Coriolis Force - Q19: Compton Generator

A Compton generator or Compton tube is an experiment to demonstrate the Earth's rotation, similar to the Foucault pendulum and to gyroscope devices. The driving force for this experiment is the Coriolis force. A Compton generator is a circular hollow ring tube shaped like a doughnut, the inside of which is filled with water. Suppose the tube lies flat on the table. In that case, the water in the ring is stationary, and it is then turned over by rotating itself 180 degrees around a diameter, such that it again lies flat on the table surface, which is horizontal. The result of the experiment is that the water moves with a certain constant drift velocity around the tube after the doughnut has been rotated. If there were no friction with the walls, the water would continue to circulate indefinitely.
