You can do something like that without the oscillator and speaker by just wiggling a hose, not as consistent maybe but you could sort of duplicate the effects.
The cameras frame rate is synced to that of the vibration of the water nozzle. (24fps and 24Hz)
Originally posted by sonhouseWithout a synced frame rate, you will see an oscillating wave - although at 24Hz it might just look like a spray of water. To get the standing wave effect you have to sync the frame rate with the vibrations. By adjusting the two, you can also make the waves appear to go upwards which is something that is impossible to achieve solely via wiggling - this is similar to the effect of wheels appearing to go backwards on a car when filmed at certain frame rates.

If you put your hand through the gaps where there appears to be no water, you would get wet.

One thing I did notice, at 2 mins, or there abouts, when they say 'reverse' at 23Hz, if you look closely the water is coming OFF the floor and back up, which simply is reverse motion video, is it not?
So the 23hz, IMHO goes out t ...[text shortened]... es themselves are confused at that frequency, and do follow a curved frequency of travel?

Its an optical illusion, the video is not being played in reverse.

No, its entirely an optical illusion.[/b]
