How a lawn sprinkler works

Video Description

In this 3D animation, we break down the lawn sprinkler (also known as an oscillating sprinkler), which is designed to efficiently water residential lawns and gardens. It provides even water coverage across a wide rectangular area by spraying a fan-shaped curtain of water back and forth. The oscillating gear mechanism inside is powered solely by the water flowing through the oscillator tube, requiring no external energy source. We explore the key external components and take a close look at how the internal mechanism of the oscillating sprinkler operates. Today's example features 8 gear stages, with each gear pair having a ratio of 2.6. This results in a total gear ratio of 2088:1, meaning the oscillator tube’s speed is 2088 times slower than the speed of the water wheel.
