Hi Fellas, Just a little cool video for Patrons. -How to change a stream of water from bending into an electric field, to bending out of it!!! There is so much here that I dont understand here. I've now started 'multi stream' experiments. There are even more weird! Still hard to believe you can do science in your kitchen with a pop bottle and balloon that our current scientific understanding struggles to describe!

The thing which seems strange is that the glass only apparently doesnt have any effect. It could be of help to try a setup with a longer constant stream of water and moving the charged objects slower so that effects can be more clearly distinguished.

What happens when you hold the glass at a lower relative position? Remember how the region of droplet formation appears to be special somehow?

Lincoln Markel

My guess would be that since you are using the glass that poured that water, and it still has water in it when you hold it to the stream, the stream could be attracted to it, just not strongly enough to deflect the stream at that point because of the high rate of flow. So perhaps the charges could be rearranged by the influence of the glass/water, and by the time the stream reaches the balloon ( a much larger force able to deflect the water lower along the stream) the charges are arranged in a way that the stream deflects away from the balloon.

Theo Cookson

It still deflects when you just put your hand up right? So it's the glass that's causing it. Is the balloon reacting with your hand in some way? Or your skin? I don't fuckin know lol.

weird, hope u get to the bottom of this. Really curious now!
