Student’s Faucet Design Saves Water By Swirling It Into Beautiful Patterns

Award winning designer, Simin Qiu, has developed a faucet that produces a spiralling stream of water and conserves 15% more water than yesterday's faucet.



Two turbines inside the faucet head spin as the water flows through them, producing a latticed spiralling effect.





The water comes out gentler and faster, as it responds in .3 seconds as opposed to .7 seconds of a traditional faucet.

Where beauty and zen meets environmentally friendly



The faucet is powered by a push-button on top, and has three pattern settings. Which would you choose?

Nice patterns but if the water pressure is gentle, it's useless.

all it needs is a color changing led light in it and i would be lost for hours : )

Hey? If it's faster, is that using more water? Where's the conservation here?

u r so sexy

i think it's faster because of the pressure gradient. not the volume of water.




so for all the design quality and water conservation, the question is....

how much is it to purchase, maintain and repair?

Some things are simply cool! A faucet that makes you smile has a value all it's own.

I dig the spiral!

Thank you, sailor. Come up and see me sometime.

Excuse me. I got distracted again.

Nice faucet then.

Awesome faucet. Can it teleport or abduct humans?

The outlet pattern designs remind me of frosting piping tip designs.

Beam me up dats.

I love it.. I know it is supposed to conserve water and yet I would be turing it on just to watch it so I am not sure if I would be saving anything..But dang that is beautiful.
I also agree some pretty lights in it..

yeah that is the same thing i was talking about last night lol
so for a while i would be wasting water cause i would be staring at it , as well as i would have to invite people over to look at it : )

but i guess like everything else you would get used to it after a while

easiest way i can explain
lets see
k got it

if you fill a bucket up with water
and you tip it over and dump it out
you can take that same bucket
poke holes in the bucket and add pressure
you can still get the same amount of water out , but with it spread over more places then just that drop in the middle , you are conserving water
as well as
when the water is in smaller droplets it seams to be able to spread it over your hands / body easier then when its all in one lump sum

that is a really hard one to explain cause most people see on the level of what there eyes see , not the way it is
meaning are eyes can not see that small

thinking of it another way
and better way now that i have had a sec to think about it

a squirt bottle
if you set it to spray in a stream and pull back the handle and hit a leaf of a plant , you will notice some water on the leaf
now if you take that same bottle but put it on mist and pull the handle and hit another leaf that is the same you will notice a lot more water on it

but yet its the same amount of water
make sense ?

will have to wait and see : (
i hope they put a led light in it as well : )
i am not one to say i want something very often
but i want it : )

Me, too :-)
Do you know if they can change designs?

And here I thought the tap was a water conserving device, just by how much you turned it on

pretty cool

no idea : (
i think they are still working on it
i am sure they will come out with many different types of designs
