Dancing Water Drop |
Everybody
has once observed a dancing water drop on a hotplate. Depending on the suitability
of the structuring and on the different pressure on the left and right side,
the water is accelerated in one direction. The exhibit shows a hot (protected)
metal plate with a defined path for the water drop. The visitor can now himself
dispense a water drop and observe how it floats along the path on the metal
plate without any force being applied from the outside. At the amazement of the
visitors, the water drop remains for a long time on the 200°C hot plate. |
