CD you have out done yourself!
What do you think a more viscous fluid would look like oozing out of the volcano?

You're thinking of evaporative cooling. The Volcano reservoir looks to be used in a closed loop, so that's not really applicable.
o lol
Well that's nice stuff to come back to guys. While the Quiches bake I thought I'd pimp this out a bit more:
I completed the wiring, cut a piece of mirror, made some braces to attach feet and put in a switch.
Ready to roll.
And that's it...really. I packed it just so I would not start messing around with it any more...
About viscous fluid: I agree that would be more realistic.
Not that there is anyone clammoring for 1/1000th scale volcanos or anything...but I would like to make another that is a stand-alone piece with it's own lil pump and that would allow for a gooey fluid...there are a variety of transparent thickening agents...
But observing some of the effects possible with ujnderlighting reminded me of a theatrical lighting device popular in the in the 1920s..an Illumnia.
It was a simple device: usally a large glass bowl of a great radius so as to be more of a lense filled with water. An attendant would "play" the Illumnia with a wooden paddle something like a salad fork to set up a series of standing waves in the bowl...a lamp (usually an arc light but it could be any light source) below the bowl would use the bowl of rippling water as a sort of Fresnel lense that usally had a lot of dimensionality and rainbows. I experimented with one of these and you can basically fill a room with a sort of wallpaper of light that appears to go in and out of focus...great stuff. WHatever they were on back in the Twenties was some good.
Anyway a lot of times these lighting apparatus included a large mirror on an adjustable frame so as to project this pattern of light on a rear projection screen or whatever...to some dramatic effect.
I have also seen one with a mechanized color wheel of various gels...
SO something using those principle in a reservoir would be interesting to me...an Illumnia reservoir that projects light patterns on a frosted/etched front for instance...verrry Star Trek...

Beautiful work right there!

I hear cola was especially refreshing back in the 20's. What kind of size were you thinking if you were to make one of those crazy-sounding flapper era reservoirs? Or would there be a lot of flexibility?

Well I think an interesting location would be the top of a case that does not have radiators on it
Something similar in construction to the clear container above...with a mirror on the bottom, lights, with water above going over irregularities from one end to the other to create some surface waves. The irregularites could be as simple as little strips about a 1/2" by 1/2" randomly placed. This will not have the true standing wave effect that can be acheived by using still water in container and oscillating it in some fashion. BUt it should create an interesting light show on the ceiling.
Another idea is to use a piece of mirror diagonally in a bay reservoir to reflect the pond surface out the front...then frost the front panel. Still conjuring...

First loops are like first sex, all hands and thumbs till you figure out what goes where, then it's what ever works best for you.
Just checking but the resevoir and water is ABOVE the power lines and such right?
If you have a cooling question or concern feel free to contact me.
As far as I can see, Yes.
AWESOME JOB CYBER!!!!
You are truly an amazing modder.

That is by far one of the coolest things I've seen the pics don't do the vid justice and I'm sure the vid doesn't do the real thing justice.
