Somehow there was probably a current set up in the tubing. If it was flowing from right to left, it would explain the initial spiral orbit. There might be some fun variations on this experiment based on measuring the voltages and currents. Electrical engineers and physics majors never get to see our electrons!Kailua, Hawaii Andrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500696205272129721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297034357860717924.post-60505381205985225422011-08-25T15:04:43.707-07:002011-08-25T15:04:43.707-07:00Please note Marilyn Sniffen that the water is NOT ...Please note Marilyn Sniffen that the water is NOT orbiting, but SPIRALING according to the right-hand rule. Somehow there was probably a current set up in the tubing. Repeat it with a ammeter (micro?). My guess is that the left side was grounded and the current was flowing from the right.Kailua, Hawaii Andrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500696205272129721noreply@blogger.com
