      But Cody, where would the lipids be coming from? is there soap in your mercury? something has to make the barrier layer to stabilize the droplet. I think this needs a video on your channel!

    I had never seen the submerged "anti-bubble" before, but I have studied the surface phenomenon that was initially shown with the milk.
    Back in '79 I won the Houston Science Fair Physics division (and most original exhibit) with my "Interstice formation in liquids" project, but I had never heard of "anti-bubbles."
    The surface phenomenon, which involves droplets floating above the surface, happens in every polar (meaning the molecules are inherently bi-polar charged due to covalent bonding) liquid. This happens in the sink, on the hood of a car, and I've even noticed it in urinals, as well as molten solder (tin and lead). The Hydrogen atoms in water are bonded at a 107 degree angle with a covalent bond to the Oxygen, so even plain water will do this. I was able to set up an apparatus with nearly 100% floater generation, and also used dye to study the droplets. Interestingly, the addition of soap (or any surfactant) simply causes the floating droplets to flatten out, and they will often merge creating "drops" nearly 2cm in diameter. I also played around with pH, but that had no effect on the phenomenon. If I remember right, the air gap is just a few hundred Angstrom, close to the wavelength of yellow light - one experimenter used diffraction rings from a sodium lamp to measure the distance. Any dust or particulate on the surface of the liquid tends to pop the bubbles so that they either don't form, or are extremely short lived.
    One of the coolest things about this is that if you introduce a static electric field, the phenomenon disappears! Apparently this alters the surface polarity enough to prevent the electric charge drop levitation. Run a comb through your hair and bring it near the liquid to watch this, or just stand on a bathroom mat that makes static when you rub your socks on it: when you bend over to get a close look at the drops, they all disappear!
    The only research I was ever able to find on this came from two Scientific American articles in the old "Amateur Scientist" column (I would not be the person I am without reading that during my childhood). I was able to disprove most of the theories in those articles, but never came up with a full theory that explained all the behavior I observed.

      @USWaterRockets 8 років тому +65

      I was wondering when she was going to get to that and she never did. I was going to suggest that the soap or food coloring was increasing the surface tension of the milk enough that the droplets were able to rest on the surface. After seeing the rest of the video I think that it could possible be just like the way she explained how the antibubbles form under the liquid, except they form on the top of the liquid instead. The only area where the gas film exists is between the surface of the sphere and the milk it is sitting on. The film of air is strong enough that it allows the sphere to float on top of the milk like it was in a small boat made of air.

    So was the milk experiment at the beginning an anti-bubble or not? I think your answer was "almost" but I'm not sure there was a follow up.

    • @kurtilein3
      @kurtilein3 8 років тому +12

      You can have bubbles or anti-bubbles that are either stuck to the surface or not stuck to the surface. Only the free-flying bubbles and the fully submerged anti-bubbles are spherical and have a double-layer going all around. The varieties that are stuck to the surface are basically incomplete, on one side they have no double-layer.

    • @davishall
      @davishall 8 років тому

      From the definition, it should be. The milk bubbles are a film of gas (air) surrounding a sphere of liquid. The definition also included "typically submerged in a liquid", but regular bubbles were also said to be "typically surrounded by gas", which we know isn't always true. In short, yeah, I think so.
      (And I know I messed up the quotes, I'm not gonna go get the exact ones)

    • @DamianShaw86
      @DamianShaw86 8 років тому

      kurtilein3 so the definition of a bubble requires this double layer? But the milk "spheres" were just caused by surface tension?

  • @RolandsSh
    @RolandsSh 8 років тому +19

    Regarding milk at the beginning - couldn't that just a regular example of surface tension? Pretty much same thing as water droplet on a lotus leaf.
    Milk is an emulsion and dish soap acts as a surfactant (deceases surface tension), which allows for unstable droplets of mainly oil in the outer layer to form. Quite easy to test as well by repeating the experiment with both skim milk and whole milk. It should be much harder to produce the droplets with skim milk If my theory is correct.

    • @skaterzero807
      @skaterzero807 8 років тому +18

      Those are not anti-bubbles, just when the surface tension of a droplet and the milk surface prevents the two mixing. All it takes is a small bit of impurity to break the surface tension of the droplet and it breaks open and mixes with the rest of the milk. Also happens with very clean rainwater on a puddle

    • @wbeaty

      The soap molecules behave very similarly to the phospholipid molecules that make up cell membranes, except that they've been shown to form their "bubbles" spontaneously under the right conditions. These naturally-occurring "bubbles" of lipids could have served as a prototype that eventually developed into something we would recognize an primitive, but living, cell.
      They're pretty jargon-heavy, but here's a couple wiki pages with more info:
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_bilayer
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cell_membrane_theory

    • @NobodyXChallengerYT
      @NobodyXChallengerYT 8 років тому +6

      +DontStealMyFish The basis of the cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer. It's the "hydrophilic head" and "hydrophobic tail" stuff she explained.

    • @someguy7869
      @someguy7869 8 років тому +6

      yea, I couldn't help but notice how similar the antibubble are to phospholipids, the stuff that makes up most of the cell membrane. they both have a hydrophilic head and long hydrophobic tails. and they are both have bi-layer, with the hydrophobic tails sticking in and the hydrophobic heads sticking out.
      biology girl? xd

    • @nirmalsundhar
      @nirmalsundhar 8 років тому

      Absolutely this could help understand what forces made the early cell membranes possible. But i think early cell membranes could have been bubbles (lipid film in water or organic solution as a medium) instead of anti bubbles.

    I made some of those weird bubbles from the beginning by accident recently. I work in a very dirty job making the pvc resin (a powder) that gets melted to make plastic. I accidentally spilled some coke on my desk and I decided to try to absorb it by putting some of the powder on it. It ended up creating these small beads of powder and liquid that rolled around on the surface. They were actually very resilient and required deliberate effort to pop them. I was even able to bury them with powder and dig them back out.

    If they're electrically charged, you should be able to steer them with electrical polarity.

    Interestingly, I first noticed this phenomenon years ago but never knew how to describe it so I could find out what was going on. When I was younger I used to drink tea with milk but couldn't stand it if the tea was too hot so I used to pour a bit of milk into the tea, then stir continuously until it cooled down. While stirring, sometimes my hand would slip and the spoon would create those antibubbles skimming over the surface, but only if I'd been stirring for a while: it would never work if I'd only been stirring for a few seconds.
    And yes, pretty much everything physicsy that we take for granted on Earth goes topsy-turvy when you go into space. Weightlessness makes things weird, it shows us how vital gravity is to our intuitive understanding of how the world works.

    @jasonmcintosh2632 8 років тому

    Probably 10 years ago now there was an article in Physics Today about how a fluid bubble can float above a fluid surface. The mechanism was drive by the bubble having a lower temperature than the water surface. The bottom of the bubble is slightly heated due to it's close proximity (but not touching) with the water surface. Heating the bottom of the bubble increases it's surface tension which pulls the bubbles surface down. The surface tension "powers" a torrid circulation pattern in the bubble. Since there's a no slip condition with the air that's in contact with the bubble, the bubble drags air underneath it. If the circulation is fast enough, it'll suspend the bubble above the warmer water surface until the temperature equalizes, killing the circulation and causing the bubble to drop down into the water surface. This is hard to explain w/o diagrams...

    Small kids have been using that trick to make popsicle speed boats since the '80s in my contry.
    Just find a relatively quiet pool of water, break off half of a popsicle, swipe the jagged end on some detergent bar and place it on top of the water.
    IIRC this has something to do with surface tension and the detergent breaking that up or something.
