clipper's remarks: This video show how the waterfigures are created.

This video&image show the forming of the waterfigures.
A falling droplet fall to the formed waterfigure and a flying projectiel pull through the droplet forming a new splash on the air. The projectiel is activated by a high power unit, this act as a coilgun system and give a stable traject. The falling droplet pass through a laserbeam and generate a signal for the exact timings of all the necessary modules. The waterfigures are generated on a waveform. This waveform is a digital data and can be adjusted in time, form, frequence and volume to develop the correct figure.

The 36 Views of Mount Fuji is a series of woodblock prints created between 1826 and 1833 by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Popular in the West, it’s one of the most well known Japanese art works due the widespread pop-culture reproduction of The Great Wave of Kanagawa (the first picture in the series) into posters, t-shirts and postcards.

AMAZING STRIPED ICEBERGS

Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions.

Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with melt water and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.

When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe.

Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.
