INSERTABLE WATER WHEELS FIT ALL THOUGHTS FLOW EXHIBITS
IMAGE: Insertable Waterwheels
This image shows two waterwheels that visitors can insert and then instantly move anywhere else in any of my Thoughts Flow water exhibits (except mini wheeled classroom model).
Two are shown here, as we recommend getting two of them to reduce visitor competition for them.
These can be purchased and added to your Thoughts Flow water art exhibit at any time.

7 LEVELS OF CASCADES & TALL TURBINES
DAM, 2 CASCADES , 2 LOW TURBINES, AQUEDUCT, 3 WATERWHEELS AND THOUGHTS FLOW MOVABLE PANEL ACTIVITY
DAM, 2 CASCADES , 2 LOW TURBINES, AQUEDUCT, 3 WATERWHEELS AND THOUGHTS FLOW MOVABLE PANEL ACTIVITY
INTERACTIVES AT LOW END OF LARGE THOUGHTS FLOW EXHIBIT
When visitors block off different cascades then our hidden overflows deliver that water down to the next lower cascade inside a concealed route, rewarding the blocking efforts of that visitor while providing full water flow to visitors downstream!
Tall turbines are powered by visitor manipulatives that can cause significant (but safe) spinning of them, individually or together.
Each side of exhibit presents the full set of 7 levels of cascades and a tall turbine control to visitors on that side of the exhibit. This greatly reduces competition for very popular manipulatives.
Note: This interactive package must be fabricated onto your center module in our studio (not field installable).

INTERACTIVES AT HIGH END OF LARGE THOUGHTS FLOW EXHIBIT
Water enters exhibit through the wave patterned source grate located at the high end. When visitors create a complete dam with movable panels immediately beyond this grate, our overflows that are hidden behind the grate deliver all of the excess arriving water down to the Thoughts Flow movable panel activity. This prevents water from ever overflowing when visitors build complete dam blockage or try source grate blockage. Our design rewards visitors trying to block off all water entry with an illusion of success, while providing full water flow to the Thoughts FLow activity.
If visitors do not have any movable panels damming off water at the source grate level, then water flows freely into the Aqueduct, the 2 low turbines and the 2 different cascades. Or each can be dammed off.
Visitors can build the side walls of the Aqueduct to deliver water to the large undershot water wheel. Additional panels can also then direct this water to later descend into one or both of the overshot water wheels.

THIS MEDIUM CENTER MODULE IS A FREE STANDING EXHIBIT THAT YOU CAN ADD EXTENSION MODULES ONTO AT ANY TIME.
This straight sided 10 ft. long by 54 in. wide free-standing exhibit has the exact same very intriguing low end interactives (described above), and the exact same width of Thoughts Flow activity as the Large Center Module described above, with 4 feet less length of Thoughts Flow activity.
Note that this width of Thoughts Flow provides visitors with the very rewarding ability to fully turn and redirect some of the always arriving water flow completely upstream, while also being able to successfully divert the rest of the always arriving water completely to the side (past) their creation of upstream flow. This is very popular for visitors to invent all on their own, and they are very proud of their accomplishment.

PICTURES OF VISITORS ACCESSIBILITY ON MY THOUGHTS FLOW EXHIBITS
IMAGE SHOWING ACCESSIBILITY TO ALL OF MY WATER ART EXHIBITS
Here we see how fully accessible my Thoughts Flow water art exhibits are.
I am very proud of how accessible these exhibits are. I have worked hard to deliver rewarding experiences on them to the most inclusive audiences possible.
IMAGE OF VERY YOUNG VISITOR ON T-F
Here we see a very young visitor fully engaged in manipulating the movable panels in one of my 10 ft. long Thoughts Flow water art exhibits.
He is totally focused on the activity, and is peacefully sharing the exhibit with decidedly older visitors.
IMAGE OF MANY YOUNG VISITORS ON T-F
Here we see many young visitors peacefully sharing space as they manipulate the movable panels on one of my 10 ft. long Thoughts Flow water art exhibits.
Note how dry they all are, typical of my exhibits, even when spending over an hour intensely involved in manipulating my water exhibit interactives. Wet hands and arms, but not a lot else in most cases.
IMAGE OF MORE YOUNG VISITOR ON T-F
Here we see a typical level of eagerness as young visitors excitedly explore all that they can do to manipulate the flowing water.
Note, despite the intense activity of the older kids, the very young one is not distressed by his very close proximity to them, rather he is 100% focused on what they are achieving within the wet activity area of my exhibit.
