Coriolis Fountain

The Coriolis force is an apparent force that affects winds on the Earth’s surface. It can be attributed to the rotation of the earth.

This exhibit serves to illustrate this phenomenon: in the rotating fountain, three jets of water spray inwards and three from the centre outwards.

Can you turn the fountain so that the opposite rays meet?
