Abstract: In the waterfountain branch exist a technology gap in the dancing waterfountain niche. To close this niche, a systematic niche design approach is needed to bring out a successful product in less time to close this gap efficiently. This paper shows a suggested systematic design approach on the example of a new dancing waternozzle with an easy control unit. The design methodology shows the product specification, conceptual design, detailed design and a validation using FEA tool and Rapid prototyping. The design approach uses different methods for a fast design generating. The design approach is explained in every step with an example of the dancing waterfountain. A dancing waternozzle without a complex control unit is developed. The detailed design of the dancing waternozzle is made successfully with this approach but to fulfil all requirements to this design further development on the design is needed.
