Man-Made Rainbow Machine


The awesome guy of the week has built his very own rainbow machine.  Michael Jone McKean, a college professor and artist at Virginia Commonwealth University has done something unique and cool.  Everyone likes seeing rainbows, and the professors machine produces two-story rainbows whenever he wants.  He has been researching rainbows since 2002 and now has developed this machine which is made of commercial jet pumps and custom nozzels.  It shoots a wall of water into the air in order to produce the effect.  He is going to put the machine on the roof of the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha Nebraska this summer.  It will make rainbows for 15 minutes, two times a day.  It will also only use rainwater and solar power.  I think every building should have a rainbow machine.
