How to Make Water Bounce

Using a high-speed camera setup in the lab, GE scientists captured details of water droplets dancing on amazing superhydrophobic surfaces developed in GE Global Research's Nanotechnology lab. For more information and videos, visit GE's technology blog at www.grcblog.com

This isn't "How to Make Water Bounce". This IS water bouncing. If it were how to make water bounce, we'd get instructions on how to do it.

Words mean things for a reason.

Copy & paste then send this to 3 other videos and nothing will happened! I did it twice and it worked!

Go to portabella road in London this Chinese woman sells these mini balls add water and wait then they grow big and bouncy :) I have then downstairs

You didt show us how to bounce it gay ass video

[Number1Assasin24]

U didn't show us how to make it bounce so this wasGAY!!!!!!!!!

"...when dropped on a hydrophobic surface". So you agree that you have to "do" something to make this occur. Just like you have to drop a ball to make it bounce. What would you expect in a video called "How to Make a Ball Bounce"? Would you only expect a high-speed close up ball's bounce?

You can pay attention to words all you like, but knowing what to do with them is a different matter.

Also, in case this hasn't come up, nature is rad! The video itself is fantastic.

@theblasto check out the Caltech site on youtube.com: "Water Droplet Bouncing on a Superhydrophobic Carbbon Nanotube Array"...they have a better grasp of our language than GE

the surface tension of the water keep the droplets intact.. i guess..

[biw1]

the surface is just extremley hot and air olds the water up

The first bounce looks unnatural.

@hopper2698 actually, its because of the difficulty rabid animals have swallowing water. they aren't actually afraid of it.
