What is the Coriolis effect?

Well, it's really taken from Coriolis' 1835, uh, manus- manuscript on the rotation, um, of, on the motion of rotating bodies, uh, that Coriolis wrote.

He had another article that was published in 1832, but this goes further.

His article is an attempt to, um, say that Newton's second law of, uh, motion, which is F=MA, which force equals mass times acceleration, was not sufficient to, um, account for the rotation of, um, for the movement of rotating bodies.

Now, by, by rotating bodies at that time, he was talking about machinery.

He wasn't really even talking about water wheels.

People, some people said he was, but he was talking about machinery like an axis of, of some kind of a plane, P-L-A-N-E, um, rotating object that's part of a machine making some kind of whatever, um, you know, creating or whatever they were making in the 1800s.

Can you go and explain that a little bit more in depth?
