You are spot on. Two drains run underneath a road and are both about 40cm in diameter. The water is about 5 - 6 feet deep and anyone getting caught in there wouldn't come out again. The water would pull them through a barbed-wire fence and into the drains. Someone with adult-sized shoulders would be stuck and drowned in one of the drain pipes.

In Australia they''re called "whirlies"

nice example of when a second vortex is nearby the other one will contra-rotate. (spin the opposite direction) this happens to less than 1% of all tornado systems, this little vid is a good insight to the forces that allow it to spin the other way.

What is so odd also about the double whirlpools is the fact that one has a clockwise rotation while the other one has a counterclockwise rotation to it.

Your posts were very educational and I managed to learn from them (mumbles something about an old dog ;) learning new tricks)! I'm totally blown away by the idea of whirlpools in any body of water. Thank you for posting.

He should have stuck something light in there to test it out

I love that they're spinning in opposite directions. Just neat to look at.

It's cool how they spin in opposite directions :D

thats because we dont live on a dumb globe. debunks the Coriolis effect

twin.ahaah i can't believe.! awesome video.

Defies well known Coreolis Effect of fixed water rotation direction below the equator. ALL of Australia is below the equator so this should not happen, but is happening.

The coreolis effect is weak with water and the way it rotates depends on other conditions

rotating in opposite directions.... soooo gooooood to the eyes!!

thats accualy pretty cool bro nice one

this is amazing and makes me think how do they work

They're rotating in opposite directions. That is funky!

Really cool. I could watch that for a while, lol. I just wonder where that water was going.

This istantly disproves the theory that water spins in different ways depending on which hemisphere your in... thank you for clearing that one up for me

Whoa! They're like feeding of each other. So cool.

i had this happen in my backyard pool but its rare happens once every 4 months

awesome whirlpool

Woah...... its a DOUBLE WHIRLPOOL!

My god simon I can't believe you got so many hits for that. Love Peter Zirkzee

dude you are awsome

the puzzling thing is that we are told that in the northern hemisphere whirlpools always spin in a clockwise fashion. IT is evident that two whirlpools spinning in the same direction can not exist near each other so that at some point in their formation one was stronger than the other and forced it to be in the reverse direction.

they look like there spinning oposet directions witch is weird n very interesting if im seeing this right. awesome vid btw

Impressive

awesome!! if only in the UK we had that -.-

OMG I thought this would be a frickin corny video of ONE PICTURE, but its not! Congratulations for making a GOOD video!

2 holes sounds great

AMAZING

@TheGleeVids I thought it was interesting because I remember back in school we were taught that toilets in Australia spin the other direction like typhoons which spin counter-clockwise. This shows that toilets can spin either direction and so Typhoons must have some other forces acting other than the Coriolis Force on it than water. Water probably doesn't act on that effect explaining why it spins any way it wants (probably depending on how it drains).

Very interesting if you put it in terms of two galaxies colliding and how matter is sucked into the blackholes at their centers.

Cool!!!

yeah the lake has eyes!

They are just above drains in the lowest part of the flooded field. There was almost the exact same thing in a flooded soccer ground near where I live.

Too Cool! They are not even going in the same direction. One is going clockwise and the other is going counter clockwise.

amazing

Cool! Was there a drain there that they were being sucked down in to? Very strange that they run in different directions.

Now, having a paddock with TWO plugholes! Thats fancy....

Wow I have never seen that before.

that is DAMN good drainage .. and it answers which way water flushes, "down under".

it doesn't usually rain in Australia but when it does... it floods the place 6 ft under waster and creates dual whirl pools.

I like this twin whirlpool

pretty sick

Wow they're contra-rotating!

Damn it! Now I have to go back and get HM06!

That would scare the heck out of me.

up at our farm there is a constant whirlpool next to the concrete bridge we have across a creek, its simply water being sucked under the bridge and into a pipe so the bridge dosnt act like a dam and it lets water pass under

One started and set the direction of flow before the second began. That close together, they couldn't rotate against each other. The first one set the dynamics, the direction of river flow supported it...and away it went...wheeeeeeee.

Trippy 💖

Wow!! how long did it take to drain out the pool?!

OMG DO A VIDEO ABOUT TWO WHIRLPOOLS COMBINE TOGETHER

Where is the water going? Anywhere? Is this paddock drained? Or is there some formation underneath on the ground. Because the two whirlpools aren't drifting or moving, look pretty stationary.

Awesome footage. Thanx for sharing it. I think that i would be standing well back from them, as they look pretty strong. Also they seemed to be moving in opposite directions from each other ? Am i right about that ? I will have another look. Thanx again. Hope all is ok for you, with the floods. " Droughts and Flooding Rain" -Got that right! All the best.

I noticed that one whirlpool flows in a counterclockwise direction while the other is flowing in a clockwise direction. All in the southern hemisphere. I guess the Coriolis effect is not always the rule of flow on a oblate sphere rotating from east to west.

+David Bowman Even though the coriolis effect is stated to affect the rotation of whirlpools, the effect is small in comparison to other factors that affect the direction of rotation.

When I watch this video I see some water and then BOOM! It hits me right in the eye...Double Whirlpool!!!

dirty water? I don't wanna dive in there XD

so i was watching ferret videos and cant quite remember how i got from there to here but way cool whirlpools

Yeah, it was the first thing I noticed too.

i feel like jumping in a vortex now its like another dimension in there

@vikkiandbradley07 Very interesting and thanks for the explanation about the elongated left whirlpool. It's sort of mesmerising to watch. Fancy finding this phenomenon in the middle of a field somewhere near Lennox! Actually I shouldn't be so surprised because there are so many natural wonders there but this one looks quite dangerous. I wonder if it feeds some underground lake or cave. Maybe a hole that gets filled up with water then suddenly one day when it's dry the earth gives way?... Hairy!

oh my god double whirlpool all the way :O

The 2 whirlpools rotate in opposite directions, one clockwise the other anti so they draw anything between them like two vertical rollers and squeeze it and spit it out or one of the two swallows it. There are 2 such reported in the Illiad written by Homer, which were the bane of seamen in antiquity. One was named Charybdis the other Scylla. If you tried too hard to avoid one, you fell into the other.

@kurtyakimovich inconceivable!

did they collide?

Brilliant, one clockwise, the other anti-clockwise - looked one was slightly feeding the other? (I wonder if there's any analogy with galaxies/black-holes?)

aahh, liquids, I love you so much

I wonder if a whirlpool takes you to another dimension it would be cool

I didn't think about it at the time - will do so again if I can!

Where is it going? Underground natural reservoir?

i like how one is going clockwise and the other is counter clockwise.

is it a storm drain at the bottom or somthing?

On the other end are the fountains in Las Vegas Nevada...

@astronemesis50 I'd assume a whirlpool would spring counter clock wise in OZ, but same whirlpool would spring clockwise if located in say North America. Right? But side by side like that; weird. Is it because they're side by side, that one rotates in one direction, the other in an opposite way?

This still doesnt answer my question of, does water swirl the other way in Australia?

Now we need a Double rainbow to accompany this.

they appear to be spinning in opposite directions. The one on the left appears to be spinning clockwise, the one on the right appears to be spinning counterclockwise. They are making a dipole unit

@UndercoverCreature6 That's right - two storm drains running under a road. The diameter of each drain is about 500 mm. The water runs through a barbed wire fence before it enters the drains. I wouldn't want to disappear down one of the whirlpools - very strong chance you'd never surface again!

WOw 2 Whirpools.... Sooo beautiful... oh my.. what does it means...? ... O _ O

Sooo put a transmitter beacon in a small capsule, drop it in, and see where she goes! I'd love to see all the information!

Because the turn of the one on the left is feeding the one on the right if you look closly

To me it just looks like two water intakes sucking at their jobs..

were does it go... im mean all that water?

@thecsslife in shell island in wales they do. When the tide starts going out there are loads of them by the road! ;)

It's a DOUBLE RAINBOW!

Amazing to be able to see these so closely. They are all very dangerous and some have been known to suck in entire ships. Not a fun idea to come upon these while taking a cruise!

Meh they look too small

How would it feel if you put your hand in there? Does it feel like the water is tickling you?

Wow and crazy

Wow and one's rotation is right and another is left 8)

Black holes are similar. Instead of vacuuming water and air it vacuums space time

In the northern hemisphere, our whirlpools whirl in the opposite direction.

yeah. just like high and low pressure in meteorology counter each other. Other possibility they are curved under the water connected to each other kinda like half of a Toroidal Vortices, or a theoretical wormhole.

Yeah we had a little bit of rain last night...

Looks like a vampire bite XD

there might be a plug down there and thats a big muddy sink

as teh one turns clockwise it creats teh energy to turn the water around the other drain hole so they are kind of powering themselves in a way

As soon as that floodwater drains, we're going to find two tiny men holding straws at the bottom of where those whirlpools used to be.
