Water Bridges

I am spending some time waiting for my hands to ease up a bit, wandering around the weird physics section of Youtube.
I learned that in 2007, Elmer Fuchs and colleagues in Austria created a 25 mm long water bridge, with the help of an electrical current. Not a bridge over water, a bridge created simply with electricity and water, floating between one beaker and another.
Here are a few cool videos.

This is one of Dr. Fuch's videos, showing the bridge as it is created.


This one, using a laser beam, shows that the water is in fact swirling within the bridge while traveling from one beaker to another


These two were done with a thermgraphic camera by Elmer C. Fuchs also:




I wonder what other bonds electricity can strengthen?
Sci Fi Live! Gotta love it :-}
