Description

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

[0001] The invention, as stated in the description in this present memorandum, relates to a floating fountain for musical performances, providing advantages and features which are described in detail below.

[0002] The object of the present invention relates to a floating fountain for musical shows, designed to perform nighttime shows and intended to replace traditional pyrotechnic effects. Consisting of a floating platform, it uses advanced technology to generate a light and visual effects show, offering a safe and sustainable alternative to traditional fireworks. SCOPE OF THE INVENTION

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

[0004] The present invention addresses growing concerns regarding safety, environmental sustainability, and innovation in the field of nighttime entertainment. For decades, fireworks have been a prominent feature of celebrations and special events worldwide. However, despite their visual and emotional appeal, traditional fireworks present numerous challenges.

[0005] First, conventional pyrotechnic effects present significant risks to public safety, particularly incidents involving burns, injuries, and accidents related to their handling and launching. Furthermore, 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, a safe and sustainable alternative to fireworks is constantly being sought. Technological advances have made it possible to develop visual effects and light shows that can recreate the magic of fireworks without the inherent risks and associated negative effects. These advances have stimulated research and innovation in the creation of exciting alternative nighttime displays.

[0007] In this context, the present invention addresses the need to offer an innovative and attractive alternative to fireworks, by taking advantage of a technology This advanced approach aims to create a spectacular light show and stunning visual effects, while promoting public safety and contributing to environmental sustainability. Furthermore, it seeks to harness the economic potential of tourism and job creation in the peninsula by attracting visitors with 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 identical or similar technical characteristics to those of the present invention is unknown. EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The floating fountain for musical performances 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 forth in the final claims attached to this description.

[0010] In concrete terms, 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 specifically, the floating fountain that is the subject of the invention is essentially centered on an innovative floating platform located approximately 10 meters from the shore and of considerable size, measuring 180 meters in length and 10 meters in width. This platform is the base on which the nighttime show is implemented.

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

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

[0014] The key strength of the invention is its 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 display. The fountain's nozzles and jets are controlled and synchronized with the music via a DMX (Digital Multiplex, 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, 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, offer a spectacular and exciting nighttime show that surpasses the limitations of traditional fireworks. Furthermore, by using water instead of pyrotechnic materials, this show becomes environmentally friendly and safe for both the public and operators. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
