The Still Chimes: a water-powered kinetic sculpture that is designed to provide a sense of normality and entertainment in disaster scenarios. Chimes are played on an interval as the gradual condensation of water from a still drips into the mechanism.

This Still Chimes are designed to provide a sense of normality for people who are trying to survive in disaster scenarios. Water from a still will drip into a cup which, when full, dumps its content into a water wheel which powers the chimes. The Still Chimes provide a relaxing sculpture to watch and listen to and act as a timer that keeps track of the amount of clean water being produced.
