OK brainiacs... How does this work?

[Shufdog]

I've watched it and watched and can't figure it out.

I know it's an optical illusion, but dammit, I can't figure it out!!

I assumed that was the angle, but it doesn't explain the water falling back to the original starting point.

from wiki...

An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a percept that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness, tilt, color, movement), and cognitive illusions where the eye and brain make unconscious inferences. They can also be known as "mind games".

He sent a positive charge to the molecules and it ionized the water. Pretty simple.

interesting didn't watch it to the end because I knew what it was modeled after. CG maybe?
