Happened to see this bit of info on the Discovery Channel on Sunday which kind of got stuck in my head. The show was called “Time Warped” which consists of a crew going around different places to camera high-speed action using equally high-speed video cameras.
The last segment had a brief physics simulation of the male urination process, or simul-pee if you like…
The set-up consists of a filled water tank and a thin rubber tube which acts as the urinary tract. Now if the urinary tract is suspended in free space, once the, uhh, “tap” is opened, the flow as expected is consistent and on-target. Basically “the spot marked X” has a direct hit every time.
