Hi Joan & All, Jan 23, 2007
The Coriolis effect is limited to movement in relatively large
systems so I would not expect any change in direction.
I tried to start it first thing this morning (cold pot & brisk fire)
and it worked like a charm. So large rate of heating of the pot or
contents is necessary (it is not possible to build a brisk fire after a
bed of hot coals has been produced). Perhaps convection drives the
oscillation, because convective flow would be biased slightly to the
high side of the pot.
