  Not the same; the Pevnick Design Graphical Waterfall is much thicker due to the design of the 1979 patent years ago. With Steve Pevnick's Water printer, companies like Jeep are able to make any type of waterwalls as thick as 2 feet. The fact that Pevnick design has been making their water designs for the last 30 years only shows how long it took for someone else to attempt the same. Even so, the graphic waterfall is still bigger, thicker and better.

  The Waterfall was created by Professor Stephen Pevnick who is a Professor of Art at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. He built the Graphical Waterfall, then Called “Rainfall”, in 1979 using only a circuit board and a few valves.

  The Graphical Waterfall has been shown on four continents in cities such as Paris, London, Geneve, Basel, Frankfurt, Hannover, Johannesburg, Beijing, Bangkok, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angels and many others. In 1995 the “Rainfall” went to Berlin for a major exhibition for artists and designers.
  
  Professor Pevnick was very honored when the people at GPJ and Daimler Chrysler asked him to be at the shows for Jeep.

  This is the Graphical Waterfall built by Pevnick Design of Glendale, WI. I am the Chief Mechanical Engineer. We do have available a square grid for the 3-D effect. Go to www.pevnickdesign.com and watch the Emirites Video. I can tell you it is not the same as the Bitfall.

  I saw this setup about 2 years ago. This company is based out of Milwaukee WI and the photo studio I work at rented part of their space for a shoot. They fired it up for us, pretty amazing to see all the behind the scenes components.

  Actually, it goes back even farther than that. . . Steve Pevnick is the originator and probably the one that did this.

  too bad this was completely stolen by "George P. Johnson" events management co to make Jeep look good.
  
  The ORIGINAL artist/scientist and pioneer is Julius Popp and was exibited at Art Basel Switzerland in April 06'
  
  Here is where the real science is:

  That's nothing new, Jeep has been using that waterfall at the Detroit Auto Show for several years now. But it's always wonderful to look at.

  Wow! Inspired thinking! One of those things you just wish you had designed! Are they going to make a square grid and make 3D objects fall from the ceiling? Imagine that! a Jeep in 3D made of water!
