Student’s Faucet Design Saves Water By Swirling It Into Beautiful Patterns
Simin Qiu, a design student in London’s Royal College of Art, has come up with a luxurious-looking Swirl Faucet that will save water by turning it into a beautiful, elegant, swirling spiral.
Qiu’s design works by sending the water through a double turbine, which spirals as water moves through it, creating an elaborate and beautiful lattice of water streams. The turbine also limits the flow of water by 15%, meaning that you waste less when using it! 3 different nozzles let users choose which water-saving design they’d rather use.
The design, which also won an iF Design concept award in 2014, is operated with a touch button on top, which helps it retain its sleek and elegant look.

How can there not be one comment about how this is impossible? this DEFIES PHYSICS
it isn't spinning the water- instead its 'stacking' the water to create the look. the water is only falling, while the nozzle spins.

I doubt if it is going to save water because it is so beautifull to look at that you leave the tap running longer to look at it
California water has so much dirt and sand in thewater. Would need to be filtered. One grain of sand would cause the screens to malfunction
