water bridges

[BleedingCello]

The music sounds alot like the "Rooftop" level from Twisted Metal.  Good Stuff.

[HousbinPharteen1]

God parted the Red Sea this way for Moses! On a large scale of course. hehe

[ScientificExploits]

@HousbinPharteen1 No. Using this method you could not "part" any water. It seems to combine water. If your "god" were to shock the red sea he would only succeed in killing millions of innocent fish, and some kid who was too close to the waters edge.

[HousbinPharteen1]

The water is simply following the dc current jump across the gap. Since water conducts electricity very well.

[KrazyGameR67]

And I can water into wine ;)

[happynobody]

Too much epic music

[derman077]

Can an object, say a pencil or straw, be balanced against the floating stream? 

[standeyo]

This experiment was first performed in 1842 by Lord W. G. Armstrong (a friend of Michael Faraday). This was reported in "The Vindicator Scrolls" (my book) in 1989 and later in 2010 in "The GEMstone Scrolls Part One (also by me). In the latter I gave a detailed mathematical explanation of the test results and the resulting changes to electrodynamic theory.

See standeyo.com for more info.

[petercarrion1]

amazing... :D

[nfexp]

I saw something similar in oil. Looks like a high k polar liquid dielectric can perform work under high voltage...which is very strange, its a kind of electron leakage effect mixed with some kind of Winslow effect...

[Darolyde]

this music is loads of bits taken from wow music...

[KitchenerAnon]

No Dice.

[frankensteinmoneymac]

This was Realy interesting! Perhaps not quite as dramatic as the music would imply :)

But really cool none the less......I am wondering....Does salt water (making the water more conductive) help this bridge to form, or should only pure tap water be used? Also I thought the poster who asked what would happen if a magnet was brought near had an interesting Idea. Im not sure myself.....I would assume that since current would be moving through the stream then it may bend in a magnetic field.

[xlovenuggetx]

i didnt know water had this property

[adnortino]

holy shit this video only needed to be 30 seconds... tops.

[happytime1711]

@adnortino Wadsworth's constant applies

[afdhalatifftan92]

Hey, try put some strong magnets close the bridge!!

Bet it would be interesting...

[Medorcrit]

It would be interesting to see if a feasible bridge could be made by doing this so that it would be able to carry something across.

[Curixq]

So if I'm right the molecules turn their positive site to the kathode and their negative side to the anode right?

So, if you freeze the 2 glasses of water while they're doing this and then remove the 2 elektrodes (and the frozen bridge) ,

would the 2 blocks of ice attract each other like magnets do? but with an electric field instead of a magnet field?

[crippled82]

10.000V and no hydrogen, why not?

[Palsness]

really pure water, small bubbles form on the electrodes.

[yzerguy]

No doubt this experiment can kill you, especially when your beakers look like shot glasses -- I'd shoot those back like tequila poppers, electrodes and all! LOL. I got started on another vid of the same concept, guess I've had a few since...

Cheers

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

I have a 5000V neon sign transformer, hopefully that will work. I'm so trying this in the morning lol

[LordOfTheGnus]

I bet it will work. Does it?

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

it worked out OK, just not as well as this =P

[Kamachi360]

this is all because of electrostatic force

[LordOfTheGnus]

unicorn nipple

[alig117]

True

[frankensteinmoneymac]

Hmmmm strangly enough I think your on to something.....unicorn nipple indeed!

Unicorn Nipples for all!!!!

Bravo good man! Bravo I Say!

[blankdecks4me]

FAKE!

[rfwebster]

how?

[GRANUALES]

Did you bother to look thus up, or are you just a retard who wants attention?

[blankdecks4me]

neither!  Just a joke, but it looks like the people who watch this can't take one.

[anavrintobin]

Shouting FAKE is not funny tho. If it was you wouldn't have to explane to people that it was.

[kiesiu4]

not fake:P look how many videos are on youtube, look at mine also :P

[henrytod]

Thats not really funny, I still want you to die in a fiery pit.

[gaythedude]

i like the epic music

[superhornet59]

man you do not want to get your finger between the two beakers haha.

where is the background music from by the way.. i swear ive heard it somewhere..

cheers,

Matt

[icecoldprince]

Nice... I am going to try this... Hey can you tell me the name of the music used in this video???

[hydrocarz]

There's no way i could read everything you have read, "Big Thanks!"

Keep up the great work man! I cant wait to see whatever your next video will be LOL.

5 stars from me!

[gotoluc]

Hi Palsness,

great video demo!

Thanks for sharing
