The AquaScript technology was created by German artist Julius Popp. Here's how it works:
The basic AquaScript module is 2 meters long with a number of magnet-valves that can expel single water-drops on demand. A proprietary computer system and software synchronizes the valves so that the falling water-drops result in a freely definable bitmap-muster. Installation of AquaScript is very flexible. The array can be mounted on a rigging truss for temporary installation using half-couplers, or also be fitted with bolts for fixed installation...
An 8 meter AquaDisplay will use ~ 60 liters (~16 gallons) of water per minute. This depends on local water pressure and the density of the bitmaps used...

Illustrating Classic Heinlein With AI
'Stasis, cold sleep, hibernation, hypothermia, reduced metabolism, call it what you will - the logistics-medicine research teams had found a way to stack people like cordwood and use them when needed.'
Deflector Plasma Screen For Drones ala Star Wars
'If the enemy persists in attacking or even intensifies their power, the density of the plasma in space will suddenly increase, causing it to reflect most of the incoming energy like a mirror.'
