3 fountains “Joy of Victory”, which are located in Moscow, on Poklonnaya Hill, have 6 bowls, they go in a semicircle, capturing the Museum building in the south-eastern part. They are called segmental, due to the fact that they divide this semicircle into segments.

The jet nozzles, which stand in bowls in the form of transparent glasses, were previously installed on the “Four Seasons” fountain, which is located on Manezhnaya Square.

The trial launch of the fountains takes place in mid-April, and they are finally launched every year, according to tradition, on April 30, when the city mayor opens the fountain season.

Riga Fountain

In 2007, a fountain was installed in the center of the square near the Rizhsky railway station in Moscow, which has the appearance of a traditional European water intake structure, consisting of an octagonal bowl, decorated with bronze ornaments along the edges of the octagon and a column located on a pedestal in the center. The top of the column is crowned by a caravel made of bronze and forged copper, 2.1 meters high, rotating on an axis. The fountain is faced with white, red and brown granite. The details are made of bronze and artificial granite. At the bottom of the pedestal there are niches in which streams of water flow from decorative elements. The jets and water mirror are illuminated by hidden lamps located under the inner edge of the parapet of the fountain bowl. The height of the composition including the caravel is 12 meters.

Fountain "Table"

The various fountains of Ukrainian Boulevard make an indelible impression. Among them is the "Table" fountain - a bowl decorated around the circumference with original elements, from which many jets of different heights emerge vertically.

Fountain-rotunda "Natalia and Alexander"

The rotunda fountain "Natalia and Alexander" was installed in honor of the bicentenary of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin.

The fountain was installed near the Church of the Ascension of the Lord outside the Nikitsky Gate. It was here that Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin married Natalya Nikolaevna Goncharova.

The rotunda fountain was built according to the design of architects Mikhail Belov and Maxim Kharitonov. The sculptural composition was made by sculptor Mikhail Dronov.

According to the architects, the new monument should have been harmoniously combined with the architectural image of the famous church. A couple in love - Alexander and Natalya - is surrounded by columns, which are crowned by a dome covered with a special composition that imitates gold.

The monument attracts many loving couples and newlyweds who come here for wedding photo sessions.

Fountain "Friendship of the Peoples of the USSR"

The fountain “Friendship of the Peoples of the USSR” is one of the main attractions of Moscow. It was erected according to the design of engineer V.I. Klyavin and the famous architect K.T. Topuridze, the construction work was carried out by a team led by A.I. Bazhenova and I.M. Tchaikov. The building embodied the ideals of peace and friendship, which were the central policy line and main strategy of the USSR in the early 50s.

The fountain has a granite stepped base that resembles a flower and smoothly turns into a cup-shaped sheaf of sunflowers and ears of corn. Near it are installed figures of 16 girls, which symbolize the republics that were part of the USSR before 1956. They shimmer beautifully in the light of the sun, as they are covered with gold leaf.

The surface of the water mirror of the fountain occupies an area of ​​about 4 thousand square meters, and the volume of the bowl of the structure is 4000 cubic meters. In 2009, the “Friendship of the Peoples of the USSR” fountain was reconstructed - engineering communications were updated, excellent lighting was installed, which changes 16 times an hour, and supporting structures were strengthened.

Geyser Fountain

The Geyser Fountain is the main fountain of Manezhnaya Square and the most important fountain of the capital. Every year, on April 30 at 17:00, a small performance takes place here, at the end of which the Mayor of Moscow pronounces the words “Turn on the fountains!” and pours water from a special crystal horn into the “Geyser” bowl, and the first jets rise towards him.

The fountain's jets shoot sharply upward, fall and shoot out again, like a volcano geyser. The fountain is the main thing of the entire fountain complex, which runs from the Alexander Garden to Manezhnaya Square. It was installed in 1996. Since that time, only the jet design has changed; initially the jets flew up in the form of transparent glasses.

The fountain, on Manezhnaya Square in Moscow, “Geyser”, includes a composition consisting of four horses in the center of the fountain - “Four Seasons”, each of the horses symbolizes a certain season. The sculptor of the entire composition is Zurab Tsereteli.

Fountain "Pillars"

If you move from the side Kievsky railway station to Kutuzovsky Prospekt along Ukrainian Boulevard, then the first fountain that you will meet on the way is “Pillars”. The fountain is an irregularly shaped pool, from the water of which a series of powerful single jets shoot straight upward.

Fountain complex "Years of War"

The fountain complex, called “Years of War”, was opened in Moscow, on Poklonnaya Hill in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Victory in 1945. The complex consists of five fountains located along Kutuzovsky Prospekt and is part of the Victory Memorial, which includes a museum, an obelisk, a church and sculptural compositions.

An original solution is the red illumination of the fountain jets in the evening, which symbolizes the color of blood spilled on the battlefields. And the jets of the fountains installed opposite the Church of St. George the Victorious shoot out like a festive victory fireworks.

The entire fountain complex operates around the clock, maintenance of the facilities is carried out from a single place.

Fountain "Music of Glory" in Kuzminki

The light and music fountain complex "Music of Glory" was opened on May 7, 2005 on the 60th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

According to the architects' idea, the fountain was built as a monument similar to the memorial complex on Poklonnaya Gora. In one large octagonal bowl there is a whole complex of fountains, where the main components are the “Pyramid of Memory” and the “Victory Fanfare”.

In the center of the bowl there is an amphitheater made of pink granite - the “Victory Wreath”. The bottom of the bowl is divided into a black half and a white half.

On the black half there is a tetrahedral ten-meter “Pyramid of Memory” made of red granite. The four sides of the pyramid symbolize four years of war. The pyramid is washed by the water of the fountain, creating the feeling that the entire fountain is mourning for the fallen.

The "Victory Fanfare", located on the light half, consists of seven silver columns of different lengths, rushing into the sky and united by military flags. The height of the fanfare is about 21 meters. "Victory Fanfare" symbolizes the music of victory over the fascist troops. Under the columns there is a white granite stone.

The fountain operates in two main modes - everyday and festive, which is accompanied by dynamic color and light-music effects. Several scenarios have been developed for the holiday mode, including “Battle”, “Mourning”, “Victory Salute”, “War Waltzes”.

In the south-eastern district of the capital, the fountain is one of the central places for Muscovites to walk.

Fountain "Youth"

Located almost opposite the Ukraine Hotel. In the center of the fountain there is a gilded sculpture by A. Burganov. The design is an elegant bowl with an openwork gilded bottom and water jets that directly create the image of the vessel itself. A tall gilded pillar emerging from the center of the bowl is crowned with a sculpture of a running girl. In the evening, the fountain is illuminated by decorative lighting.

Fountain "Adam and Eve"

The Adam and Eve fountain was opened in honor of the 860th anniversary of Moscow near the Novokuznetskaya metro station.

The sculptural composition was designed by a group of architects led by Viktor Simonikhin. The sculptor is Marina Levinskaya.

The fountain is a large bowl made of granite. At its center are Adam and Eve, who are sitting on a snake. Eve is holding an apple in her hands. Next to them is an openwork tree on which birds and insects, covered with gold leaf, sit. Water cascades into the bowl and to the sides. In the evenings, the stream of water is decorated with multi-colored lighting.

There is a flower garden around the fountain.

Fountains on Poklonnaya Hill

The complex of fountains on Poklonnaya Hill is located in the west of Moscow. 5 fountains along Kutuzovsky Prospekt are called “Years of War”. It contains 15 fountain bowls, each of which has 15 vertical jets. Their total number symbolizes the 225 weeks that the Great Patriotic War lasted.

Fountain "World Clock"

The World Clock fountain is the main dome of the underground shopping arcades « Okhotny Ryad" This is a watch with a unique dial, on which the names of cities are indicated. The glass dome rotates slowly and makes a full revolution in a day. You can use the clock to find out the time in major cities world with an accuracy of five minutes, hence the name of the fountain.

To determine the time using the World Clock, you need to know some subtleties. The rotating dome is divided into 24 sectors, which are the time zones of the Earth. The lower ring with numbers remains motionless. At what number the time zone intersects with the fixed panel, there are so many hours in this city now. And minutes can be determined by the lamps: one burning lamp means 5 minutes.

Fountain "Cascades"

The various fountains of Ukrainian Boulevard make an indelible impression. Among them is the “Cascades” fountain, along the steps of which water smoothly flows into the pool located below. There is a balcony above the steps from where you can look at the flowing water.

Fountain Vitali

The Vitali Fountain is located on Theater Square. This is the oldest operating fountain in Moscow. It was opened in 1835 and was called Petrovsky - after the former name of Teatralnaya Square. According to the author - sculptor Ivan Vitali - 4 cupids are placed under the fountain bowl: Poetry, Tragedy, Comedy and Music. At that time, the fountain was not just a decoration. Due to the insufficient development of the capital's water supply, city residents collected water from it for their needs, and watered horses here.

Today the Vitali Fountain is an ancient monument and an interesting landmark of modern Moscow. The first winter LED lighting was installed on it. There are also many legends and rumors surrounding this object. According to one of them, it is believed that under the fountain there is an entrance to the secret Metro-2.

Fountain "Stone Flower"

Fountain " Stone Flower"is truly a miracle of architecture, its amazing forms were inspired by Bazhov's fairy tales. This beautiful fountain adorns Kolkhoz Square at VDNKh.

Anyone might be interested in the answer to the question - “ how does the fountain work?", because today you can quite often find fountains not only in squares and parks, but also in country houses or just at home on the table. Today fountains are classified into static, sculptural, musical and color-dynamic, but also into indoor ones: floor and tabletop. Despite their widespread use, as well as the variety of shapes and sizes, fountains have almost the same method of operation.

How does the fountain work?

Conditionally fountain can be characterized by a device in which water gushing from a source (in Latin means fons), then falling into a bowl of a certain shape, flows back into a container container and is then used again. In other words, a fountain is a mechanism for the water cycle. The reservoir or container can be a real pond or some kind of container, skillfully hidden, mainly in the base of the sculpture. If the fountain is installed “on land”, then a fountain bowl is mounted under the base of the sculptural composition. The height of the fountain, in this case, directly depends on the size of the reservoir and water pressure. The shape or pattern of the fountain is determined by the nozzle, which shapes the flow of water and determines the appearance of the fountain.

In a closed circulation system, the water moves and rises up using a pump. It should also be mentioned that the water in the fountain is regularly updated, since the initial supply of water, after a certain period of time (due to evaporation of water and other factors), will not be enough for the fountain to fully operate.

By water supply method fountains can be divided into: circulation and flow . In circulation fountains, water flows through a closed, closed system. Flow-through fountains are distinguished by the fact that the water in them is constantly renewed. The main container or reservoir for circulation fountains is located at the bottom. This container, which varies in shape and size depending on the fountain, is often a decorative ceramic bowl. Water rises from the bowl using a pump. Then, having risen to the top, the water flows back down into the tank. As a result, circulation fountains do not require water outflow or water supply connections.
In flowing fountains, in which the water is constantly renewed, there is a reservoir into which the water flows and is discharged into the drain.

For fountains, submersible and surface pumps are used. Submersible pumps are used for ordinary simple fountains, and in the case of installing several fountains, with a certain height difference, surface pumps are required.

Along with historical monuments, many of which are more than two hundred years old, in the center of the Upper Pond there is a modern creation that has become a bright decoration of the ancient park. All guests of the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve are eager to see the light and music fountain; this spectacle is especially impressive in the evening.

Now it seems surprising to us that during the reconstruction of the estate in 2005-2007, the urgent question was whether to install a fountain or not.

The fact is that the owner of the estate, Catherine II, was completely indifferent to fountains and its structure, according to historians, could become another remake. However, their fears turned out to be in vain. The light and music fountain has become an important landmark of Tsaritsino, leaving no one indifferent to the park’s visitors.

Thanks to the successful choice of equipment, spectators receive maximum aesthetic pleasure and at the same time can enjoy the charm of antiquity in Tsaritsyno Park.

The fountain design uses 82 pumps with power ranging from 7 to 45 kW. Four melodies were chosen as musical accompaniment: “Waltz of the Flowers” ​​and “March” by composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, as well as two melodies by Paul Mauriat.

• Fountain depth 1.2 - 1.5 meters
• Bowl radius - more than 27 meters (surface area - 2400 sq. m)
• Number of underwater lamps - 2583
• Number of fountain circles - 12
• The height of the jets is up to 15 meters (depending on the light and music solution).

The operation is controlled using a computer, and for each melody a certain height, direction and power of the jets are selected (there are 915 of them in total) and its own backlight.

Opening hours of the fountain in Tsaritsino in 2020

• From May to October daily - from 9:00 to 23:00
• The backlight is open from 21:00 to 23:00

The light and music fountain in Tsaritsyno is a marvelous sight. You will be taken to fabulous atmosphere, where the flow of water turns into hundreds of jets and splashes playing in the lights of light. Meeting the shimmer of sound, water fantasy gives birth to beauty and grandeur that touches the soul.

How does the fountain work?

Almost every person has encountered fountains in their life. But few can explain how this device works. Most will say something like: “The water shoots up under pressure.” And this is generally a correct explanation, but too short. Let's try to figure it out.

Components of a fountain

Any product has two required elements:

A bowl that hides under a layer of water structural elements, and also to some extent performs the function of distributing water jets in different directions;

A pump that sprays water.

In addition, modern models, be it fountains in the courtyard country house or in a city park, they also have other structural elements:

A recharge system that ensures the required water level in the device;

A drainage system that allows water to be completely or partially drained; this element is especially important when preparing the product for winter;

A system of nozzles that are responsible for creating a water pattern;

Backlight;

Filters;

Transformer system and other devices for controlling pumps and lighting.

Closed system of fountain operation

Theoretically, fountains come in both closed and open types. But in modern world Most often it is the closed ones that are found.

Their main feature is that the water in them moves in a circle, passing through a filter system, splashing, and then returning to the cycle again.

Now fountains in public gardens, products for private residences, and even home models are made like this, although they are most often connected to the water supply system. The main advantages of such models:

Easy to install, they require less complex connections and communications;

Saving water, which has a positive effect on both the environment in general and the owner’s expenses in particular;

Autonomy and independence;

Better price.

How the fountain works

Almost all fountains work on the same principle:

Water from the reservoir, which in most cases becomes a bowl, passes through filters, is cleaned and enters the pipe;

With the help of a pump, water is forced upward, passes through a system of pipes and sprinklers and exits out in the form of a pattern of jets conceived by the designer;

And finally she returns to the tank again.

For proper operation of the product, you need to choose the pump wisely; its power is directly related to the number and size of water jets.

Introduction

Fire, water, earth, air - all life revolves around the four natural elements. Man has long learned to use them to his advantage. Each of us perceives the murmur of water, just like the ticking of a clock, dancing flames or clouds floating across the sky, strictly individually. It depends on the person’s temperament, his mood and well-being. Sound guides, as a rule, allow you to relax and calm down, recharge with new strength and think.

One day I came across a book to read on physics. Leafing through it, I saw that you can make a fountain at home. I was interested in two questions: how the fountain works and whether I could make it myself at home with the help of adults. Current This topic is also because it is now popular to have decorative fountains at home.

Object of study: fountain

Subject of study: operating principle of various fountains

Target: identifying the features of the flow fountain and Heron’s fountain

Tasks:

1. study various sources of information on this topic;

2. study the operating principle of a flow fountain and Heron’s fountain;

3. conduct an experiment; analyze, draw conclusions.

Hypothesis: if we find out how the fountain works, we might be able to build a model to demonstrate it

Research methods: experiment, observation, analysis, generalization.

Chapter 1. general characteristics fountains

1.1. Fountains: history

The first fountains appeared in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, as evidenced by images on ancient tombstones. Initially they were used for watering cultivated crops and ornamental plants. The Egyptians built fountains in orchards near the house, where they were installed in the middle of a rectangular pond.

Similar fountains were used in Mesopotamia and Persia, which were famous for their beautiful gardens. Here in the East they gained even greater popularity.

Fountains were of great importance in China and Japan. Buddhist monks participated in the creation of the famous Japanese garden in Kyoto. Each element of this garden carries a special meaning and evokes a certain mood and state of mind in visitors.

The landscape and architectural basis for fountains and gardens in Europe were Persian gardens. In the Middle Ages, gardens appeared at monasteries and, like the Persian garden, were divided into four parts - for flowers, herbs, vegetables and fruit trees. In the middle of the garden there was a well or fountain - a place of solitude, reflection and prayer for the novices of the monastery. But basically, as in Ancient world, in the Middle Ages, fountains were used as sources of water supply - for irrigation and drinking.

Only with the beginning of the Renaissance did fountains in Europe become part of the architectural ensemble, its bright accent, and sometimes the main element.

In modern fountains, advanced technologies and new inventions play a significant role.

1.2. How do fountains work?

The fountain's design is based on the principle of communicating vessels. (Appendix, Figure 1) In communicating vessels of any shape and cross-section, the surfaces of a homogeneous liquid are set at the same level. The water is collected in a container located above the fountain basin. In this case, the water pressure at the outlet of the fountain will be equal to the difference in water heights. Accordingly than more difference these heights, the stronger the pressure and the higher the fountain jet hits. The diameter of the fountain outlet also affects the height of the fountain jet. The smaller it is, the higher the fountain shoots. (Appendix, Figure 1)

Fountain of Heron. (Appendix, Figure 2) The device consists of three vessels placed directly above each other and communicating with each other: the lower two are closed, and the upper one has the shape of an open bowl into which water is poured, as well as into the middle vessel through a hole in the bottom of the bowl , then closed. Through an open tube running from the bottom of the bowl almost to the bottom of the lowest vessel, water flows down from the bowl and, compressing the air there, thereby increasing its elasticity. The lower vessel is connected to the middle one through an open tube, starting at its upper bottom and going to the upper bottom of the middle vessel, so that the air located here above the surface of the water is also compressed. By exerting pressure on the water, the air forces it to rise from the middle vessel through a special tube, drawn almost from its bottom to the upper bowl, where a fountain gushes from the end of this tube, rising above the surface of the water. Fountain height, in ideal conditions, is equal to the difference in water surface levels in the middle and lower vessels. But friction of the liquid moving in the tubes and other reasons reduce the height of the fountain. The fountain water falling into the bowl flows from it through a tube into the lower compartment of the device, where the water level gradually rises, and therefore the height of the pressure column, measured from the said level to the water level in the bowl, gradually decreases; The water level in the middle vessel decreases as the fountain consumes water. For these two reasons, the height of the fountain gradually decreases and, finally, the movement of water stops.

The column of water in the upper vessel reaches its surface in the lower one, creating excess pressure in the lower vessel. Compressed air from the lower vessel transfers the resulting pressure to the middle vessel. (Appendix, Figure 2)

1.3. Types of fountains

Natural. Naturally formed fountains called geysers are known - as, for example, in Kamchatka.

Technogenic. An artificially created fountain is a gushing oil well. Batteries of multiple hot water fountains are used to cool water in thermal power plants. Decorative. In everyday life, a fountain is a specific hydraulic structure that usually performs a decorative function. Have a utilitarian function drinking fountains , allowing for increased hygienic safety when quenching the thirst of the mass consumer. Drinking fountains are used to ensure drinking conditions in educational institutions and production workshops. Musical. A musical fountain is a type of fountain that has an aesthetic design and, when combined with music, creates an artistic performance. The effect is achieved through the intersection of water waves and light effects created by spotlights or lasers.

1.4. Fountains in everyday life

A beautiful fountain is an excellent cure for stress, from the hustle and bustle of everyday life for city residents, an oasis of peace and joy, a place for relaxation and introspection.

Chapter 2. Experimental basis of the project

From the proposed operating principles of fountains, we built a flowing fountain operating on the law of communicating vessels, as well as Heron’s fountain.

2.1.Creation of the “City of Fountains” model (based on communicating vessels)

Equipment:(Appendix, Fig. 3; Photos 1-6)

A container for collecting water, 2 plastic bottles of the same size (water reservoirs), a dropper tube, an aquarium tube,

2 gel pen tips, 2 dropper tips, cardboard, glue, colored paper, fountain container, decoration.

2.Secure two plastic bottles (water tanks) to the supports.

3. Attach to them in the first case - 2 tubes from the dropper, in the second case - 2 tubes from the aquarium.

4. Lead the tubes through a container to collect water

5. Attach the tip from the dropper to the tubes in the first case, and in the second case - the tip from the helium pen.

6. Give an aesthetic appearance to the structure.

7. Conduct an experiment.

Research: Experience No. 1(appendix, photo 7, 8, 9, 10)

“Dependence of the height of the jet in a fountain on the relative position of communicating vessels”

Progress: By changing the height of the tank, with a constant diameter of the hole, we measured the height of the fountain jet.

Conclusion: the height of the fountain jet depends on the height of the vessel: the higher the vessel, the higher the fountain jet

Experience No. 2 ( application, photo 11)

“Dependence of the height of the jet in a fountain on the diameter of the hole”

Progress: Without changing the height of the reservoir, we took different tips: from a dropper and from a helium pen and measured the height of the jet.

Conclusion: The smaller the diameter of the outlet, the greater the height of the fountain jet.

Experiment No. 3 ( appendix, photo 12) “Dependence of the height of the jet in a fountain on the diameter of the tube of the communicating vessel”

Progress: Without changing the height of the tank, leaving the tips from the aquarium, we changed the tubes.

water tanks	vessel height	holes	jet height with an aquarium tip	holes	jet height with an aquarium tip

Conclusion: The larger the diameter of the tube, the higher the height of the fountain jet.

2.2. Creation of the “Heron’s Fountain” model

Equipment: ( Appendix, photo 13 - 19)

A container for collecting water, 2 plastic bottles of the same size (water reservoirs), a tube from a dropper, a tube for an aquarium, 2 tips from a helium pen, 2 tips from a dropper, cardboard, glue, colored paper, a container for a fountain, decorative design.

Process development

1. Preparation of the workplace, tools, materials.

2. Connect three identical-sized plastic jars together.

3. We create a tight seal of the containers and their connection points.

4. Before sealing, insert the tubes (Appendix, Scheme 1)

5. Conduct an experiment.

Study was that if we assembled the structure correctly, the fountain would work .

Principle of operation:

Bowl. Let's call it the starting point - the start from which the liquid begins its movement in the system of Heron's fountain. This is an ordinary open container made like a bowl or plate. From it, water flows through a thin tube into an empty container located at the very bottom of the fountain.

Bottom empty container. It serves two purposes. First, the water flowing from the bowl compresses the air contained in it and thereby creates the pressure necessary to push the water upward in a stream. And, secondly, water collects in it, which creates this pressure (that is, the water that flows down). Here it remains until the next recharge of the fountain.

The upper container - when charged, it contains water. It is this liquid that is pushed out in the form of a thin stream of water. It is pushed out thanks to compressed air - the pressure formed in the lower flask. This air enters the upper flask through a thin tube, displacing liquid from there, which, pouring out like a fountain, again enters the bowl, from where, again, it flows into the lower flask.

Conclusion: the diagram is correct - our Heron fountain works

Conclusion

I really enjoyed working on the fountain. It turned out quite beautiful. It was a very large and complex practical work, and of course, there were things that I didn’t succeed in, or that did work out. I learned a lot about fountains and their history. I conducted some experiments and drew conclusions.

Not all fountains use communicating vessels

in communicating vessels, a homogeneous liquid tends to be at the same level

the fountain flows not only due to the difference in heights of water in communicating vessels

There are not so many things that can work independently, without an external source of energy, and Heron’s fountain occupies a special place among them. Its main advantage is that it works thanks to the natural laws of nature, without spending external energy.
