Chaotic fountain
«Chaotic (or Turbulent) Fountain»
Direction of rotation: impossible to predict.
The twelve containers of this fountain wheel are all the same size. They are steadily filled from above and emptied just as steadily. The wheel should either stay still or consistently turn in the same direction.
One drop more, one drop less – for whatever reason – influences the entire system. When will this wheel change its direction? It is simply unpredictable, even with the computational power of a supercomputer.
