Design concept shown in a fixed pose. The 3D view explores the form; effects and mechanisms are illustrative.
FROM ACTION TO DISCOVERY
How the interaction works
Release the ducks
Let the floating ducks travel along the three water chutes.
Collect and repeat
Retrieve them from the shared pool and prepare another run.
A CLOSER LOOK
Perspective render
Explore the arrangement of three parallel stainless-steel chutes, numbered launch pads, yellow ducks and a shared finish pool.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
What visitors can discover
This concept brings floating motion, comparison and cooperative play into a shared water-table setting. Visitors can explore the idea at their own pace and compare what they notice with a partner.
Following a current
A floating object makes the movement of water easier to see.
Fair comparisons
Discuss why release timing matters when comparing runs.
Shared play
Visitors can coordinate a countdown and take turns retrieving the ducks.
PART OF A BIGGER WATER TABLE
Planning Duck Race
Provide access to both launch points and the finish pool. Balance lane flows during development and keep duck retrieval within comfortable reach.
The arrangement can be developed for a museum, science centre or play space as part of a custom water table. Final dimensions, materials and operating performance are established during design and engineering.
