Description

Title of the invention: FLOATING FOUNTAIN FOR MUSICAL SHOWS SUBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The invention, as indicated in the disclosure of this specification, relates to a floating fountain for musical shows, providing advantages and characteristics which are described in detail below.

[0002] The subject of the present invention relates to a floating fountain for musical shows, designed to implement night shows and intended to replace traditional pyrotechnic effects, which, consisting of a floating platform, uses advanced technology to generate a show of light and visual effects, offering a safe and sustainable alternative to traditional fireworks. FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The field of application of the present invention falls within the sector of industry dedicated to entertainment and technology, in particular in the field of floating fountain shows. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present invention is in line with the growing concerns for safety, environmental sustainability and innovation in the field of nighttime entertainment. For decades, fireworks have been a prominent feature of celebrations and special events around the world. However, despite their visual and emotional appeal, traditional fireworks pose many challenges.

[0005] First, conventional pyrotechnic effects present significant risks to public safety, including incidents involving burns, injuries and accidents related to their handling and launch. In addition, the combustion of pyrotechnic materials contributes to air pollution and can have adverse effects on health and the environment.

[0006] In response to these concerns, there is an ongoing search for a safe and sustainable alternative to fireworks. Technological advances have led to the development of visual effects and light shows that can recreate the magic of fireworks without the inherent risks and associated negative effects. These advances have spurred research and innovation in the creation of alternative and exciting nighttime displays.

[0007] In this context, the present invention responds to the need to propose an innovative and attractive alternative to fireworks, by taking advantage of a technology advanced to create a stunning light show and visual effects, while promoting public safety and contributing to environmental sustainability. In addition, it aims to harness the economic potential of tourism and job creation on the peninsula by attracting visitors through this innovative nighttime entertainment experience.

[0008] On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, at least on the applicant's side, the existence of any other floating fountain for musical shows which has technical characteristics identical or similar to those of the present invention is unknown. EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The floating fountain for musical shows proposed by the invention is configured as an optimal solution to the aforementioned objectives, the characteristic details which make this possible and which distinguish it are set out in the final claims attached to this description.

[0010] Concretely, what the invention proposes, as indicated above, is a floating fountain for musical shows, designed to implement shows, preferably night shows, and intended to replace traditional pyrotechnic effects, which uses advanced technology to generate a show of light and visual effects.

[0011] For this purpose, and more particularly, the floating fountain object of the invention is centered, essentially, on an innovative floating platform located approximately 10 meters from the coast and of considerable size with a length of 180 meters and a width of 10 meters. This platform is the base on which the night show is implemented.

[0012] The platform itself is designed to be strong and stable where it is located close to the coast. It is built with high-quality materials and has a robust structure that guarantees stability and safety during the show.

[0013] At the center of this platform is a maze of stainless steel tubes. These tubes form an underwater network that serves as a conduction system for the water used during the show. Water pumps supply water through these stainless steel tubes, and this water flow is directed to nozzles and jets of the fountain, which are the main elements that create the visual spectacle.

[0014] The strong point of the invention is the emphasis on sustainability. Unlike traditional fireworks, which generate emissions and waste, this show is based on the use of water and advanced technology to achieve an impressive visual spectacle. The fountain nozzles and jets are controlled and synchronized with the music via a DMX (Digital Multiplex) control system, a communication control protocol primarily used to control stage and theatrical lighting), which allows for precise coordination of visual effects and music, creating an immersive experience for the audience.

[0015] The water jets from the chase nozzles, which are known to be a specialized component for creating dynamic visual effects through precise control of water movement and flow, these nozzles being designed to move the water jet in predefined or random patterns, can reach significant heights, ranging from 12 to 45 meters, while the central jet can reach a height of 90 meters. These visual effects, combined with synchronized lighting and music, provide a spectacular and exciting nighttime show that goes beyond the limits of traditional fireworks. Furthermore, by using water instead of pyrotechnic materials, this show becomes environmentally friendly and safe for both the audience and operators. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
