The Floating Water Bridge

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.

@hoarston : Unlikely. But still, it's strange that there are no bubbles to be seen; no electrolysis.

@TehScreamingWeirdo only if we were grounded, if the voltage remains the same all around us there would not be a problem.

everything is connected
Imagine :)
-
putting a charge throu the 2 liquids would effect there intermolecular hydrogen bonding
-
its salt water?
-
what about a magnetic liquid pool?

oh lol.
-
nah they would be closed then. you need electricity to make this work. we would get shocked if we get into the water

Moses?
Actually the water's surface tension is nowhere near enough to form a bridge like that. This trick is done by inducing high voltage between the 2 beakers of water.
