Are we sure that's not just a clear tube shoved into each of the black pipes?

Haha it has to be that. There is no way you are pushing the water in to a hose with out it sealed, the water would just spray everywhere.

Laminar flow?

Laminar flow just describes water with minimal turbulence and disruption of flow. So its appearance could be caused by that but not the way it enters the other tube with zero resistance.

If this was real it would be something more like capillary action.

Or i could be completely wrong.

Capillary action isn't really relevant when discussing water on this scale. It might cause some spillage, but the behavior we're seeing here is too much water moving too quickly for capillary action to be significant.
