It's really the height that is critical...after watching the video we notice that the height that they were using was about 20 cm. It's also important to have a steady stream. We were able to get the Kaye effect at the kitchen table on a dirty plate, and then slanting one plate we were able to create the continuous one. Hope that helps...Long live Kaye Effect!

Hi there, iÂ´m trying over and over again... but i donÂ´t get the results... can anyone tell me what kind of surface do we need to try this?

Some kind of "moving-surface"?

I tried this in the shower with my girlfriends shampoo for over 10 minutes...when she walked in and saw what I was doing she wasn't amused with it and I was promptly robbed of my "Kaye Experimenting with Shampoo in the Shower" moment.

Simply outstanding, I think I might go buy some extra shampoo now.

Umm..."think stream of viscous fluid?"

Fascinating. Amazing how high-speed cameras put phenomena down to our speed so we can observe it. I wonder how many small processes go unnoticed because they're outside of our reach in being too small, too fast, too large, etc...
