Spinning Water Droplets That Seemingly Defy Physics | ScienceTake

Chinese researchers have discovered a new way to make water droplets spin, creating a potential new kind of hydropower.

ScienceTake and OutThere is the most underrated series NYT have made that are still relevant. Keep it up

[@levimachado7049]

This was oddly satisfying. 😎

[@skimaskj999]

Thats all you understood from this video?

[@michael2351]

Most legit series on RUclips today

[@ericpham8205]

Sound does induce inanimate object motion specially elastic things like water rubber or voltage sensitive metal

[@TobyCowles]

so it isn't really defying physics it is just caused by differences in attraction due to the pattern on the surface.

[@JardsonJean]

*seemingly

[@visteobman4202]

Conservation of momentum and energy has not been defied.

[@jaindoh]

"seemingly"

[@Markus-8Muireg]

Wait, so no one broke the laws of physics? Lame

[@lifeispreciousliveit]

Nice!

[@barwryofficials6271]

So video quality

[@madelinereid365]

I honestly will never use this information

[@nostalgia1036]

i might pick something like this for my final year undergrad project.

[@LorcanG]

What if you where stuck on desert island and to harvest energy with only a magnetic sticky pad

[@GratiaCountryman]

It’s still fun to know.

[@degueb]

It's hardly a conversation starter, but i'd rather know this than what kim kardashian is doing,

[@RoZyk007]

That last one pattern before titles was interesting

[@carterstanley397]

If this isn’t the most satisfying video ever idk what it

[@consciousthought4820]

Wow interesting 🥶

[@coquio]

When he says Chinese scientists, I here tiny scientists

[@jacobgaitan4159]

Who are these (tiny science ) 0:14

[@AnkhAnanku]

Just my luck, all these years studying smol science when tiny science is where it’s at

[@jakmanxyom]

Aw, they discontinued the series...that's pretty sad. :( (The series was one of the reasons I subscribed in the first place...)

[@poodlesrock6552]

The water drops on my car Windows act strangely. Always wondered this phenomen at traffick lights!

[@archaicgoon5990]

I think water could manipulate flight along with vibrations.

[@news2hedz227]

Jeez...the Chinese are becoming tech leaders. 😨

[@user-bz6fp1uy1v]

Get make transparently on this channel

[@susanne5803]

The droplets defy expectations maybe, but not physics. - How much energy has to be put into the system to have water continuously falling straight downward to set something in motion that could win energy? It would only make sense if the energy for the downward motion came from sun, wind or waterfall. - An interesting question is: Could waterdroplets shot straight in zero gravity set something in motion with this method that couldn't be set into motion otherwise?

[@SolaceEasy]

This is not a perpetual motion machine. There is no way to harvest energy from the system that is not given to it from the physical objects involved. Lunacy. I wonder if this guy is their science editor.

[@cacetao53]

He didn't say it's creating power alone, of course you would need something like a rain to make that work

[@Cyberspine]

Rain is a thing.

[@richardhoepfner1633]

Thank you Harold Edgerton
Edgerton invented stop-action, high-speed photography.

[@williamh.gatesiii8183]

Then it's not defying physics

[@anonymousstormchaser]

Key word "seemingly"

[@bgoumas]

So it defies an outdated perspective on physics is what you’re saying

[@AnkhAnanku]

hey, newton isn’t outdated, just incomplete F/
