Water On Fire

摘要

It is impossible to imagine our existence without water and fire. We rely on them to such a degree that in many cultures they are considered sacred elements. They are also like the opposites that attract, because one quenches or evaporates the other. Perhaps that's why it is so striking when human ingenuity devises ways for the two of them to cooperate in artful display. Engineers and artists have teamed to create combinations of fire and water that have dazzled people at tourist attractions, festivals, and the Olympic Games. Integrating flames into water fountains is an intriguing task, which designers of fountains have accomplished using both gaseous and liquid fuels.
