What you ’re look at is a droplet of pee , frozen in clock time by powderafter a exclusive bounce , captured in super slow motion for your gape - mouthed wonder . It ’s the work of researcher at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia who specialize in high - speed fluid tomography , which sounds like a pretty awesome task .
The extra weewee - disgusting pulverisation cover the entire control surface of the drops when they make encroachment , which preserves their deformed shape as they make their first bounciness . The freezing phenomenon apparently only happens when a small dop was turf out after the initial impact , and when the drops were fall at a minimum velocity of 5.25 feet per minute . But when it work , the result seem like magic , or the work of a unbalanced scientist . And besides providing a few bit where you’re able to wonder in fear at skill , the inquiry could lead to improvements in field such as water cooling , or ameliorate hydrokinetics for watercraft .
