Wow! That is so cool! I thought that it was amazing how the layer of air separated the water droplet from the water, causing it to bounce.

I thought it was cool how the water layer acted as a "rubbery" sheet causing the droplet to bounce. It was really interesting to learn that the water actually bounces, too. I thought that the water droplet was just absorbed by the other water, and nothing else happened other than that, and a ripple effect.

It is amazing what can be discovered with a high frame rate camera. It's interesting how fast this happens so we never know. I agree with Ara saying that it is interesting how the air on the water's surface creates a rubbery layer that the water droplet can bounce on temporarily.

This is very interesting and I loved it a lot that must have been some good camera work I also agree with ara who agreed the Brandon F and its interesting that the layer acted as a trampoline causing the ripple and splash.

That was really cool! I never knew that water could actually bounce. I think it was interesting how the water droplet fell into the water and then turned into a small bubble which then turned into a smaller bubble. This process happened because of surface tension. Also, it was cool at the end when they explained how the water droplet eventually became so close to the water that it would burst, and then turn into a smaller bubble, until finally it exploded completely. I really liked this video a lot.

I thought that the concept was cool, but the video itself didn't interest me that much.

@ Sophie: You have to admit, it looks pretty cool

I look it up and this effect could be explained partially aerodynamics

etta :D :P :) :| said...

I think that watching that short video might have been the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life! I thought that the best part was when the water droplet was kind of standing on the water
