"Do Try This @ Home 2010" - Episode 4 - "Dancing Drops"

At around 300 degrees Fahrenheit a phenomenon in which a liquid, at close contact with a mass significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, rides upon an insulating vapor layer which keeps that liquid from boiling and evaporating. What is this strange phenomenon? The "Leidenfrost effect" of course, and with Mr. G at the helm it's also a lot of fun!

@MapleStorylova12345

The formula for procreation does not include marriage as a variable.

hey, I have got 3 questions.

1. will this work with a non stick pan?

2. what would happen if you touch the big drop

3. how big could you make the bubble?

[Mindpaint]

@randomliam95 Yes it should work. I don't know, but you might get burned! The size of the bubble depends on the pan material. The bubble I made is fairly large.

Thanks,

-- Mr. G
