I thought it was fascinating how the dye markers "unwound"
back to their original spots.

Gotta admit, I didn't expect that at first.

This being the internet, I didn't entirely believe it.

Believe it. I've seen it a number of times.

It's a simple and inexpensive enough demonstration to duplicate if you have
any interest, and it certainly helps to demonstrate why laminar flow causes
less drag--mixing does not provide any usable lift.

We did a very similar demo in at my high school open house... about 50
years ago.
