Coriolis Fontäne

Watch spiralling streams of water

Rotate the fountain with gushing water and watch how the shape of the water streams changes. This special fountain demonstrates the principle behind the Rotating Room and Rotating Bench exhibits ??“ the Coriolis force - from the outside. After spinning the fountain you can observe how the path of the water stream turns right or left depending on the direction of rotation. The same thing is done by the surface of the Earth when, as a result of its rotation, large whirlpools, cyclones or cannon balls on long trajectories change direction.
