Bouncing Jet: Normally, when you pour a liquid into a pool of another liquid, the stream plunges right in. But if that pool is moving when the liquid hits it, the stream can actually bounce along a thin layer of air just above the pool’s surface.

In the image above, silicone oil is poured into a moving bath of the same liquid. When the stream hits the air layer above the pool, the weight of the stream bends the pool’s surface like a rubber band — surface tension keeps the stream from punching through the top of the pool. The oil then bounces up out of the little dip it’s created and arcs over the pool.
