Leaping Liquid and Bouncing Bridges
by Sandi

An interesting phenomenon, something that I've never seen or heard of called the "Kaye effect" is apparently quite common with certain liquids like soap. When poured onto a surface, the down-going stream suddenly throw up a jet that swirls, then merges with the incoming stream.

The only reason we don't see it is because generally it's over in an instant. Anyhow, I thought it was pretty neat and will probably be wasting a bottle of dishsoap just to see if I can get a glimpse of it.
