    I was just watching Backyard Scientist drop lava into his pool, and noted that the lava initially floated on the water for a while before it sank. My first thought was "reverse (inverse) Leidenfrost", the steam from the boiling water is keeping the molten rock afloat. And here you are now doing a video ON THAT EXACT THING!

    The motion of the droplet on the surface looks a lot like the motion you get with magnetic levitation over a large surface (relatively speaking). Same behavior where no matter how hard you try to deposit the levitating object, it takes on a "random" trajectory and begins to travel across the surface bouncing off the edges of any container it's done inside of. The thing I remember about that demonstration was that any force imparted upon the levitating object will cause it to move again once stopped.

    Is it inverse though? I don't think the definition of Leidenfrost effect explicitly states which part should be producing the vapour. It's only us giving the example of a water droplet on a stove that has us thinking that there has to be a droplet at all. To quote Wikipedia (yeah, I know it's not the best source but still) "The Leidenfrost effect is a physical phenomenon in which a liquid, in near contact with a mass significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer keeping that liquid from boiling rapidly." For example when a hot steel ball is dropped into water, it is Leidenfrost effect that keeps it from rapidly cooling and boiling the water.

      Inverse as in; It's not the drop that is producing the vapor nor is the surface providing the heat. So Leidenfrost yes because the effect is the same but the other requirements are flipped. The steel ball in water is just a variation on scale where the hot surface is made into the ball but still the water is providing the vapor.
      To make it even clearer. The water droplet does eventually disappear. The hot ball does cool and the effect stops. So either the heat runs out or the water. In this setup de droplet is basically just for the ride and does not change.
      I may be wrong(probably am) but that is my understanding of it.

    • @niklaskoskinen123
      @niklaskoskinen123 Před 5 lety +2

      @@HenkJanBakker I get your point, that the mass ratios are recersed, but still, the definition doesn't require water nor does it require a droplet. It only requires a liquid (in this case the liquid nitrogen) and a mass hotter than the liquids boiling point (in this case the silicon oil). In no way, at least to my mind, does the example in the video differ from the definition.

    I once pushed a styrofoam cup of coffee across a table and it vibrated such that the standing wave on the surface formed beads of liquid which rolled around on the surface of the coffee which was of course mind blowing. I have since repeated it a few times to demonstrate to people who don't believe me but I have never understood how exactly it works.
