To Build a Bridge of Water

While looking up on encryption with regards to the Cs-133 hyperfine splitting experiment, I stumbled across an article on a water bridge between two beakers of water.

It occurs when a large voltage difference is applied to the two beakers of water. The exact procedure and setup is described in a journal article published in Journal of Physics D (link). I haven't really looked into it in detail, but I think it shouldn't be too difficult to carry out.

Maybe one day I'll try to replicate the experiment.
