Yes. Then it's "Coriolis Force" that's giving you that effect. Now, if you could just figure out how to keep that pool frozen you'd have a real neat clock. You can adjust the velocity of rotation by moving the mass closer or farther away from the axis of rotation. I think if you'd get a lot of John Deere wheel weights and get them in near the center you could really get that thing humming. Coriolis was a french scientist who made a study of motion in a plane of rotation. His law states basically that "a rotating body will continue to rotate with the same rotational velocity until some external force is applied to change the speed of rotation". Changes in velocity will take place if the mass of the rotating body is moved closer or farther away from the axis of rotation. Think of one of your Canadian skaters starting to turn on one foot with her arms and other leg extended out from her body. Rotation is relatively slow until she moves her arms and leg in close to her body. Then, suddenly, her rotational velocity increases rapidly. Anyway, the others are right as well. It does cause objects to rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemishpere and clockwise in the southern.
