FIELD: special light-based effects.
SUBSTANCE: method is based on interaction of light with liquid objects. Light is directed to layer of liquid, free surface of which is deformed, inducing thermo-capillary currents. Device has sources of light and pressurized transparent chamber with liquid. Chamber has shape of a sphere, on inner surface of which light beams sources are held, directed to sphere positioned in the center of chamber, on top of which liquid is fed by pump, which runs down along sphere surface, and thermo-capillary currents are induced by point heaters mounted in the sphere in places of falling of light beams, which point heaters are controlled by electronic block.
EFFECT: higher efficiency, broader functional capabilities.
