Thanks!

On CNN they were looping video while talking about it of the CV and some of the water jets and a pool with a grid looking structure in it, been trying to find that video or an actual video or pictures of a reacotr like it with an explination… A Diagram is one thing but id like to see actual pictures and explinations
