He never mentioned why the Coils seem to initiate movement in the counter-clockwise direction . If it a global/hemispherical influence (N. or S.) . or other reason ?

Made me want some honey.. If it only tasted as good as it looks though. It was cool, the shower thing was hilarious.

This video is awesome.

It's called the coriolis effect, and that wasn't the phenomenon with which the video was concerned.

It would be of great interest to recreate the experiment with a thickly reduced simple syrup of Spin-D. Quick, someone fetch Dr. Frank his lab goggles and white coat!
