Framed Print of Hero's Fountain, Hydraulics
Heron's fountain is a hydraulic machine invented by Hero of Alexandria. Heron studied the pressure of air and steam, described the first steam engine, and built toys that would spurt water, one of them known as Heron's fountain. Various versions of Heron's Fountain are used today in physics classes as a demonstration of principles of hydraulics and pneumatics. Hero of Alexandria (10-70 AD) was an ancient Greek mathematician and engineer from Alexandria, Roman Egypt.
