We have sketched how they really work; while your eyes are seeing a border of water that blends with the large amounts of water in the background or with the sky. The water at the far border of the pool, actually flows into a reservoir in the back which is pumped back into the pool. Visual representation above created with Google Sketchup.

Japanese Museum Unveils A Giant Globe Made of 10,000 Live-Updating OLED... Geo-Cosmos If you want to see what Earth looks like from space, become an astronaut (or, barring that, a space tourist). For the next best view, pay a visit to Tokyo’s National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation where a massive, nearly 20-foot spherical OLED orb--the world’s first large scale spherical OLED --offers a satellite’s-eye view of the planet in super high resolution. “Geo-Cosmos” is made up of 10,362 OLED panels that display continuously-updating satellite footage of our tiny blue marble, representing what our planet looks like from space in something close to realtime. And like any good museum exhibit, Geo-Cosmos is interactive. [ Tokyo Tek ]
