I was wondering with the information you have so far, has there been any mention of "Wave propagation"? I know it is initially used in a full liquid application, but with the new science's that may be, "Air is a shallow liquid", is it not? Well, something for us to add to the list of possibilities, here is the site I found the information, seems as if the orientals have used this to actually restrain water long enough to write on water??

Researchers at Akishima Laboratories (Mitsui Zosen), working in conjunction with professor Shigeru Naito of Osaka University, have developed a device that uses waves to draw text and pictures on the surface of water.

The device consists of 50 water wave generators encircling a cylindrical tank 1.6 meters in diameter and 30 cm deep (about the size of a backyard kiddy pool). The wave generators move up and down in controlled motions to simultaneously produce a number of cylindrical waves that act as pixels. The pixels, which measure 10 cm in diameter and 4 cm in height, are combined to form lines and shapes. The device is capable of spelling out the entire roman alphabet, as well as some simple Kanji characters. Each letter or picture remains on the water surface only for a moment, but they can be produced in succession on the surface every 3 seconds.

The theory is based on a tremendous amount of information of displacement with both cylindrical and sphere application's. Here's the web site for the full over view of it in the working state. I just hope this could have some implication's of being applicable to the feasibility of O2, CO2 and  Hydrogen as the basic compound's of the element's for O2 could be articulated for the difference's of densities?

This is the invention of the afor- mentioned find and principle's of possibly altering the known "Bessel Function's" to a practical state of "Gasiuos" application's?

"Click" on the "Bessel Function's" and it will walk you through it with all the notation and pytagorian theories and notation's, it is way too much to cut and paste, but it is an interesting insight to a different type of proven science.

If it sustains an image on H2O, the over all belief is that  it would acceptable to a lighter form of application's?

Correct me if I am wrong, but it was a sudden Brain storm when I saw that it really did what they said it would...

Device uses waves to “print” on water surface

AMOEBA draws letters on water surface Researchers at Akishima Laboratories (Mitsui Zosen), working in conjunction with professor Shigeru Naito of Osaka University, have developed a device that uses waves to draw text and pictures on the surface of water.

The device, called AMOEBA (Advanced Multiple Organized Experimental Basin), consists of 50 water wave generators encircling a cylindrical tank 1.6 meters in diameter and 30 cm deep (about the size of a backyard kiddy pool). The wave generators move up and down in controlled motions to simultaneously produce a number of cylindrical waves that act as pixels. The pixels, which measure 10 cm in diameter and 4 cm in height, are combined to form lines and shapes. AMOEBA is capable of spelling out the entire roman alphabet, as well as some simple kanji characters. Each letter or picture remains on the water surface only for a moment, but they can be produced in succession on the surface every 3 seconds.

Researchers at Akishima Laboratories have developed similar devices in the past that used waves to draw pictures on the surface of water, but those devices had trouble producing letters with straight lines (such as the letter K). Additionally, it took the previous devices up to 15 minutes of data input time to produce each letter.

The newly developed technology uses improved calculation methods for controlling the wave generators, relying on formulas known as Bessel functions. In addition to being able to draw letters consisting of straight lines, the input time has been drastically reduced to between 15 and 30 seconds for each letter.

Akishima Laboratories expects the technology to be incorporated into amusement devices that combine acoustics, lighting and fountain technology, which they hope to see installed at theme parks and hotels.
