SPINNING ORB FOUNTAIN
The Orb Turns, and the Water Is What Turns It
The orb is not motorized. It sits in a cup and the falling water pushes it round, so it turns at whatever speed the flow is set to and stops when you switch the pump off. That is a small mechanical idea and it is the reason people keep looking at this one, because a rotating object holds attention in a way a cascade does not.
The pump is adjustable, which on this piece means you are setting the rotation speed as well as the sound. Turn it down and the orb barely creeps. Open it up and it spins visibly.
Eight and a third inches high on a seven and nine tenths inch square, which is smaller than a side plate. The light cycles slowly through colors rather than sitting on one, so the rock and the orb change tone over a few minutes. It is rated for indoor use.
What You Get With This Spinning Orb Fountain
-
01
Water drives the orb, not a motor.
It sits in a cup and the falling water turns it, so the rotation is real movement rather than a mechanism, and there is nothing extra to fail.
-
02
The flow control sets the spin speed.
Turn the pump down and the orb creeps, open it up and it spins visibly. You are adjusting two things with one dial.
-
03
Smaller than a side plate.
Seven and nine tenths inches square, so it fits a crowded desk, a narrow shelf or a bedside table where nothing else will.
-
04
Slow color cycle.
The light moves through colors over minutes rather than sitting on one, so the rock and the orb change tone gradually instead of flashing.
Close, on a desk, a shelf or a bedside table, because an eight inch piece is seen at arm reach and nowhere else. Level matters more here than on almost anything else in the range, since an orb sitting in a cup will not turn evenly on a tilt and that is the whole feature. Put a coaster or a mat under it on a surface that marks. It is rated for indoor use.
