floating water
Water forms floating 'bridge' when exposed to high voltage
Two beakers side by side, filled part-way with water. With enough voltage, the water actually climbed out of the beakers and formed a "floating bridge" up to almost an inch in length. Water is weird, but cool.

I had an odd water experience today, too. Here's the story:
I'm away from home this weekend, staying at a hotel, and when I got here, I put a 12 pack of water in the little fridge in the room. At one point, I grabbed one to put in the coffee maker so that I could heat it up to make some tea. When I went to dump it into the coffee maker, I found it was frozen. Slushy, actually, but not entirely pourable.
I had Hubby go back to the fridge and get another one. I saw that it was clear, but when I went to dump it in the coffee maker, I found that IT was frozen as well.
SO.
I went BACK to the fridge and took out another bottle. I inspected it closely, and saw that it was liquid all the way through. Turned it upside-down, right-side up and saw the bubbles going from top to bottom and back again. Then I opened the bottle, took the cap off, and then put the cap back on it, and shook the bottle. Instant ice.
I don't mind telling you that it freaked me out a bit. I'm sure it has something to do with pressure equalization and the temp of the water being very close to 32F/0C, but I'd love to know how that works. Can you tell me?
