The novel and peculiar form of laser water curtain has been increasingly applied to man-made landscapes and environmental engineering. Its appearance has not only attracted the attention and appreciation of people at all levels, but has also become a brand new creation for environmental designers and the media. , Tools and means for audiovisual landscape design with strong shocking power.

Water curtain technology appeared in the 1980s, when it was only owned by large cities in several countries such as France and Japan. The water curtain uses a high-power submersible pump to spray water in a fan of a specific shape at a very high water pressure to form a transparent three-dimensional water film with a certain spatial thickness. Therefore, when it is used as a projection surface, there will be a special optical effect. The visual penetrability of the screen can make the picture have a illusory three-dimensional feeling, making people feel in a strong, immersive The fantasy mood.

Water curtain laser show system is a set of multimedia performance system with excellent shape, sound and color by projecting the animation pattern formed by the laser beam emitted by the laser on the water film sprayed by the water curtain nozzle, with an audio system. The laser beam is controlled by a computer program compiled by the laser control system, which can emit a variety of colorful animated graphics at will according to the customer's requirements, and irradiate it on the crystal clear water film to form a dazzling and strange effect. When the audience is watching the movie, the fan-shaped water curtain merges with the natural night sky, and the content of the movie is like floating in the air.

When the colorful, magnificent and colorful laser animation graphics that it outlines are projected on the water curtain, due to the scattering of water drops , So that the entire water curtain presents a variety of text, graphics, and light beams, and the program is varied, magnificent and spectacular.

1.The principle of water curtain projection

The imaging factor of water curtain projection lies in the use of the particularity of "water" and projector equipment with special requirements for lumens, light sources, and light beams. When the water body enters the generator, it first undergoes a laminar flow treatment, and then reverses the vortex flow treatment to enter the water separator, and then the ejector performs a second aeration treatment on each water separator, and its water outlet is double Layer ring, the diameter of the water is 1 mm, the inner ring adds the water body to the air according to the jet flow principle, so that the waterline wraps the air and falls to form a combination of prerequisites for transparency and imaging, which is the key to the water curtain projection! It can also be said that water curtain projection uses the imaging principle of a mirage to present light and shadow images with the help of particles existing in the water.

2.Advantages of water screen projection

The simpler useful pool planes include rectangular vertical planes, irregular vertical planes, and 360-degree circular three-dimensional ones. Water curtain projection can be freely customized according to customer needs and site characteristics. A water curtain projection feast was staged at the Japan Kabuki Festival in Las Vegas in 2016.

Distinct. The water curtain can also be adapted to local conditions, such as local waterfalls, water curtains, etc.Dubai Festival City held a world's largest water screen projection show, about a young boy composing his magical journey through fictional things such as airplanes, whales, tree houses and dancing robots. 12 projectors of the same type are used to create a beautiful bay water curtain. 6 water curtains together form a seamless giant screen 68 meters wide and 13 meters high, with a total area of 892 square meters.
