Goal: create simple fluids-based demonstration devices for classroom engagements and outreach activities. 

Significance:    display beauty and complexity of fluid motion

                           instant set up, self-contained and interactive, no clean up

                           material cost < US$50 (each)

                           accessible to all ages regardless of science backgrounds     

Sources of inspiration: works of Prof. Tony Maxworthy and artist Meisetsu Watanabe
