It seems that it is now possible to write on water.
From the Sci Fi Tech blog:
Researchers at Akishima Laboratories have developed a way to spell out words and draw pictures on the surface of a pool by using 50 wave generators. The generators create “pixels” in the water and combine them to create the letters. Earlier versions of the pool had trouble creating straight lines and took up to 15 minutes to input each letter. This latest version, however, handles Ks and Ls with ease and takes between 15 and 30 seconds to input each letter.
That’s pretty damn cool. Having said that, this image is still making me feel a bit.. off. It just looks like something that shouldn’t be possible.

That’s interesting. The question is what pragmatic uses could this invention have?

Posted 26 Jul 2006 at 6:15 pm ¶Dunno’ how much it costs to make something like that.
And in regards to ‘what pragmatic use could this invention have?’… mmm.. not much?

Agreed, Zeitlos. It just doesn’t seem ‘right’.
