Gang,
Note that this is not a new discovery (but cool nonetheless). See for a
brief intro:
Cheers,

Good thinking Paul. I'll buy that explanation unless someone comes

If I try this with a non-turbulent argon stream (or N2 or O2 stream),
what
would be a good marker substance? Break open a july 4th smoke bomb? I
bet that stuff doesn't need O2.
Hmmm. What about a stream of extremely hot air from a nichrome wire?
The density might be low enough to make a difference. This gives me an
excuse to try the Schelerein trick with a superbright LED, telescope
mirror, and a little video camera.
