Coriolis does not work at such a small level

It actually has to do with the TOILET JET STREAM DIRECTIONS

@xsupernazix I do believe there is NO toilets in the video.

I'm a bit curious as to why he's wearing a winter like jacket at the Eqautor. Lol

@Agent007202 Kenya is over 5000 feet above sea level, Like Denver

That doesn't work. The coriolis force doesn't effect your toilet, nor your water tap.

This is a totally phony demonstration. The direction of draining depends on the shape of the vessel and the way it is filled NOT the Coriolis effect. It's just an amusing demonstration for tourists.

4:06 BEES!! :O

RUN, RUNN!!!

Everything he said was otherwise correct, except for that the coriolis effect can be observed 20 meters minimum distance from the equator, and that you can observe this effect using a container. I am not sure if he's correct about the way the vines coil.

@sonnyzum, you are a retard - the coriolis effect is clearly demonstrated on either side of the equator - it makes perfect sense

@petertr2000 It IS a real force, but this video is fake.

@sonnyzum Here the direction is purely controlled by the guide who is pulls out the plug and takes out and puts in the leaves. It's particularly when taking out and putting in the leaves that they affect the flow.

A demonstration, which they want people to think is real, and which many tourists fall for.

hmmmmmmm interesting  @ indigostudio i never knew that. Thanks

@SuperHurra

Toilets are forced to go in opposite direction so they stay clean longer,

and as far as your tap, try filling up the sink then let it drain.
