Quiet Rushing Fountain

Abstract

David Noble, the president of the Noble Foundation, has commissioned our team to design and build a quiet rushing fountain to be displayed at the University of Michigan Depression Center. This fountain is to move the water by the force of the water itself. An initial design was created and the individual components and mechanisms were then fully optimized, fabricated, tested, and evaluated. The outcome, from all processes listed above, is a design for a quiet rushing fountain that fascinates its observers.
