Thanks for your patience on the load for this excessively large picture. What you're seeing in the picture above is a clock. Unfortunately many of the details are obscured by the busy background, but I just didn't have the good sense at the time to try a diagonal angle. The large bulbs on the left are filled on the hour and the disks on the right are filled once a minute. This doesn't occur in a trickle fashion. The creator of this clock has worked it out such that the water pressure builds up to just the right level within the labyrinth of pipes and then drains into each disk and then all the water from the disks into the bulb all at one time. This thing is flowing right now, ticking the minutes away liter by liter. I want one of these. Oh, except that I want the pump on mine to be powered by a rotating team of leprechauns in green velour track suits running on a hamster wheel and the water will actually be their green sweat that is collected. Yeah, it'll take a lot of leprechauns, but what else are they doing?
