I just had a biiiiiilliiiiiooon dollar idea for you fountian. A solid state ball bearing conveyor!!! Based on a rail gun, we may be able to roll balls up hill using electromagneticism!! That way the noise could be perpetual. Thoughts?

Well, if you want to go ahead with this, the idea is yours to incorporate. You have bearings, you have batteries, now all we need is a long, rigid anode and cathode pair (copper tubes?) on which the bearings will roll. Hopefully it provides more force than gravity and friction on a ballbearing rolling up a 30 degree, metal slope.
