Impossible Water Fountain - DIY

For the Fountain head:

​

Pump:
The height of the fountain is a function of the pump output and the nozzle size. If you get a bigger pump you can get a larger waster size for a fatter column of water or a skinny nozzle for a higher column of water. 

​

Misc:
-Propane tank
-lots of hot glue

Crazy Florida man straps rocket to alligator and lights it

[MystiqueDispenser]

Although a very brilliant scientist, this guy is still, in essence, a Florida Man.

I was genuinely prepared for it to be a real gater in his pool

Can we appreciate how beautiful his backyard is, basically living in a rainforest. Love it

That alligator was scary, I’m so glad no one got hurt

[gameboy-gfpc]

I been noticing how he smiles in EVERY single video. He doesn't even need to say it. He loves doing these videos. And I honestly wish I had the same passion as him

Even though 95% of your viewers will never replicate any of your experiments, we enjoy your content and the sharing of knowledge. Thank you for the entertainment. 😊

For the next video you should find a way to make the gator actually fly

[charleshetrick]

One detail to keep in mind to make this look amazing is to install adjustment-able worm screws (threaded rod) in order to get the water stream dead perfect straighten and down. When it’s perfectly mushroomed and flaming it looks best.

Science... but in a backyard...


It’s Beautiful

Im from Florida to and have never ever seen a rocket gator that big, so glad he wasn't able to get his rocket near you or your dogs

[jaredarellin]

I can only imagine how many chemicals are in that man's pool.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been wanting to know how this is done for so long. I was pretty sure that this is how it was done but I wasn’t sure how to make the water jet and propane nozzle together. You have done me a huge favor. I seriously can’t thank you enough.
