I thought this was an excellent example of how rockets work within and out of the atmosphere. Go ahead, legba, post the debate that something about the water mains discounts this experiment. It's not hard to tell the relation between the water and the expelling, burnt fuel. Thank you sokarul for finding this wonderful example.

Again, credit for finding this vid goes to sokarul
The atmospheric pressure has already done its job before the hand has any effect. Notice how the shower tap rises - but also note how the devious person grabs the tap and lifts it at first as he turns it on. A classic con job and do you know what?...you people are sickening for going along with it.
If your argument is that his hand lifts the hose, then what happens when he slowly turns the water off and the hose slowly drops down in relation to the flow of water? At least legba put some thought into it by saying that it's the pressure of the water holding the hose up, which could have an effect on the experiment, but it is not the sole reason for the 'floating' hose. If you turned the water pressure wayy up the hose would spray out of control and wave around like crazy. It would not make the hose extend perfectly straight or to it's 'stretch limits' and become rigid like legba is implying.
Also, legba, what happened to your debate about the water mains? falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus, me thinks
Of course it's the pressure of the water holding the hose up. What do you think causes water pressure and what do you think water pressure pushes against for this to happen.
Seriously you are so naive it's beyond silly.
This is an excellent example of why my time spent here is a waste. Thank you for making that evident sceptimatic. It really does make me sad. I won't lie. Why would people spend so much of their time twisting and turning the truth? Really, what do you gain? I can tell you what all of mankind loses through your posts: scientific progress. Though, it may not touch or effect many people, it is still regression, and it is hindering people like myself to make a positive difference in the world (I could rationalize it by saying that I am making a positive difference by cancelling out your nonsense, but you probably wouldn't understand that). If you were not here making this regression, I would not have to counter it. Therefore, I could spend my time in places where it would truly be appreciated, giving me more motivation to be the person that I want to be. I'm starting to come to the conclusion that many of you have never had a father figure in your life, and this is the only way for you to get attention from cognitive, respectable males. Let me let you in on a little secret. If you did something to gain my respect- I would treat you much better than I do now. We could even be friends, but no. You've chosen the path of destruction. It really is very sad, and I feel for you deeply. I need to put my irrational beliefs aside (that you could show a logical understanding of physics and the world around you), and think rationally. Myself and others have explained it in analogies, experiments, and "in Science" (as legba likes to call it) multiple times over almost 70 pages now, and you continue to do whatever it is that you're doing (hence my conclusion that you only want attention). So, I will note that I have done what I can and there is nothing I can do to change your ways. Go ahead, legba, tell everyone I am retreating as if someone giving up on you is a good thing.
