Alina you never cease to amaze me with your content and the effort you put in to get us all the information, pure class....... p.s As you know i live in Australia and yes i can confirm the water drains clockwise.......
Thank you so much for confirming! I filmed this video months ago when you haven’t discovered my channel yet. It would have been so much easier to just ask you 🤣🤣🤣
Holaaa Alina estuvo bien educativo este vídeo sobre la linea de Ecuador y los experimentos en el museo de la linea de ecuador me gustó el experimento del huevo en un clavo, veremos el otro video el año que viene, besos y abrazos de tu amigo venezolano.
@aventuralina Eso es lo importante de un museo en este siglo que sea interactivo, sigue disfrutando tu viaje por China, esos videos de China para el año que viene van hacer impactante los voy esperar ansias besos y abrazos de tu amigo venezolano.
I hate to say this but, the whirlpool experiment is fake, it's just a tourist trap. While yes, there is a Coriolis effect is real, it is not strong enough to affect the water. The guy demonstrating it has a technique to remove the plug and make the water spins to one side or the other or even make it still. The Coriolis effect does, however, influence the air in both north and south hemisphere.
I believe that a lot of people THINK they're in the middle of the Earth and the ancient Quitans just by random chance happened to be right (modulo the other 25,000 miles that are also on the equator, anyway). I mean, "Mediterranean" also means "middle of the Earth" but that doesn't mean the equator goes anywhere near it.
The clockwise/anticlockwise rotation of the water has long been a well known SCAM. In moving the bowl from one side of the line to the other, the operator gives it a slight movement to initiate movement of the water in the chosen direction and or pours water into the bowl such that it flows in the chosen direction. Apparently punters do not spot the sleight of hand and willingly assume that moving a bowl a meter or two has such an affect as to cause the water to rotate in the direction opposite to the previous direction. So of course they pay for the experience. So now you know.
Our guide actually said that the effect on the equator wouldn’t be strong enough to really move quantities of water. Nevertheless, this is a visualisation of the powers of our earth and it educates on that topic. A lot of people are visual learners and I believe that these demonstrations help people to understand the physics of our planet better. I did enjoy the visit a lot and found it very interesting what they’ve told us
The City of Quito is approximately 3000 years old, in pre-Columbian times it was adorned by life-size gold sculptures, with an obsession for personal hygiene and veneration of nature. During Spanish patronage, it was considered the cradle of American Baroque.
It's too bad they let those people do fake experiments on the equator. Sorry, but there's no experiment where moving a few meters north or south will make any difference remotely larger than the random movement of molecules within an egg or within a sink basin. The coriolis force is only measurable over large distances and longer time frames (and farther from the equator). Your weight does change slightly over thoisands of miles, yes. Swirling washbasin, no, it's faked by the guides who change how the water is poured or the basin slightly moved. Consider that they used to do the same "experiments" on the fake equator 200m away. If it actually worked, they never would have mistakenly placed the equator line in the first place. And you'd get duzzy by the coriolis effect every time you moved your head.
@Tux.Penguin yes, and it's also true every other day of the year. People just try harder on the equinoxes. You just have to make people believe it and they will confirm their beliefs with such "experiments."
Some people online today, one quarter into the twenty first century, cling to that notion and may get very angry if you try to correct them, so it may be better to just ignore a fool.
Hola Alina, espero hayas pasado unas felices pascuas. Tus documentales, extraordinarios como siempre!! ❤❤❤
Gracias 🤗 Espero que tu también hayas disfrutado los festivos con tus seres queridos!
That was great. Learned new stuff.
Thank you! I also learnt a lot at the museum and am happy to be able to share this knowledge here on my channel ☺️
Gracias por dar a conocer a ecuador
Fue un placer ☺️

@@aventuralina haha yes it would have ....

Gracias Alejandro! Para mí visitar este museo fue muy interesante. Aprendí mucho y me gustó que fue tan interactivo 🤩
@aventuralina Eso es lo importante de un museo en este siglo que sea interactivo, sigue disfrutando tu viaje por China, esos videos de China para el año que viene van hacer impactante los voy esperar ansias besos y abrazos de tu amigo venezolano.

Agree. I find this video to be very troublesome.

I heard that balancing an egg is possible on the two equinoxes, spring and autumn. Is that true?
@Tux.Penguin yes, and it's also true every other day of the year. People just try harder on the equinoxes. You just have to make people believe it and they will confirm their beliefs with such "experiments."
Some people say the earth is flat! 🌍
I believe that theory is a bit old 😜

This is where the Hobbits live.
