Another video (62 minutes) about the water thread experiment:
http://youtu.be/N1At3Gcd-No
Its from SETI and demonstrates the science behind.
It coveres everything from flow to conductivity to bubbles to
thermographic measurements and heavy water experiments.
Very interesting are the Schlieren photograpy demos where the water
flow is made visible.

This is about the water bridge experiment, not Bill Beaty's water
thread experiments.
His fine threads extended multiple times the length of the water
bridge, and were sustained indefinitely, with orders of magnitude
less current. Read the archive references.
