Water that is stored in a tank is subjected to ultrafine sonic waves, resulting in the formation of "scattered" and "dense" layers in the water. Without disturbing this state, the water is sent to the jet nozzle. The instant when the water is shot out by the force of the pump, the "scattered" layer breaks up and disperses while the "dense" portion solidifies. In the space of one second, a stream of 50 droplets is emitted. The stream of droplets retain their spherical shape after separating from the nozzle because of the surface tension, and fall in fixed regular intervals.

If special lighting is then strobed at a rate of 50 times per second on the streams of water spheres that are falling from the nozzle at pace of 50 droplets per second, the stream which is falling at incredible speed, appears to be frozen in mid-air! Then when the speed of the strobing light is increased from 50 flashes per second to 51, 52…the stream looks as if it is defying gravity and rising. While this is of course an optical illusion, each sphere in the stream seems defined so clearly that you can actually measure their diameter with a ruler, and you feel you could reach out grab it. Regarding the lighting produced by the strobe-type light, it is virtually indistinguishable from normal room lighting, preventing anyone from figuring out the trick behind this system.
