this theory was debunked a long time ago, it has nothing to do with Coriolis. The perturbations and turbulences within the water creating residual angular momentum, and the minor imperfections in the container are what determines the direction of drainage.
Northern hemisphere is turning clockwise and the southern hemisphere counter clockwise then on December 11th the solar system moving at 69,000 kph crossed the Milky Way Equator and the spin reversed caused by the equator of the Milky EWay Galaxy as we move northward and are now above the equator. Yahweh
@NibiruClose Sorry buddy, we crossed the galactc equater going N 3 million yr ago, but so what--crossing it will not affect earth in any way. And last time i looked earth was turnng countr clockwise (when viewd fr above th N pole)Gee,dude, the sun does set in the west!! U need 2 do some studyng 2 learn why this causes a movng object 2 veer to th right, and (counter intuitivly?)why this causes hurricans (and yes even drains in a very controlled test much further N) to rotate counterclockwise
@NibiruClose Wellyur correct on that one anyhow--anyone who believes that on dec 11
the earth reversd its spin IS a clown! And i distinctly remember that on dec 10 the sun set in the west, and amazingly it did that last evening too. lol. Any 8 yr old can visualize that if th sun sets in th west, th urth is turning CCW (as viewd fr above th N pole). And how did u determine that on dec 11 the solar sys crossed th "gal equatr"?? Got 2 cut back on thos funny cigars fella
@NibiruClose so the explination my oceanography professor gave to me during lecture a few weeks ago is wrong? the earth spins at a lower eastward velocity at higher latitudes than near the equatorial region. As a result any object shot north from the lower latitudes will undergo a rightward deflection. but this only occurs at great distances, not in a plastic bowl.
@olvordahl Of course u and ur professor are right! But any object moving in ANY direction (in th N hemi) will veer 2 th right--can u visualize why. Also, do u visualize how this veering to th right causes storm systems (and yes even large controlled drain experiments) to go left (CCW)??
I've read a demo that shows the so-called Coriolis effect this way but to see any rotation you'd need to be at higher (or lower) latitudes and you would need to wait days for any initial motion of the poured water to damp down. Then water flowing out of the basin in the Northern latitudes would turn counter-clockwise (cyclonic) just like air flowing into a low pressure zone. So OB1 is being conned.
This is backwards - the water should drain down counterclockwise in the north and clockwise in the south, just like low pressure systems. You can make water go down a drain however you want depending on the shape of the vessels, how you start pouring it, etc. Try it yourself! This is a mild scam - Jogo has found a way to extract a few dollars from tourists passing by, but he got the directions wrong in his demo. Enough to fool even a young Obi Wan Kenobe.
no experiment that can demonstrate coriolis effect would ever work this close to equator. The effect is asronomically small. Have you ever heard of a foucalt pendulum 30 feet from the equator??? --would take millions of years to rotate once. For all practicl purposes there is no coriolis effect 30 feet or 30 miles or 300 miles from the equator.
@MrBojangles983 When they say it's fake, they mean it's a trick. The Coriolis Force should not (and does not) have an effect on drains. Don't believe me? Fill up your sink with water and watch it drain. Fill it up again, and stir it in the opposite direction before you let it drain. It's not going to stop and spin the other way because Coriolis has nothing to do with drains, and everything to do with weather, air, and water currents.
@MrBojangles983 yes but also because we were south of the Milky Way galaxy then on December 11th 2012 we crossed the equatorial line of the galaxy and the effect causes the Southern hemisphere of the earth to sping clockwise, a first, so it is the galaxy causing it. Yahweh
he poured the water on the left when he was on the south and on the right when he was on the left, that's the trick

coriolis effect only works over a great distance and has to do with the different speeds of earths rotation about its axis. False
