The Liquid Rope-Coil Effect
Loading...
Uploaded by psidot on Jun 30, 2007
Honey is dribbled off the end of a chopstick into a pot below. As the falling stream stikes the pool of honey below, it turns itself into tight circular coils which rapidly begin to pile one on top of the other. A growing column of liquid coils of rope begin to emerge from above the surface of the honey in the pot in an effect referred to as the liquid rope-coil effect.
Uneveness in the amount of sinking at the base of the growing column of coils causes it to collaspe before a new column of liquid coils re-emerge and begin to rise up again.
The rate of coiling is increased as the height from which the honey is allowed to fall from is raised.

Excellent...
You win the "Occam's Razor" prize! ;-)
I half-expected a slew of pseudo-scientific guesses about "Coriolis effect" or "Quantum entanglement" or "The right-hand rule" or "conscious electrons in Earth's core"... etc..
It gives me hope when make reasonable guesses based on observation & a little research, then choose the simplest sensible explanation.
Now, if you can help spread this "CSV"
(Common Sense Virus) ...the world will be a better place!
Best Wishes! ;-)
