    Fill up the glass until the water makes a very slight convex bubble over the top due to surface tension. The edges are then lower then the centre.

    • @MateusHokari
      @MateusHokari 6 лет назад +1

      MadSpacePig Or use a liquid that has a bigger intermolecular force, if the van der walls forces are stronger than the contact with the glass it will also form a bubble

    Fill the glass with other corks and then put it in the center

  • @nerdwiththehat
    @nerdwiththehat 6 лет назад +3

    You answer - fill the glass alllllllll the way up to the top, until the surface tension is holding the water a bit above the rim of the glass. That'll make the sides stay down towards the glass, raising the middle, allowing you to float the cork in the middle.

  • @Berotej
    @Berotej 6 лет назад +4

    Adding dishsoap to the water eliminates surface tension. This way the water wouldn't stick to the rim and the convex shape is gone. The Kork stays in the middle when you place it there.

    How did I go from watching videos on skateboarding, to this? Somehow... I actually enjoy it 😂

  • @_mels_
    @_mels_ 6 лет назад +2

    Well the answer to this problem is easy. Get a smaller cup.
    So the water that used to fill the first cup half-way fills this new cup to the brim and a bit more. Water still sticks, or adheres, to the glass, and when there's just a bit more water than the glass can hold the excess forms a "bulge" in the centre as the edges stick to the glass. That way cork will float to the centre as that is the highest point now.
    (To be honest I knew the answer already, but still thought I'd post it because why not.)

  • @GRBtutorials

    With soap or detergent. They have surfactants that lower water’s surface tension, so the water won’t climb at the sides of the glass.

  • @josiethecatlover

  • @Skip6235
    @Skip6235 6 лет назад

    My hypothesis: You could get the cork to float in the middle by filling the glass past the rim. The surface tension will allow you to keep adding water past the top of the glass, and it will create a dome of water where the cork will float at the very top (if placed extremely carefully). I'm going to experiment when I get home

  • @Giftedbryan
    @Giftedbryan 6 лет назад

    You can make the cork float at the middle of the glass by floating it in milk which has a higher surface tension, making it form a bubble. The cork will then flow at the top/middle.

  • @elijahwhiting5045
    @elijahwhiting5045 6 лет назад +4

    Freeze the water and place it in the center duh

  • @backstept
    @backstept 6 лет назад

    To get the cork to float in the middle you can fill the glass to the absolute top so that surface tension makes the surface of the water slightly higher than the edge.

  • @giorgigogashvili2549
    @giorgigogashvili2549 6 лет назад

    To get the cork to float in the middle is to line the inner walls with water repellent substance (e.g. vaseline), that way the water will not "stick" to the walls and take a convex shape.

  • @lairdf
    @lairdf 6 лет назад +1

    awesome work! Nice glass. Fill your glass with oil, to make the cork float in the middle. (perhaps?)

  • @SeanBZA
    @SeanBZA 6 лет назад

    Coat the glass inside with wax or grease, which is hydrophobic. This then makes the meniscus turn down, and the cork floats in the centre.

  • @Brudenasbro
    @Brudenasbro 6 лет назад

    to make the cork float in the middle add water to the glass with the cork still in it until the water overfills the glass and forms a convex shape due to surface tension

  • @milesjando-saul1326
    @milesjando-saul1326 6 лет назад

    Easy: I discovered the answer to this one by floating balls of was covered clay in a tea candle full of water. You just have to fill it up past the rim so the same grippiness makes the water bulge out. Thus the highest point is in the middle.

  • @ojtheaviator1795
    @ojtheaviator1795 6 лет назад

    I'm sure this has been answered, but you fill the glass until the water is just slightly above the rim, with surface tension making a sort of extremely flattened dome shape. At this point, the highest point on the water is in the center.

  • @maccrazy7335
    @maccrazy7335 6 лет назад

    Might not be the most practical solution to the floating in the middle problem but you could either coat the inside of the glass with Teflon or you could use mercury instead of water. Maybe some dishwashing fluid would do the trick, too. Or petrol?

  • @MartinATL
    @MartinATL 6 лет назад

    I'm really impressed for your first try! Good job! :)

  • @aeislugh
    @aeislugh 6 лет назад

    my guess on how to get the cork to float in the middle is to fill the glass all the way to the top. this way the meniscus reverses to put the highest point actually ABOVE the rim of the glass

  • @Giftedbryan
    @Giftedbryan 6 лет назад

    Also, now that I think of it, it doesn't even have to be milk like I suggested earlier, it can just be water, as long as you fill the glass to the top and then surface tension will take further care of it.

  • @maddiechamblin4875
    @maddiechamblin4875 6 лет назад

    As for making the cork float in the center, i would think that having a dome shape at the bottom of the glass would help

  • @Yanthir
    @Yanthir 6 лет назад

    Coat the inside of the glass cup with a hydrophobic coating. That way the surface tension will cause the water to assume a convex shape

  • @nouvilas42
    @nouvilas42 6 лет назад

    To make the cork float on the center you would need a liquid that forms a convex meniscus, like mercury.

  • @intellectualInsectoid
    @intellectualInsectoid 6 лет назад

    If you fill the glass up all the way to the top so the water goes slightly above the rim of the glass, the cork will float in the middle, since it's higher than the edges. I think. Maybe?

  • @TheBeccabus

    to make the cork float in the middle, fill the cup all the way up, till you have a positive a convex meniscus.

  • @-Slinger-

  • @chancesmith116

    Could you potentially put a punt in the bottom of the glass like a bottle? That might make it float in the center.

  • @esthermofet
    @esthermofet 6 лет назад +1

    Add a drop of detergent to the glass. It'll break the water's surface tension, preventing it from climbing the side of the glass.

  • @uvbe
    @uvbe 6 лет назад

    My guess is that the glass's (Is that gramatically correct?) inner walls could be hydrophobic, so the water wouldn't be higher on the edges, maging everything leveled and thus the cork could float in the middle. I don't actually know if this would work, I'm just taking a guess.

    Either Treg is short or you are tall or that is a cool perspective trick. Also, nice shirt, I love it! And you are doing something I have always wanted to do so please don't mind me as I live vicariously through you. 😛A question for you: I have heard it said that glass, even when hardened, is still like a liquid in the sense that is _very slowly_ flows and that it flows because it doesn't crystallize. Is this true or have I been misinformed? You did a good job! Finally, you need to make the water form a concave shape, so coating the inside sides of the glass with a hydrophobic substance would cause that to happen.
