Fuck Yeah Fluid Dynamics

This simple demonstration shows the power of surface tension, especially at small lengthscales. Another way to break the surface tension holding the water in the sieve would be to spray the top of the jar with soapy water. The soap acts as surfactant, decreasing the surface tension such that the water is unable to counteract the force of gravity.
