Sounds like we have a challenge.
OK I'm in the Northern Mid 40s latitude.
Do we have anybody in the southern mid 40's who wants to make the device
described on the website for testing?
Anyone at higher lats?
If you have kids, this is a good project because they can get science fair
credit for it.

Depends.
Are you on a train traveling east or west?
Or are you in a house that has been picked up by a tornado and you are
rapidly spinning counterclockwise?
Or have you been drinking heavily and the wash basin is already spinning
before you turn on the water?
BTW, I have visited Australia and NZ and I noticed that water flows based on
the direction of how it enters the wash/toilet bowl and the design of the
bowl.
And if Wirt points you to a web site that says 'hogwash' you had better
believe it. Wirt knows what he is talking about :-)
