Heron’s Fountain

This is my version of Heron’s Fountain. I got the schematic from Make. It is easy to build and cost me nothing. I used things sitting around my house. The incredible part of this device is that the water rises up and pumps much higher than it starts out. This is NOT perpetual motion but it IS a very interesting invention. Thanks to TK over at OU dot com for his inspiration and advice.
