Always a challenge to do things on the cheap.
No problem once you have worked out a reasonable gap between the contacts for the effect you want. Larger the gap within the boundarys of the wave height the greater the delay. Trigger is guaranteed to trip the flash.
Two more from yesterday. I started by testing with a Trebor mint dropped into a glass. This was when I discovered that although water conducts electricity it is not good enough to trigger the flash. Staying with the glass I then tried the foil float. Problem for me was trying to get the contact gap right in the confines of a glass. Eyes are not what they were. So I moved onto a larger bowl.
Pic 2 is the result of too greater contact gap, so too great a delay. This was because I did not top up the water from a previous failed attempt when I forgot to connect one of the flash terminals. You can see the waves created by the cube though.
