3D MODEL
Load the 3D model to rotate and zoom. Approx. 2.2 MB.
Design concept shown in a fixed pose. The 3D view explores the form; effects and mechanisms are illustrative.
FROM ACTION TO DISCOVERY
How the interaction works
Aim off-centre
Direct the stream toward an area away from the shaft.
Follow the response
Watch the paddle turn and adjust your aim to keep interacting with it.
A CLOSER LOOK
Perspective render
Explore the arrangement of three visitor nozzles, six rotating paddle targets and a rear splash-return screen.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
What visitors can discover
This concept brings aiming, turning forces and coordination into a shared water-table setting. Visitors can explore the idea at their own pace and compare what they notice with a partner.
Torque
The point of impact matters when trying to rotate a target.
Hand-eye coordination
Visitors adjust nozzle direction in response to what they see.
Feedback
A turning target provides a clear sign of a successful hit.
PART OF A BIGGER WATER TABLE
Planning Water Targets
Keep nozzle grips accessible and the target area within the splash enclosure. Develop jet pressure, target resistance and screen drainage through testing.
The arrangement can be developed for a museum, science centre or play space as part of a custom water table. Final dimensions, materials and operating performance are established during design and engineering.
