Liquid mercury is rotated in experiments primarily by using electric current and magnetic fields, creating a Lorentz force that pushes the conductive liquid in a circular motion, often seen in DIY setups using magnets, conductors (like aluminum wheels or screws), and a DC power source, making it spin rapidly in a vortex.
