Apart from the discovery of the dynamo principle, Ányos Jedlik is also credited with the basics of carbonated water production. The fountain is a testament to this discovery.

The bronze statue commemorates the fact that the first Hungarian sighting of the potato beetle, an insect that destroys the leaves of the potato plant, was in Hédervár in 1947. The plaque by the only statue in the country depicting a bug emphasizes that the artwork does not honor the pest, but rather the beginning of the organized protection of plants and crops which dates back to around the time when the potato beetle was discovered.
