ABSTRACT:
A fountain apparatus includes a vibration imparting device disposed midway in a water passage pipe and a plurality of nozzles connected to a distal end of the water passage pipe on the downstream side of the vibration imparting device. The water spouting from the nozzles appears as drops of water due to vibrations from the vibration imparting device. The vibration imparting device has a diaphragm at the bottom of a tank, and the diaphragm suspends and holds a vibrator. When the diaphragm is vibrated by the vibrator, the vibrations propagate through the flowing water, and produces drops of water when the water spouts from an opening in each nozzle. The aperture of each nozzle exceeds 3 mm in diameter, and the diameter of the drops of spouting water exceeds 6 mm.
