Weird water

[Jonti]

When water in two beakers is exposed to a high voltage, a floating water bridge forms between the beakers.

"While it's one of the most important and abundant chemical compounds on Earth, water is still a puzzle to scientists. Much research has been done to uncover the structure of water beyond the H2O scale, which is thought to be responsible for many of water’s unique properties. However, the nature of this structure, governed by hydrogen bonds, is currently unknown."

Is that like... some sort of 'electric water arc'?

I think water is cool.

 

[Hi-ASL]

And refreshing. Cool... and refreshing.

Water is a fascinating substance. Even the fact that its solid form (ice) floats on its liquid form, because it has a lower density, is very unusual as substances go.

Like how it sticks to the celling - what's all that about?

Voodoo.

Right I have got my beakers full of water. I have my anode and cathode and a rectifier to convert my mains to DC. Just how many volts DC do I need?

Just crank it up til the water leaps out of the beaker.
