Strobe lights are used in everything from photography, to haunted houses, and in both cases, they have an amazing effect on our perception of time. Harold “Doc” Edgerton was an American electrical engineer who created high-speed photography techniques by developing and improving strobes to seemingly freeze objects in time and space.
His “Piddler” machine used a stroboscopic technique that made water droplets appear as if they were levitating or even flowing backward. This is the inspiration behind the Time Fountain from jolliFactory.
This Time Fountain DIY Kit gives you the basic building blocks you need to build a small and portable version of this concept. An Arduino Nano or compatible microcontroller is required, but not included in the kit.
A few add-ons are also offered, including the main panel fit, enclosure, and an Arduino Nano clone microcontroller pre-loaded with the JF Time Fountain program. Detailed instructions are also available on Instructables.
Prepare to be amazed as you watch this fountain in action below!
