This is a turbine driven sprinkler. It got it's start as a way to test 3D printed impulse turbines, but I think it's great on it's own. The turbine is inspired by bucket wheel turbine designs that pre-dated the Pelton turbine and captures far more power than needed from a 1.3mm jet. The turbine spins at over 3000rpm and makes a hi-tech whirring sound. The turbine drives a 64 to 1 worm gear transmission to spin the deflector on the 3mm main jet. The main jet will cover a 6-9 meter radius.
