#1147: Pooltable

Today’s invention is a table in the form of a sheet of glass. This is intended to simulate the surface of a pond.

The table legs are made of simulated reeds (made of metal wires or tubes) which are bent at the glass surface to mimic faithfully the effect of refractive index change.

(Not shown is a pair of model ducks, attached to opposite sides of the glass sheet to give the impression of reflection in the surface water).
