Exhibit Summary
Water Travel - Water Mist Mushroom is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Kids' Zone category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
Help children grasp the impact of changing the center of gravity of water. Watch the phenomenon of the bucket tipping due to the change in the center of gravity due to the increase in water flow. The "mushrooms" formed by the impact of the water flow on the water mist allow children to discover the relationship between the water flow and the center of gravity and guide them to think.
Operation
The displays consist of a water mist generator, a self-dumping bucket unit, and a water jet unit. The water mist generator has been working, and the water mushrooms filled with water mist have been appearing in the pool. The audience controls the pressure pump with a hand wheel to inject water into the top unbalanced bucket. The amount of water in the unbalanced bucket gradually increases. When the water reaches a certain amount, it will flip over momentarily if there is a slight disturbance, and then return to its original position. When the lowest bucket is flipped, the water will be poured onto the water mist mushroom, destroying the smooth mushroom shape, and the water mist will overflow from the "mushroom". Since the amount of water and angle of the unbalanced barrel are random each time it is flipped, the resulting phenomena are also different, and the audience can try it multiple times. Children have a special attachment to water, and their sensory development can be promoted via contact with water. Children are always active when playing in the water and can do many things with their hands. They can not only move their bodies but also develop their hands-on skills. At the same time, water is not fixed and children can play with it as they wish, allowing children to play as they wish. Water, as an elusive natural thing that is both tangible and intangible, is full of great temptation for children. In terms of experience and creativity, this exhibition takes into account the effective combination of nature and science, allowing children to use their brains via hands-on participation, generate unlimited creativity, and stimulate their desire to explore the mysterious nature.
