  • Publication number: 20150138754
    Abstract: A hydrostatic and spotlighting water flow generator comprising an outer cashing, a luminous module and a base depends on water flow introduced into a stepped jet stream trough and drives a vane wheel to spin and transfer kinetic energy to electricity and activate an illuminating part for radiation; moreover, water flow through the underneath structure of the hydrostatic and spotlighting water flow generator and fine meshes on the first filter mesh is compulsively decelerated to permeate into coarse meshes on the base and run out as a straight water column for soft tranquil effect. As such, a light source of the illuminating part projects light rays along a straight water column and induces a reflective light source at the water column's end for soft, tranquil and aesthetic spotlighting effect.
