I went to check on my beer this morning an saw this odd behavior from my 3-piece airlock.  The center piece was spinning like a top.  I think it was caused by the vibration of the air conditioner.

Funny. I can't imagine what else would do that besides vibration.

Is that airlock snug in there? If I were using that setup, there would be a #2 stopper between the airlock and lid. Just my 2¢.

Yeah, it's snug. I just drilled a hole slightly smaller than the airlock stem and jammed it in. No leaks.

Looks like the spinning is in sync with what a bubble would be.

That reminds me of the attic vents on the top of my house. Let me see if I can find a google image: Roof-Top-Wind-Turbine-9539.jpghttps://cimg1.ibsrv....urbine-9539.jpg

That's crazy.  I have no idea what would cause that would spin like that.
