    Ishikawajima-Harama Heavy Industries (Ltd.) has recently
shown a new large-screen display technology called Water-Vision.
From the photo in Business Tokyo for November, it appears to display
a color picture on a curtain of falling water.  It's not clear how
this is done, but it seems to take a 3" water line to drive the
small-screen (20' by 20') version.  The water apparently just pours
out on the ground.  Picture quality is poor by TV standards.
A large-screen version (137' x 65') is available.  

    But how does it work?
