Solar Survival Show: Solar Fountain
Take a look at Ambrose Spencer's SunToys and you will see why I say that if you are going to do only one public solar demo, you should do a solar fountain.

A floating solar fountain can be bought for $60 or less. It will be less impressive than Ambrose's larger model but add a basin and some water and you still have a great display that kids love to turn on and off with their shadows.
It already is a solar wishing well.
Floating and other solar fountains available from

and
eBay
Buy one and set it up at the local farmers market or public square. Raise a little consciousness and make a few rainbows.

Looks good! Is there a huge variety of these fountains? I want a outdoor solar water fountain that actually sprays from a statue or something, but this one looks great too. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to have decorative outdoor solar water fountains in my back yard. I think it would really bring something unique to my hard. The water would also be very calming to listen to and relax to on a beautiful afternoon. http://www.jjrenterprises.net/default.asp?dept_id=30030
