    Lucky guy indeed! I am addicted to these videos now

    Brilliant!! Reminds me of two Spacelab fluid experiments from around 1990. One was a convection experiment, the other used sound to suspend a sphere of water. Not only did they inject tracers and air into the spheres, they were able to spin them at high speed by adjusting the frequency of one or more of the tones. The Shuttle video was intended for ground researchers to monitor the experiments. That we early NASA TV watchers got to see it was just a side benefit.

    Awesome. Next best thing to actually being there and doing it myself. I certainly would like to see more performances of experiments in micro-gravity.

    Fascinating experiments!

    Don! Can you do that with ferrofluids in the ring, then send electricity through the ring or something so we can see how it reacts to a electromagnetic fields of different frequencies? And I don't know if it's possible to make a white ferrofluid, but it might look cool to see how the fluid swirls when in that erratic state. Thank you so much for spending the time on these videos, and showing us this data. I'm waving at you.

    It's possibly the type - ie speed - of vibration that repels some of the droplets. What does sound do to the film?

  • @danosqu
    @danosqu 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm pretty sure it has something to do with hot water expanding, the redistribution of mass and surface tension....

    This video is awesome!!! Congratulations on being curious. So... why do some of the water drops bounce off??? that's interesting.

    • @fewbitsgames94
      @fewbitsgames94 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Surface tension of water film, cohesion and adhesion of water molecules, volume of water drops from the syringe.

  • @DaBamBamMan
    @DaBamBamMan 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @ikijas I would think the amount of inertial energy combined with the size of the droplet would decide if it goes through, sticks and mixes, or bounces off. Not a physicist though so it's pretty much a guess lol.

    What happens to a helium balloon in a space ship, where does it tend to travel. (up/down?)

    You are in space how cool is that!. Seen anything strange up there? guess a million have ask already. If you have time could you please record some space debris focus on them so they are clear then unfocus as far as you can this is just to prove a subject I have been working on it would help me out big time. Wish I was you

    How wuld fire burn in the ISS, in zero gravity, if you take for examle an firelighter cube. Will it burn? In which direction will the flames go? There is no top.. May a round ball shaped flame? But where should new O2 come from.. ^^ thx

  • @DaBamBamMan
    @DaBamBamMan 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks like the atmosphere of Jupiter or Saturn. That's pretty awesome. More videos like this please.

    @AV1461 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Did anyone think of using these films as lenses to make a two lens telescope? like a Kepler configuration telescope?
    If you get them pretty thick then the focusing distance will be small.

    • @mizar_copernicus138
      @mizar_copernicus138 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      yeah but water likes to absorb dirt which is hard to get off it and you can clearly see even small movement defomr its shape so it is cool idea but totally unpractical

    • @AV1461
      @AV1461 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      More or less. I don't know if the ISS is clean in that regard, but I think it is. But it would be also hard because the water won't stop still on the frame for a long long time. So yeah, a little unpractical.

  • @DevinBates

    I think you should do the same thing but with magnets. See how the lack of gravity affects the behavior of magnets.

    Omg when u add the white stuff it looks like the universe spinning round or should I say Galaxy .u get the idea lol

    Ok how did the water vapor from contact with the iron rise up if it is in a 0 g area

    how can fire burns in zero gravity? whether it is upwards!

  • @carpetmonk
    @carpetmonk 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    so incredible.. I love every one of these video by Mr. Pettit. there are entire PhD's wrapped up in these expiriments. a favorite of mine, is a video called "lenses and vortices" check it out!

    It just stays there unless you push it.
    There's no up or down in space.

    Ok people, I have an idea, I speak russian, english and french, I am in great physical shape, so I'm ready to go to the ISS and make all your requested experiments up there in zero G. NASA should fly me to the ISS to make your wishes come true!

    In space there is no up/down. The helium balloon wouldn't go anywhere.
