I've forwarded this on to everyone i know, and several people think it ought to be me who makes a pool out of my kitchen trying to make this happen... I'm gunna try this for sure, but I'm going to wait until spring and do it outside,,, YO!

OFFLINE

I'm still having a hard time believing it's for real.

OFFLINE

i too shall give this a try, but i'm skeptical.

I'm thinking the object in motion - stays in motion thing, but that just doesn't apply here. I can't even begin to conceptualize how this works, but I don't think it's a hoax though. But the think is, wouldn't there be a vacuum caused just in picking up the cup - even though you're twisting it as you do it? I think there would be so I can't understand how the cup just lifts off so freely without SPASH, MESS, WETNESS EVERYWHERE

OFFLINE

I just imagine somebody laughing while they wonder how many people flooded their houses trying that, lol

Here is a hint: the key is the distilled water. Yes it can be done with tap water. But between using both distilled and tap water the success rate for tap will be extremely low, statistically.

So the idea is that the minerals and other non-H2O things in the water are heavier than the water, and the less of that in the water influences the water being able to maintain its shape and motion? I'm trying to grasp the physicalities here and it's driving me nuts that I cannot go outside right now and try it.

This .................................. ^

But then, you and I tend to think deviously anyway.

I've shared this with everyone at work and they all think it's fake. But nobody had dared to try it yet either
