Kinetic water feature

Do you think there is anyone out there that would be interested in something like this? So far it's one of a kind but I'm thinking about trying to produce a few more. Here's a link to the Youtube video... any feedback would be appreciated.

Its a very interesting concept. People like to experience something unique,different. Just depends on the cost. It would still give the sounds of water but also make for a nice conversation piece in the landscape.

Hopefully I can find some underwater lighting powerful enough to light through the tumbled glass in the base. I think that would be a nice effect at night. I still need to price out powder coating/chrome plating but I'm thinking around $2k. Does that seem reasonable for a fountian that size?

Whoa, trippy!

I like the design - is it going out in a landscape? My only critique is that the base seems a little small, proportionally. Might not be a problem if integrated into a landscape.

2K seems very reasonable for a one-off fountain that size. If it was mass produced in China I would expect it to be a lot less, but then it would be crap.

It seems very niche. Fungus mentioned mass production, and I don't think you will be able to do that with such a unique item. I could do a pretty cool little bubbling boulder for $2K, so you may not be able to compete. Just $.02 worth of mho.
