About This Product
Set on a level, water-resistant surface and filled to the recommended level, the model is set running so students can watch the continuous flow and the apparently unsupported tap. Teachers then explain how hidden circulation produces the effect, opening discussion of fluid movement, pump operation, simple engineering systems and visual perception. It also makes a striking supervised display at science fairs. Besides buyers across India, the Magic Water Tap Model can be exported to institutions in Iceland, Mali, Serbia, Mongolia and Togo.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How does the tap appear to float? The water is recirculated through a concealed flow path and returns to the reservoir below, so nothing visible seems to hold the tap up.
