Illegal...

This is illegal where I live! You are not allowed to wash cars, windows, or water gardens (actually, maybe just with buckets) either - ever since our dams dropped lower than 20% capacity.

They've since doubled in total capacity, but we still have restrictions until we have another 20% - which could be a long time given the state of things.

Bummer, dude

Bummer for you, Steve. The rest of you, build on!

I'm thinking of building one and charging kids a nickel to drive thru it.

bummer to be anon

really stupid comment anon. there's a worldwide water shortage and wasting water with this kind of contraption is unbelievable. it usually takes some time for some people to realize that everybody has to participate - it's not only "other people's problem". if you don't believe me, we'll talk again in 10 years. in the meantime, conserve water!
i thought makers and dyi'ers would be a bit more sensitive to these issues.

Oh, puhleeze

Spare me. How many electricity-wasting, waste-heat-generating projects are posted here every day? Who really needs a multiple-color-cycling LED, anyway?

You want green projects, there's probably a more appropriate place for you online. Drop us a line here when you find it.
