BOAC,
Didn't say it would work, just said, for the reasons stated, that because the water didn't move in Bob Hoovers glass, didn't mean that it wouldn't move in anyone else's
Whether it could then be measurable is another thing, hence my (tongue in cheek) sugestion that someone give it a go with the hood and safety pilot and then put the result on youtube....and then there would be no more discussions required..
At the same time, perhaps the experiment could also include putting a cat on the glareshield
