About this converter
King Fahd jets 312 m off Jeddah, 112 clear of Gateway Geyser at 200. Bahria at 180 follows in Karachi. Dubai at 150, Cook at 147, Weeping Wall and Bellagio at 140 each, Banpo at 114, Montjuic at 50 and Wealth at 30 close the table. Jet height means water top in still air. Wind cuts real shows by meters. Wealth at 30 stays listed because it is the largest bronze fountain body, though its jet is the shortest here. That type range is flagged in its row.
How to use it
Pick two fountains and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try King Fahd against Bellagio to see more than double. The bars below scale to King Fahd so Wealth looks thin next to it. Switch the unit to feet for US figures. Ratios are exact divisions of the listed jet heights.
Bahria at 180 ranks above Dubai at 150 by jet despite draft table quirks. Builder specs give still air maxima. Dubai and Bellagio choreograph lower for music most shows. Wealth ring body is the record, not its 30 m jet, and is kept only for range with that flagged. Figures follow city and resort specs.
