Looks Like An Ordinary Swing Set, Right? Nope… Look Again. This Is Brilliant!

Looks Like An Ordinary Swing Set, Right? Nope… Look Again. This Is Brilliant! July 15, 2016

Here’s a cool swing perfect for hot summer days. The Waterfall Swing is an art installation designed by the team at [Dash 7 Design](http://www.dash7design.com/). This special swing was made so that water recirculates through controlled solenoid valves at the top of the swing which creates a wall of water. This water starts from a collection pool on the ground and is pumped through a pipe that feeds the solenoids. Rotational encoders mounted on the swings gather information about the speed and angle of the swing. The information is sent to a computer that predicts the action of the rider.

Wouldn’t this be awesome to have in your backyard? Here are the specifications to build your own [waterfall swing](http://static.squarespace.com/static/516b1123e4b0fdc6c24113c6/t/52ca0626e4b076c49f5feb31/1388971558482/Waterfall_Swing_Spec_Sheet.pdf).
