Lotus Coating with Nano Glass

[tomer10peri]

Look for NTSI NANOTECHNOLOGT on you tube!!! cool

[GavinStrnad]

liquid terminator 

[serebniti]

кто с хабра палец вверх!!)

[grekaleks]

OMG its a beyblade!

[GauntletsofRai]

i fucking love science

[RedMok25]

It's the water not the dish. I see the trick.

[TheRubyShoesMusic]

wonder how fast you would die if this coated the inside of you....

[knightky007]

this is my 1000th times watching this vid. never get sick of it..bcos i love hydrophobic coatings.... i am going to make one to get optical transmittance..!!! cool vid ..thx for posting!!

[lana105]

if you get it on your hands,does that mean it doesnt wash off?

[dkoribag1]

@lana105 it wears off

[blckjade05]

@dkoribag1 what is the life span of the material that makes it hydrophobic? are there any other substances that last a long time, like years?

[alexrascon1]

QUICK! SOMEONE CREATE PONG WITH THAT!!!!

[didIyllacinhceT]

Oh my god. Having to do no more dishes would make my life.

[webaward]

its like yar grandmas pussy! it doesnt get wet...

[Supermike6]

I could play air hockey with that!

[ToxicWaves]

No more dishwashing with nano-coating but you would have to chase the soup in the plate in order to eat it :)

[A1IR]

@ToxicWaves You drink soup from a plate?

[ToxicWaves]

@A1IR Definition of SOUP PLATE

: a deep plate usualy having a wide rim and used for serving soup

[iNicky777]

PURE AWESOMENESS *_*

[loayzc10]

VSAUCE!

[vTheDarknessv]

they should out this all over cars and everything else that needs to be waterproof

[axelasdf]

PUT IT ON WINDSHIELDS ALREADY.

[Saymite]

@axelasdf TRUE

[TheChorobi]

I think you can do it on a hot metal surface.I think it was the leidenfrost effect?

[snowypetrel]

Freeze those and become an ice ball king!

[MrFallout396]

it looks like a mercury-water hybrid!!! lol

[TheHumanwirtschaft]

Very nice idea. If i wanna buy anything of glass, i do it on bavaria-glas.de

[aaron4820]

why is it that car windows on youtube that claims to be using this technology looks so underwhelming? it's doing nothing like what's shown here.

[sac78008]

What would this do to drag due to skin friction if applied to a boat hull? Would it keep barnacles off of the boat too?

[gioprivatemove]

very nice and beautiful. I wonder if this coating can be applied to car surfaces...

Give me some info if you sell it in the market.

Thanks...

[Lokivoid]

@gioprivatemove

You could but i wouldnt suggest it, under the asumption that this is trimethylsilanol (which will grind down clear coat used on automotive paint fairly fast). Might doable you managed to make silanol clear coat mix though.

[greeneyedgeek]

it looks like the behaviour of mercury

[d1e6om]

I would coat tubing insides to reduce friction losses...

[ZoomBoomBang1]

Im going to try some wax, and see what's happens

[FelipeZucchetti]

Hey, check my channel...i have some experiments with lens and light there...:)

[FelipeZucchetti]

Really good experiment...

[SatansLott]

We need something like this in New Orleans...

[safeproducten]

Is it also possible to add a filler to remove small scratches in the glass??

[faight3r]

that is fun

[faight3r]

what is fun!

[MarcLT1]

Nano Technology Grass, they was a childrens experiment kit somewhere

[0SmooK0]

If a potato would be coated with that stuff, then eating it would cause acid in stomach to repel or something, therefore, if it went trou your body, you would shit clean nanopotatos instead of shit...xD

[JamesBlitz]

can i put that on my car?

[Madmann135]

I am wondering what would happen if someone coated a car's windows with this stuff. Reduced need for wind shield wipers?

[0SmooK0]

@Madmann135 /watch?v=96iMj5NSyyY&feature=r­elated see for yourself

[scifiguy32]

@Madmann135 they alredy did it you still need wipers for dirt. also they made it into a japanese toy that is like those games where you try to put the metal balls in small holes.

[michalchik]

Why a glass nanocoating? Why no a hydrophobic substance non-dispersed?

[d4dextermetal]

Hi,

I ordered the Aerosil 9200 from Evonik and I am wondering how you coated it on glass. I tried Isopropanol but the results were not as good. Is there any other solvent I should try? Some solvent that stays on the material would be better in my opinion but I am not sure what that will be. I will try gasoline next.

Thanks

[manf1234]

@d4dextermetal The tube for mixing the powder should be clean, especially cleaned from remaining dried glass power of an earlier mixing process. The power was added slowly in a fine distribution to the gasoline. I used a test tube and a stirrer at about 600 rpm but I am not sure it was necessary I just used it as it was there.

[SmokeyCough]

like mercury, great video :)

[nicxtrem21]

What happenw hen you touch it?

[MrNiceGuy114]

It's Hydriphob, but it is also Lipophil, isn't it? :D

If so, than I won't bet that there will be no more dishwashing :D

[TermsOfGameplay]

where do i buy nanoglas and how much does it cost

[Joe11Blue]

How well does it hold up? Is it possible to be used in a high temp environment? How well does it resist solvent's like gasoline once it's been applied?Imagine the effect this would have with modern engines if it's able to survive in the environment of the intake manifold and the intake port's.

[sebastiansz]

reminds me forming of the T-1000 from Terminator 2 :D

[animeano]

nice idea for dishes but maybe its too expensive?

[smithslastoption]

Now, how do you wash it off?

[xvlGRLMGRLNlvx]

How much does it cost? It would be so great if it was affordable enough to just put on your tires. Think about how many lives we'd save due to better control of our vehicles while it rains or while it snows... Thumbs up if you think this is a great idea to take into consideration

[xvlGRLMGRLNlvx]

It's not that impressive.... It's obviously just a normal Ditto that hasn't evolved into a different Pokemon yet.

[Draxis32]

No more dishwashing, well that wouldn't be possible cause as soon as any organical compound touch the superhydrophobic layer it would just stick to that, unless you could combine the layer with some sort of protector like teflon.

[frankensteinmoneymac]

Very cool...especially moving it around with the charged plastic rod. Is that nano glass powder cheap to buy? I might want to replicate this experiement.

[super6plx]

this is so cool

is there any way you could do this at home? and is it permanent? like could you do this to a pan and reverse it later on?

[falafel1995]

IT'S SCIENCE MOTHERFUCKERS!

[mrjiggyflyyy]

how do you get that "stuff", and what is it called?

lotus coating? or Hydrophobic?

[karozans]

@mrjiggyflyyy I think you should be able to accomplish the same thing with Rain-X found at any automotive car parts dealer like Checker or Autozone. As for what this guy used I am not sure.

[marino4691]

this is awesome :)

[silverapple127]

that so cool!

[soulscythe666]

Would this work the same with an oil as with water?

[falcon731boy]

wow! how does the moving water droplet with charged stick work?

[halo41293]

FLUBBER!!!

[nimbeljack]

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE

[coolala86]

Thats a great...this simple super hydrophobic coating theory helping me to have some idea to solve my current problem... THX. (^O^)

[cybernetics]

Do you have a tracklist for which songs you used in this video?

[Pandabearmadness]

i wish they put a ant in the water that be cool to see

[CapitanoGUC]

can i buy a nano bodycreme, so tha i don´´t hav to wash myself anymore ????

[joeynuggetz]

Wow, look at all the hungry consumers that cant wait to buy this shit. I bet people wont think twice about the health risks of this once they start putting it on frying pans. I'm concerned that this stuff causes cancer. Don't be dumb people. This is brand new stuff and we don't know the effect it has on the human body. Just like DuPont non-stick cookware. That stuff heated to a certain point has killed people's pet birds and once its in your system, its in there forever.

[gabort71]

@joeynuggetz You should also stay away from Teflon coated dishes. Hell, no! Stay away from fire too, it burns!

Of course, if this stuff were to accumulate in the gut, forget about absorption, and who knows what else it could do. There is a reason why things are tested before they are certified food-safe. Even if this does not make it to the dinner table, it can have a huge effect from paint to windows to any number of other applications where you do not want liquid to smear.

[agetube83]

This is used alot on spectacle lenses these days.

most good spectacle multicoats include a decent hyrdophobic layer in them.

[Dilekz]

Were can you buy this coating? Or isn't it available yet?

[dankis007]

even coatings for speed boats, engine propellers, surf board under coating, wind surfing, snowboard wax.... its endless!!!

[dankis007]

Amazing,

Im thinking coatings, for insides of water supply lines at a municiple level. Its reduced loading on the whole system.

High efficiency system driven by low voltage charged side walled pvc piping- eliminate pumping stations, localised control...... system could be controlled by intermittent solar stations generating in DC....

[alekkthewolf]

I've seen similar things to this nano glass coating. Extremely interesting stuff. Imagine coating cars with this stuff. :D Permanent wax.

[dexchan]

pretty awesome :D

it would be cool to show a vid of a pan or

pot of water with this coating being boiled ._o

[Swiiden]

So beautiful <3

[lurchusminimus]

That's great. I can see many great applications for this tech.

[mochiam]

That's the right question!!!

[gravitymindofgod]

Comming soon, transport technologies in plasma, and Artificial womb you don't even need a vessel, freaky.

[BlueEyedCelt]

This is intriguingly wonderful to watch...

[awesker0]

interesting, thanks for uploading.

[guboy1]

"No dishwasher with nano coated dishes"? I have a hard enough time getting the last bit of apple sauce with my pork chop

[detectiveinspekta]

Hope they can put that stuff on clothing.

[joshfaz]

hahaha got a love a scientific video that uses the word 'wetted'

[jaymcd84]

it looks like mercury!

[jaymcd84]

awesome

[earthbenderzore15]

awesome..that'll make water proof electronics one day.

[PrinzKassad929]

i know it has to do with the surface structure but wouldnt it get destroyed if you would touch it?

[editthlh]

which is the solvent used?

In general, Which are the reactants???

[manf1234]

as mentioned below:

- different fluids like gasoline or alcohol.

- Aerosil, Hydrophobic Fumed Silicas,

[gamersorbit1990]

The food would slide off -.-

[Billycheezit]

now all water on a non-hydrophobic surface is boring to me :(

[shaints]

I like your idea of vanishing dishwashing. :-P

[jokergallagher62083]

reminds me of the game murcury

[iMakeMoneyOnlinee]

That is awesome, I'd have lots of fun playing around with that, and ferrofluid.

[persiano1962]

What is the solvent used?

[coilgunman]

with vaporized glass works?

[XenoRacing]

omfg thas so cool!

[IPSipsn]

really cool ... 5*

[alienfast]

That's sweet. Water on a hydrophobic surface looks similar to mercury.

[Cforchemistry]

What kind of solvent did you use?thanks.

[manf1234]

as mentioned below:

different fluids like gasoline or alcohol.

[Cforchemistry]

I see, and I am wondering if the extract of lotus may produce similar result if coated on glass?

[goobectomy]

@manf1234 Maybe instead of asking what KIND of solvent ....we should ask WHAT SOLVENT WORKED BEST? Please don't say "as mentioned below different fluids". For one task you only use one solvent. So mr. manf1234, WHICH SOLVENT DID YOU USE FOR THIS VIDEO?

[manf1234]

@goobectomy Pentane

[Conn1979]

I'd like to order the commercial powder but Evonik has so many products. Could you give me the name of the product please?

[manf1234]

Aerosil, Hydrophobic Fumed Silicas,

Better ask Evonik for the best fit for your need.

[desu38]

This would be grate for glasses if it was fully transparent. Then I could see in the rain.

[manf1234]

That is why I wrote "Experimental Lotus Coating". Professional coating can achieve much better transparency.

[zxZXGamer23XZxz]

i played with water with the same effect shown in the vid on a cooking metal pot,heated.but it only lasts a while.

[Collective122]

This is actually a good example of a form a liquefied metal. liquid metal anyone?

[Su30m]

yes, I want no more dishwashing )

[khaninator]

Well, I'm not sure grease would react in the same way though.

[AgentCROCODILE]

This would be awesome for things like helmet visors - on a wet day it would make life a lot easier.

[AgentCROCODILE]

Is nano glass powder transparent when applied? If so that would be even better.

[Kaez91]

this would be great for paintball masks, one question though? does it only work water? or can it do the same to any liquid? like paint...

[darthspeaks]

I am smelling a Car Wars player here...

[Kaez91]

Wtf is car wars?

[darthspeaks]

My mistake - I thought you were a friend of mine commenting. In a board game called Car Wars (circa mid - 1980s) you control a car against another car and one of the weapons on the game is a paint shooter.

[Kaez91]

LOLZ kk..

[QuaillMan]

Coat torpedoes, boats, and submarines with this stuff and see what happens.

[LZAce]

i remembered flubber auhahuaha

[CrappycrapCrappy]

awesomeness

[TheRealVerbz]

:o)

Where can I buy stock in this company?

Everything will be coated with this product.

Everything.

[theblasto]

Like dish towels? I want a set of those.

[dnvlgm1]

wow that's cool, I was thinking is this due to some polarization of the powder nanostructure? What kind of nanostructure is it, because I would think if you increase the temperature there might appear some sort of excitonic modes that might have some dipole-dipole interaction with the water molecules and the repelling property of the powder might decay, but who knows.

[ReielSC]

Maybe if the stuff was super-heated, the coating would start breaking up anyways?

[dnvlgm1]

that too

[chak1126]

can u tell me wts the chemical u use?

[CaptainHJ]

imagine a wet-suit with lotus coating on it, I wonder if you could pass through water easier or faster.

[GenerationDarkness]

man imagine a future with lotus coating rain suits! =D

[ophir089]

can i do this at home?

[000DNJ]

No one was talking about the government but, since you brought it up, they're both terrible.

[johnesco]

I love the caption re: "no more dishwashing", but really, do we know much about toxicity yet?

[manf1234]

as mentioned below:

The glass powder is produced by Evonik (Degussa). ...

[weikeatng]

can i ask what is the solvent you using?Will the nano glass powder still stick on the surface even after the solvent is evaporated?

[manf1234]

For the solvent I used different fluids like gasoline or alcohol. The powder sticks to the surface but just for the test. For a better fixing please ask suppliers for products.

[craigdatiga]

Why dont we use something like this to power cars??? Like, lets say a car thats suspended on a big drop of water, use a stationary electrical feild to induce propulsion... Fucking oil companies will never end their money scemes.

[colorent]

Dear Sir , i am really interested in this product , can you send me sample ?

Can we apply this powder on food grade plastics and glass bottle ? can we apply this on ceramic basins ? what happens when it is washed with soap soln ? regards

[esq85]

im not a scientist or anything , but wouldt rain-x do the same thing. ??

[johnesco]

Why don't you go buy some rain-x, spread it in a dish and compare for yourself? It would make an awesome video if you posted it.

[stradric]

I notice that it makes the glass foggy. So I guess we won't be seeing this technology applied to windshields anytime soon... Very cool stuff though.

[Ogaitnas900]

How long does the coating last?

[manf1234]

I heard the coating on bathroom tiles is renewed about once a year.

The coating with which I made experiments was not a commercial one.

[Ogaitnas900]

Thanks for the quick answer :)

[horsegalri]

fyi this also works with potroleum jelly

[SelfCleaningSolution]

Excellent video, Are you using Pure Water in the Experiment? Just wondered about the effects of normal tap water?

[manf1234]

The water shown in the film is ordinary tap water.

As long as it doesn't dry out on the surface there will be not much difference to pure water.

[RamenNoodles22]

imagine trying to eat soup out of something like that!! and if your spoon was coated too it wud be great!!

[manf1234]

It will require a calm hand and you also have to avoid static electicity near the table.

:o)

[pspjunkie777]

this is sooo cool man! where can i get this powder?

[thedarkangelloverock]

This is really cool... But about that comment with coated dishes... The water-based food will run into your dish :) That would be odd :)) Great video and interesting experiment!

[memeome]

Great!! Could you try to move little droplets with a magnet?. Is is possible to buy this nano Glass?

[manf1234]

Yes, I have an example where a drop is moved with a magnet. It is a really small force. It is in the film: "Water drops moved on a lotus surface".

The glass powder is produced by Evonik (Degussa). I am not sure in what quantities they sell it.
