This is so cool. Someone hooked up a sine wave generator to a hose of water and filmed the results. The water appears to create magical physics-defying coils.

So what’s the trick? Well, unfortunately the water wouldn’t actually look like this in real life. The illusion is created by using a 24-frames-per-second camera while creating a 24hz sine wave, so they’re in perfect harmony. It’s still really cool though.

Thanks @jennykatzmusic for pointing this out!
