"When exposed to a high-voltage electric field, water in two beakers
climbs out of the beakers and crosses empty space to meet, forming the
water bridge. The liquid bridge, hovering in space, appears to the
human eye to defy gravity."

In a strong electrical field water dipoles are ordered in such a way
that thermal agitation of molecules causes a SPECIFIC PRESSURE inside
the liquid. In certain experiments this specific pressure can lift
water: the energy needed for lifting is in fact heat absorbed from the
surroundings. If lifted water is allowed to leave the field (for
instance, when water has been lifted between the plates of a
capacitor, the specific pressure could push it through a hole in one
of the plates), the liquid will form, ideally, an eternal waterfall
outside the strong field. Perhaps the device cannot be of any
practical use as a heat engine but still it violates the second law of
thermodynamics.
