The Time Fountain

Time stopper

Take UV LEDS, a PIC chip, a battery powered fountain, add some water and mix in a little fluorescein reagent and you get a cool machine that will stop time. Ok, it won’t stop time but it will let you freeze the motion of the water drops. View the video and read the build out. Cool.
