Have you heard of the “Leidenfrost effect”?

Lucky for us these guys wanted to see what this cool phenomenon is about and they filmed it.

They harnessed and actually used for an invention! It is a fascinating phenomenon that allows droplets of water to levitate and even climb uphill.  At the University of Bath, physicists have harnessed this quirky property to make a working thermostat without any moving parts.  That’s pretty awesome, aside from the money saving and lowered carbon footprint to make a traditional thermostat.

Maybe it even works better and doesn’t wear out so no need for a trip to Home Depot haha 😉

Let’s see the Leidenfrost effect in action in the video on page 2
