I was curious about the coriolis effect. I knew that it had a large scale impact on the weather and wind patterns. I also knew that it was the reason we see counter-clockwise rotation when water moves through a drain. The question is - what happens on the equator, and how far do you need to be from the equator to observe the effect - well here is a video showing the effect in action. In case you are wondering - we tried this over and over again and always got the exact same results - happy viewing.
