Interesting Discovery: Floating Water Bridge Phenomenon

Posted: 29 Apr 2009 03:06 AM PDT

While I was browsing over the web, I saw this old news at Physorg.com about that floating water bridge phenomenon. That floating water bridge was discovered by Elmar Fuchs and his team. The floating water bridge is generated with the help of high-voltage electricity: this is where water creates a long stream – these scientists had noted that the bridge could get as long as 25 millimeters.

I got this video that shows this interesting floating water bridge phenomenon. These scientists will still have to uncover the secrets of this incident. These wise guys think that "electrostatic charges on the surface of the water cause the water molecules to become highly ordered and form a microstructure that will remain stable." For now we could all just be content to watch this one while those physicists try to figure out why this happens.

Do you have any (crazy) idea where this phenomenon can be applied? Let me know what you think through the comments.
