TL;DR
Anyone seen a video about it?
Just yesterday evening I saw a video of a few minutes where metal disks with holes in them were let fall into a basin of water.The water went up in twisted columns and made the most astounding and beautiful patterns. I thought I would show it to other people who might be interested - but I have forgotten where I saw it! I thought it was on this site, but I can't find it. The only other possible place would have been by chance on YouTube.

Has anybody seen it, by any chance?

I saw it just recently. That kind of stuff comes up on my Facebook feed regularly.
Can't remember what the group was called.
Google combinations of 'slow motion water drop disc' videos.
