One Line Pitch
A horizontal matrix of 16 water nozzles in a grid on bike carriage to draw with water on the sidewalk
Description
Bicycle pulling a carriage. On the carriage there is a horizontal row of 16 water nozzles. When the bike is moving the speed is detected by a microcontroller. The microcontroller tiggers the 16 water nozzles on and off to release water at specific times. The nozzles paint the sidewalk with dots of water to spell a message.
Afterwards the water evaporates and no harm is done.
A Persistence of Vision (POV) dot matrix printer for the sidewalk using water.
