stephen fry told me this is bs
caramelballoffur
You can influence the direction of the swirl by making half a circle with your hand. that metal in absolutely not "stabilizing" enough
GymnasticLime
Hi. I'm here to refer to one of the tags. How the hell am I supposed to try this at home?
lawideas
That's all bullshit. You can make water go down the drain either way. Fill your sink and see. Give the draining water a push with your hand.
Phantomasmca
False

This is BS, you're being tricked. They are influencing the direction by the way they pour it in.
meskuntujay
ITS FAKE!!
JoggingWithForks
It's a con. Water is poured into the bowl off centre to impart rotation. The last one water is poured straight down the middle of the bowl.
Asterix365
Trick is in the side where water is poured in

Welcome to Uganda and thank you. That would be $20. In Nigeria, it will cost you $100.

Anti clockwise? I might start saying that instead of counter clockwise. Was this new to anyone else?
CeruleanK
Eh, they're semantically identical. You want an interesting synonym for this, try "widdershins"
AxelYamanaka
It's a king's english thing. And it's stupid. I much prefer counter clockwise, even prefering much of the king's english myself

laevorotatory if you want a different word for it.

This is a tourist scam (others have posted sources). Downvote everyone who refuses to spend 20 seconds fact-checking before posting BS.
DiabloGrandeArts
That's pretty bold for a guy who claims to know about space...
Xpaqui2
Half of the front page is unsourced, uninformed material and here we are worried about the Uganda criminal masterminds.

Janusha
Its Africa so obviously this is a con for the tourists.
Retsam19
This is faked. They control it by how they pour the water in. There's a really good video on the subject here: https://youtu.be/mXaad0rsV38
SaneBrain
He stabilized the water, that was the point of the white blade. the aperture shape is probably the effect here. Still cute. I'd pay him.

Immediately what I thought while watching him pour in the 2nd one.
dagg3r
Pretty sure the aperture also dictates the direction
Heroasteral
He did a video colab with Destin from smarter everyday
Eyjafjallajokull
This video is imo also pretty good https://youtu.be/pdMZjssrAlk

I wanted to believe.
thehoesenone
I don't know much about Africa, but something tells me they shouln't be wasting that water like that
Cayowin
Uganda is a tropical rain forest, There are 2 seasons, rainy season and harder rainy season
DarthVedavyas
the effect isn't pronounced like they make it out to be: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-somebody-finally-sett/
dickbutttt
its a scam.

FatMorty
Its a local con for money
DontKnowTheSource
It's a con, but it does show something minorly scientific. Plus it makes money for the village
YouThinkThatsBad
When I was young I was stupid and let a guy stamp up my passport at checkpoint Charlie. Paid him one euro to do it too.
Retardedpidgeon
What? in Africa? naaa
Janusha
Its Africa, so ofcourse it is.
hand2glandkombat
At least they are on their feet hustling.
Janusha
Putting the bar low, arent we.
hand2glandkombat
Not really, consider the thousands of active clickbait articles there are on the internet. Even big companies use the tactic now
Janusha
Ofcourse corporations have their tricks in between. But these are 3 buckets in Africa.

The Coreolis Effect only impacts massive systems like hurricanes and ocean currents, not water buckets, sinks, or toilets.
YouSufferWithCognitiveDissonance
Not really see here: https://youtu.be/pnbJEg9r1o8
dirtybyrdi
Sorry for this. Coriolis* Effect.
OddOod
also artillery strikes
HsuDoNihm
Oh it has an impact... a tiny impact to miniscule to be measured, but still.
Mamaof2QTs
The Coriolis Force is weakest at the equator.
phoenixfromashes
All the smartness in this thread is sexy.
patstoffy
It would impact these small scale items if there were truly no other factor (wind, residual currents). This experiment is not precise enough
ddet1207
Smarter Every Day did a video that showed how the effect impacted the draining of an inflatable pool.

Let them dream a bit!

Tell that to Tobias Drundridge. Poor fella accepted a collect call that cost him $900 dollarydoos.

This is great because this exact episode was on fx like 2 hours ago.
JacksonsDaddy
YouTube Smarter every and Veritasium. Destin and Derek did this experiment, in Australia and Alabama with identical kiddie pools.
YouSufferWithCognitiveDissonance
All they needed was just one pool https://youtu.be/pnbJEg9r1o8
furriephillips
Twas a great collaboration video.
Airwolfen
Believe it was something like, 'Yes it exists, but its effects are extremely minor'
AIComments
Yes, they needed a whole pool and a lot of time.
DasFerrus
Technically it does! But the effect is so negligible at such a small scale that it's overpowered by the slightest anything.
ShartistFormerlyKnownAsSPCR
You a bucket scientist?
RandomlyAppointedNSAAgent
Doesn't take a scientist to know if the arrows are painted, that raises their surface by a bit, and gives the water a guide to follow.
glovelyday
No, just a bullshit detector.
LordNarwhalofthe69
Must be defective
glovelyday
Not when I comes to this lame "demo".
causeyourepretty
Do you have an explanation for the purported observations that it drains in a specific way depending on the hemisphere?
patstoffy
If the experiment were legit the area closer to the pole tends to flow west because it's rotating faster than the area closer to the equator
caramelballoffur
Its the way they pour the water. You can test it on your sink, you don't need much force to make it to spin in the direction you want.
caramelballoffur
The metal the use to "stabilize" the water does not dissipate all the force and it still spins on the direction the poured it in.
Alphahi
Well, Veritasium did a video showing that it works on smaller pools, but they tested after a day or more of resting.
glovelyday
Not convincing. Nor was Smarter Every Day's. Still too many variables, would require much more precision on that scale.
Alphahi
It would be nice if videos like this did multiple trials, I guess.
