Water ( Archived) (8)

Goes down my drain clockwise includng the toilet flush...what about yours??


Wonder how many of you have to check??

Above the equater clockwise ~ ~ below the equater counter clockwise

Beware of huge sharp objects Kismat...I am a master of jabbing needles

Ok so I guess in Australia it does run the other way then mine.lol.Some random thing I have always thought.

From Wikepedia....... Draining in bathtubs and toilets

A misconception in popular culture is that water in bathtubs or toilets always drains in one direction in the Northern Hemisphere, and in the other direction in the Southern Hemisphere as a consequence of the Coriolis effect. This idea has been perpetuated by several television programs, including an episode of The Simpsons and one of The X-Files. In addition, several science broadcasts and publications (including at least one college-level physics textbook) have made this incorrect statement.

Some sources that incorrectly attribute draining direction to the Coriolis force also get the direction wrong. If the Coriolis force were the dominant factor, drain vortices would spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern.

In reality the Coriolis effect is a few orders of magnitude smaller than various random influences on drain direction, such as the geometry of the container and the direction in which water was initially added to it. Most toilets flush in only one direction, because the toilet water flows into the bowl at an angle. If water shot into the basin from the opposite direction, the water would spin in the opposite direction.

................there you go, one more myth busted....
