  • never knew that thanks

  • u need to leave the water to stop moving then unplug it coz wen u take the plug out straight after u turn the tap off it then gets forced to go a certin way

  • @MrCeiranevo Thanks for the response. Any influence in the water motion causes the exaggerated angular momentum visible. The body of water isn't big enough, or ever settled enough to be influenced totally by the mass of the Earth for the Coriolis effect. This is how the "Showmen" who demonstrate this effect at the equator do it. They twist their hands in the water when removing the plug, influencing the direction of angular momentum. So one side of the line is clockwise, the other anti :)

  • @beakz

    It also depends on the design of the basin/sink, the shape and where the drain hole is placed. This saying it goes one way above the equator and the other below it is total bullshit.
