Brilliant Design

This week's brilliant design goes to  . . . .



The traveling sprinkler.  I've admired these for years and finally bought one last spring.  This lawn sprinkler is water powered and uses the water hose for guidance.  It is a very user-friendly device and has an auto shut off feature implemented as a plunger that is engaged by a ramp placed where you want the traveling sprinkler to shut down.

The mechanism is described in this HowStuffWorks.com article:
