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.
Possibly there is a misunderstandment.
I have seen many of his experiments, especially the experiment with dry
ice nebula on a water surface.
It is clearly visible that a stream of focussed air ions flow to the
water surface and draws traces into the steam.
Air ions make the nebula coagulate and vanish, this makes them visible.
I would however call this air threads, and not water threads. There are
focussed and laminar threads of ions flowing in air and this
demonstration really impressed me. I have seen this last year or
earlier. I have read everything about air ions, that I could get at this
time and discovered his site also.
I have not found any water thread experiments made by him, sorry.
If there is something else, a pointer would be welcome.
