Quercus Metallicus Tree

|
Quercus Metallicus, is a totally original, interactive, fire and water installation that will add fun and an unusual twist to any event.
Formed from twisted steel and copper pipes it takes the form of a fantasy oak tree standing 3.5metres tall and 6 metres wide between the branches. With oversized roots and warped limbs, it looks ready to walk off at any moment.
The eight giant limbs end in a variety of items: shower heads, kettles, bugles and trumpets, taps and leaves.
Water and Sound Effects:
Perfect for adults and children alike, the audience can experiment pulling different levers at floor level which may result in a shower of water on their heads or, more amusingly on someone else!
Whilst past shows have revealed children happy to douse themselves for hours underneath, adults prefer to lie in wait and ambush their friends!
There are also various pumps to stamp on, pull and turn. These result in some of the wind instruments being played.
Perfect for sunny days, the tree can also be supplied with a multitude of umbrellas on stands, which can then be used by the participants should they not wish to get wet..
The water is in the form of a fine spray and so therefore minimizes the risk of waterlogging, as much of it is dispersed by the breeze before soaking into the ground.
A perfect addition to summer events where a fun and interactive installation provides a real talking piece. In a world where most water features e.g pools, provide an unacceptable safety risk at events, it has proved to be a welcome addition, where participants have cooled down beneath the branches e.g outside dance tents, at childrens festivals.
Fire Effects
Alternatively or in addition, the trunk of the tree contains four giant pipes through which propane gas can be channelled for a fiery evening spectacle.
Pilot lights of approximately 1ft in height flicker like candles from the pipes and from various brass instruments on the branches.
Electric valves are then operated by the controller to surprise the public with fiery jets, shot upwards into the sky. Ranging in height from 3ft to nearly 10 ft these momentarily illuminate the twisted steel and orange copper of the tree and as they do so the flames emit a variety of unusual shrieks, hisses and booms.
Perfect for the entrance to indoor venues, festivals, parties and corporate events, wow and surprise your guests with a highly unusual artwork.
