The Fountain Bomb would be dropped from a plane above a body of water. It is shaped much like an average torpedo, although it is not an explosive. They drop it from at least 100 feet above the target water. After falling, the bomb-shaped container splits in half. A switch is flipped and a little red box inside ejects it's parachute and slowly and easily falls into the water. As soon as it hits water, the red box splits in half as well and the fountain with a water-proof battery is ejected. The fountain is connected to one of the halves by string and is completely floatable. The fountain will then turn on, sucking water in and shooting water out, causing motion. This motion or rippling effect will break open the mosquito egg raft thus killing the eggs and preventing them from hatching.
