THE FLOATING GRANITE BALL

The wonders of science start even before one enters the pavilion. A ball of solid granite weighing 4.5 tons greets the visitor. Do you think you can move the ball of 4 feet diameter that almost weights as much as an elephant? The answer might be no but the water jets actually play with it and keep it alone so that even a small child can move it! The striking visual of a heavy granite ball floating creates a memorable experience that sparks curiosity about the laws of physics. A thin water layer is created between the ball and its base by a 3Hp submersible pump that pushes the water in angular nozzle giving ration to the ball.
