Much like the old time water ram, I remember one from my youth - the
house was long gone but the old pipe still gave a squirt of water
every few seconds.

Dad had one on their farm when he was a kid. It made quite
the impression on him, he was still pretty young.

You can still get/buy them. The last I knew Lehman's
Hardware still sold them (among others). See:
