Well, that design was found at the Lions Club Expos when I was a kid. Don't know about that particular installment though.

You can also see it at most Ripley's museums. *Yawn*

The installment is a big pipe being covered by the water. And dissapearing by the white wash pressure being forced downwards contiusaly.

You can buy a smaller version at most Spencers. I thought it was pretty cool.

what is it

i saw one.. around 7 ft tall.. in a department store @ taipei, taiwan. (Eslite Hsing Yi store)

ive seen little home versions of this. A friend of mine had an "endless beer bottle" It used the same idea as this fountain. It was pretty cool

you can find this at gold coast austalia's and ripley's museum in genting highlands, malaysia

simple it has a pipe within the stream and saports the top...

This is quality, ive seen this its loacated at a water part in Tenerife, its pretty clever the way its done.

It's at aqualand in Cadiz - Spain.
Went there in the Summer.
=)
Never go there, it's a rip off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that actually is cool. ive never seen it before so i think its awesome, heh

welll basically everyone answered it what i was going to answer, but I want to say it anyways ^_^ the water goes down and in the inside the water goes up and i found tht at the ocean city maryland ripleys believe it or not museum

You can find one on Lanzarote. I believe it is made by the local artist Cesar Manrique.

Its really cool, and i know that there is a pipe holding this tap beneath the presaure of the water coming down. Its simple, water goes up the pipe and comes back down around the pipe looking like the tap is floating and letting out loads of water...
I wouldn't like to be underneath that pipe!

Translation: This trick is simple. The saucet is being supported by a pipe hidden within the stream of water.

cool

There's usually on at the NYS State fair. It's not as good though - you can kind of see the pipe.

Thanks for giving me the answer 50 million times...

the support beam is in the water.

Its at the aqua park in Tenerife!

tenerife - tis cool!

I thought it was a bathroom wall, with really good details...
Oh well. Still think it's cool.

i saw that illusion i the riple's belive it or not musem in ocean city,Md, too

sweet!
=^.^=

I've seen that trick before. i live on the east coast and theres a place called ocean city, where theres a ripley's believe it or not museum, and it has one of those never ending floating tapes. everythime i passed it i couldn't figure it out, til my cousin spoiled it for me and told me about the pipe in the middle....

nice pic too!

i dun get it..can sumone plz explain it to meee..all i see i sum cut of pipe wif water comin down..lmao

ffs its at all the bloody ripleys apart frm blackpools as i saw a chav walking down the street wid it

I guess everybody's been to OC, MD cause thats where i've seen it too. The water covers the pipe a lot better in this pic though.

I've seen this in Belgium in Germany.

wo this amazes me, and i had 2 reed sum1s comment and know i am mad cuz i know how it works

I've seen those at various waterparks in the US. They're pretty cool.

i saw one of these on my holiday in tenerife at the water park, a thick white pipe is hidden beneath the flow of water supporting it

There used to be one at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in England. Not sure if it's still there. Last time I saw it was probably 10 years ago.

its taking the moisture out of the air and all that moisture is coming out of the pipe, and its coming out with so much force that its supporting the pipe in midair? just kidding

theres a glass pipe where the water in flowing and it sucks in the water then spits it back out. it stands in the air cuz the glass pipe is stuck to the swimming pool or whatever it is.

i saw a huge one of these in Minorca

pipes hidden in the water? ye all are disbelievers, tis a divine tap! and the water flowing from it is HOLY WATER! Twas put there to symbolise the strength and importance of water on this land.

yea, I've seen one of those smaller ones of those. It has a pipe in it.

Theres a huge purple one in a museum on Phillip Island here in Victoria, Australia.

i've seen this, stick your hand in and u can feel a pipe going all the way up

theres one of them in menorca

its not photoshop or anything. they had soething like this at the Ripleys exebit. There is a perfectly clear pipe in the center with water running up it. It comes out at the top and flows down the outside of the pipe. Since the wole thing is covered in water, you can barley see the inside, making it look like just water

That's in Duinrell, in holland...?

i saw that in hollywood last summer.but i thought it was cool!

neww grl in twn!!! how are you all? mighty confused! don't use such strong langue, hence body art!! so, i seen one of these around in, uh, KINGSLEYS in the pokeanose!!!

duh!!!
i love you all!!!!!!!!!!
XXXXXXXXXXXXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
hippie joe
boi!!!

this is in tne waterpark in tenerife and i am goin there soon itis gonna b fab woooo 4rm jj in wales the best in the world exept tenerife

You can find one at a waterpark in grand beach manitoba!

the rest in in the water where you can't see.

well i don't know about this one but i do know an identical fountain is as the Ripley's believe it or not Museum in St. Augustine

wow where is that

I've seen that before, but it's still awesome!

It works because it has a clear plastic pipe in the middle of the water flow, holding up the structure, and pumping up water which is then forced out creating the illusion that it is floating in mid air, but you just see through the piping.

There is also a simular version to this in West Edmonton Mall, Alberta, Canada. In the indoor waterpark there is a childrens area which features this "invisible tap". It's funny to watch the little kids stare at it in amasement...

Proof it doesnt pay to treat people like idiots:

You take the trouble to publicly embarrass someone for their spelling, yet you cant spell your own Americanism?

Serves you right, smart alec.

Surely it isnt THAT painful to read other people's comments?

I've counted 14 DIFFERENT PEOPLE who have ALL given THE SAME ANSWER!!!

WE GET IT, THERE IS A PIPE, YOU DONT NEED TO SAY IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!

Now- who's betting someone below me is going to say it again?

Hey, umm, I think that there is one in the Ripley's musem and also the water is in a hose type thing that goes outta the runnning water faucet...But I wanna no how the faucet is being held up dat makes no since

there is a massive one in cala galdana in menorca

it comes from evaperation

I know!! they had mini, older looking ones at "the cracker barrel". by the way, good food! well, anyway, there is a clear, plastic tube where you see all of the water. the tube holds up the drain. yay for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
