Water goes uphill

[lp2k11]

no the water goes down hill

[knucklessg1]

Its easy, you press rewind and record at the SAME TIME!!!

[radioactivewaffle1]

did anyone think that they just hit rewind on the video of it going dowhill

[kellythesinger]

bilectural trisiculation hydrosis

[wordreet]

Presumably it will loose momentum after it leaves the serrated area, and drop back again.

[logangamer]

FAKE! Its just a recording of water going downhill played backwards.

[Beaulahness]

@logangamer FAIL

[Jcontardo]

Obviously Photoshopped.

[amannvig]

@Jcontardo sound is used at a specific hertz nd other parameters. u dont know a bit of physics nd u are so assertive of the video being photoshopped

[Jcontardo]

@amannvig sad that you can't stand a joke. VERY sad.

[amannvig]

@Jcontardo DAMN , IM SORRY , feeling like a bean head. after seeing tons of rubbish comments , i seem to look every comment in a way they belong to the same category

[theoldstigster]

This is a heated plate and the water is floating on a layer of vapour/steam. It is the same effect you see if you drip water into a pan that has boiled dry on a hot plate cooker. The drops of water skate around like crazy. This is what is happening in the video but the saw-tooth surface is directing the water uphill.

It has been suggested for use in cooling microchips.

This video is not fake or tilted camera as a little research would have told all those so quick to cry foul.

[specter0922]

it may be in rewind but most likely not

[xxcrimxx]

If you watch, you will see a drip of water next to the big drop of water. It bounces. If you notice, it bounces left, instead of down. He just has the panel tilted and the camera tilted so it looks like up to us.

[colorfulemokid]

or maybe it rewind!!!

[k286]

Thats not water....its a clear caterpillar

[NexIuguolo]

Looks like the surface might be vibrating at a special frequency.

[Hydrophile44]

Let's see a video a of a girl, naked, in water, going uphill. Now that'd be worth watching, and it'd be a lot harder for you to fake.

[rhangatotoby]

there could be someone holding we up, moving her. and btw id suggest we use obama girl as the test subject.

[johnditmo]

i,m more interested at all the little bouncing water drops.

[hardwirecars]

or the camera is tilted at an angle and the plate is actually downhill

[leeoFaaneellii]

how about you make a video of a girl naked in water?

[ChristIsAlive1]

its probally a reversed video or its fake

[Abengoshis]

Perhaps the plates are vibrating extremely fast.

[Malloyard69]

i think tht i dnt giv a fuk

[deaftodd]

seems like the vibration had caused that angled steps to deflect the water to a certain direction.

[Johnsonss25]

or it could have been a blow drier because you can see some particals of water flying off

[deaftodd]

I thought of that but the water then would be more flattened.

[pranxter08]

no its made by computer technology i think its called cinema 4D

[54spiritedwill54]

That is beautiful

[Malloyard69]

ur a sad wanker get a life and look at fannys

[tidysham]

Ha ha well said (",)

[BlizzardT1]

heres something simular to this. u need a sock,running water froma faucet, and a comb. rub the comb on a sock and put it NEAR the running water. notice that the water slightly bends. cool for like 15secs then u get bored.

[patrickakapapoo]

hahha yeah it is fun for a lil while lol

[hobbes71002]

I'm not saying this isn't real or anything... but what are the chances that this video has simply been played in reverse?

[music1001001]

The falling and splashing drops of water pretty much prove its playing forward.

[magicfreak123]

Looks like ferromagnetic fluid LOL!!! With just a strong enough magnet you should be able to do it, water is magnetic (slightly)

[Larry119]

You'll need a high charged magentic ion to do that lol

[magicfreak123]

I stand corrected. You're right....I forgot about the fact that it has to be charged! How silly of my part! Thanks for the correction!

[funizamo]

looks like a bubble... probably is... but in principle this should be possible by applying a strong enough magnetic field (water is slightly polarized)

[jeffeaston]

im thinking you sent a vibration througt it and because of the shape of the spikes the water traveled uphill << just a guess

[YodaWannabEE]

wow

[jesterzjames]

i it is water going down hill but if you rewind it it goes up hill

[cookiethepuss]

Amazing!

[alaa992]

soooo stupid!!

this is a bubble of air inside a bottle

[phil4emz]

if it was, then shouldnt it rise to the top?

[GUSRULZ445]

No cause the camera is upside down

[phil4emz]

then surely, the bubble would move to the right? (the left if its upside down)

[maneaterxd]

slow motion cool

[legendinisZ]

noob

[splinter10989]

COOL WATERBENdING!!!!!!!!

[3ndre]

The table are vibrating ;D but yet.. AWSOME!

[BrettFromLA]

That was kind of cool, but what the hell was going on?

[catXXclaw]

im thinking the camera was just in rewind o.O

thats what it looked like to me atleast

[music1001001]

Look at the drops of water falling and splashing in the background.

[hobbes71002]

That's a god point. I still don't think it's real. I think it is a drop water moving down hill with the camera tilted...

[meistermeist]

looks like air is blowing it across the surface

[psykotrol]

hmmm looks like sound waves or vibration.

[specopps117]

and...

it did back in 19[insert decade here]

on the mississippi river

[ThePontifex]

This reminds me of Myazaki's "Spirited Away". For some reason I can't explain...

[silentbuttcrackplz]

water is a teen that can do whatever it wants no matter what it's parents say

[threecundies]

This really works. The surface has to be at a very high temperature so that the outer surface of the droplet vaporizes before contact. On the surface, the droplet lies on a cushion of vapour. The spiked surface allows some of the vapour to escape and propels the droplet forwards until the next spike when the effect is repeated. The droplet is ratcheted up the surface.

[PiNkLoLiPoPs]

it looks like a different colored flubber

[HalfPastNoonan]

Have any of you seen The Abyss?

[BongOfCthulhu]

yea, its called salvia

[HalfPastNoonan]

No I mean this water reminds me of the creature in the movie, "The Abyss".

[BongOfCthulhu]

oh yea i remember that one. when they are in the cave?

[HalfPastNoonan]

I think they're in their undersea lab.

[Sky2yoshimura]

thats cool! and lol when i had to type in the letters on the image it said billion rofl (sorry if that was random) but anyway that looked really cool!

[Nichen]

That is beautiful

[buttfartmuhgee]

its water in a gel thingy, i got one for my grandma for christmas except usually the water or the gel is colored, in this case neither is colored

[sergi5122]

its a regular water....being in a gravity-less space...

[Stagg369]

its not the water moving it is the air bubble filmed upside down

[keneke45]

try again. then the bubble would be flat against the surface, instead of a parabola.

[lostinseganet]

So could people use this to make a river go uphill?

[topstriker]

(uuuuuu dot livescience dot com/environment/060329_water_u­phill.html)

it looks like camera trick but maybe not.. see the site.. it s possible

[red88guy]

i reckon its just the twisted camera angle that makes it look like its running upward

[deanintemp]

In actuality, this is a form of the Leidenfrost effect; the effect of water "hovering" over a very hot surface caused by the steam created directly below the droplet. This "saw blade" is very hot and creates a thin layer of steam just below the bottom surface of the water droplet. This steam wants to rise, thus pushing the droplet "uphill".  It has to do with the angle of the "teeth" and the force vectors created on the water droplet by the rising steam...very boring stuff!

[genoeghiervan]

yup, research done by some scientists to see if they can apply the Leidenfrost effect to let water move upwards. And as you can see, they did ^^

[the8bitwizard]

that's pretty cool. There is gravity there, you can see the water fill in the valleys on the ridged suface, but it might be some sort of heating/vibration effect. any ideas?

[Vondruke]

though it could be true, what proof is there that this is real?

[arielwollinger]

??

[s0berate]

film run backwards? :|

[goneutt]

I think I've read up on this... The saw tooth surface is vibrating at a frequency thats just right to push the blob up hill without tearing it to pieces. This is part of the kind of stuff I wanna see under science.

[lethalcentaur]

Leidenfrost effect

[Vondruke]

that's for liquid water on a heated surface at a particular tempature range.

[GiLligEN]

I think water can only be a liquid. Don't worry i say dumb things too. I like the theory.

[PolarChimp]

The term liquid water is right though. Water in solid form is ice and water in gas form is steam. I think that they were clarifying what were seeing

[OtomaBinHaden]

smoke and mirrors, but really cool anyway

[g7997g]

It's likely to be invisible gnomes wearing invisible tophats.

[bellsystem]

I knew it!

[vinc1992]

vacuum???

no gravitational pull of the earth?

[norriz606]

upside down isnt it?

[beecrofty]

freakin' WACKED!
