. The rotating dome is divided into 24 sectors, which are the time zones of the Earth. The bottom ring with numbers remains stationary. At what digit the time zone intersects with the fixed panel, there are so many hours in this city now. And the minutes can be determined by the lamps: one lit lamp means 5 minutes.

Fountain "Cascades"

The various fountains of the Ukrainian Boulevard make an indelible impression. Among them is the "Cascades" fountain, along the steps of which water flows smoothly into the pool located below. There is a balcony above the steps, from where you can look at the flowing water.

Vitali fountain

The Vitali fountain is located on Teatralnaya Square. This is the oldest operating fountain in Moscow. It was opened in 1835 and was called Petrovsky - after the former name of Teatralnaya Square. According to the idea of ​​the author - sculptor Ivan Vitali - under the fountain bowl there are 4 cupids: Poetry, Tragedy, Comedy and Music. At that time, the fountain was not just a decoration. Due to the insufficient development of the water supply of the capital, the city residents took water from it for their needs, here they watered the horses.

Today Vitali's fountain is a monument of antiquity and an interesting sight of modern Moscow. The first LED winter lighting was installed on it. Also around of this object there are many legends and rumors. According to one of them, it is believed that under the fountain is the entrance to the secret Metro-2.

Fountain "Stone Flower"

The Stone Flower fountain is truly a miracle of architecture, its amazing forms were inspired by Bazhov's fairy tales. This beautiful fountain adorns the Kolkhoz Square at VDNKh.

As well as historical monuments, many of which are more than two hundred years old, in the center of the Upper Pond there is a modern creation that has become a bright decoration of the old park. All guests of the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve strive to see the light and music fountain, this spectacle is especially impressive in the evening.

Now it seems surprising to us that during the reconstruction of the estate in 2005-2007, there was an acute question whether to install a fountain or not.

The fact is that the owner of the estate, Catherine II, was completely indifferent to the fountains and its arrangement, according to historians, could become another remake. However, their fears were in vain. The light and music fountain has become an important landmark of Tsaritsyno, leaving no visitor to the park indifferent.

Thanks to the successful choice of equipment, viewers get maximum aesthetic pleasure and at the same time can enjoy the charm of antiquity in Tsaritsyno Park.

The fountain uses 82 pumps with power ranging from 7 to 45 kW. Four melodies were chosen as musical accompaniment: "Waltz of the Flowers" and "March" by composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, as well as two melodies by Paul Mauriat.

• Fountain depth 1.2 - 1.5 meters
• Bowl radius - over 27 meters (surface area - 2400 sq. M)
• Number of underwater lamps - 2583
• Number of fountain circles - 12
• The height of the jets is up to 15 meters (depending on the light and music solution).

The work is controlled by a computer, and for each melody a certain height, direction and power of the jets (915 of them are formed) and its own illumination are selected.

Opening hours of the fountain in Tsaritsyno in 2020

• May to October daily - from 9:00 to 23:00
• The backlight works from 21:00 to 23:00

The light and music fountain in Tsaritsyno is a marvelous sight. You will find yourself in a fabulous atmosphere, where the stream of water turns into hundreds of jets and splashes, playing in the sparks of light. Meeting with the overflow of sound, water fantasy gives rise to beauty and grandeur, touching the soul.
