Water balloons in SPACE

[ImEric12]

Ever wondered what it'd look like to pop a water balloon in zero-g?

Three videos. They're pretty freaking cool. It's weird when they turn off the zero-g in the last one and the blob of water just falls at normal speed.

Wow, that's pretty cool!

Were they trying to drink the water or were they blowing bubbles into the water? Either way, it's cool. n.n I wonder if they could do it with chocolate milk and make bubbles, because that's awesome.

They were blowing air bubbles into the water. Pretty gnarly experiment.

Have you ever smoked a big fat cuban cigar?

Very cool stuff. I'm going to try to save these if I can.

You'd have to bar rape in space, otherwise every step you pressed would shoot you off and away from the pad... haha

That is so awesome. I thought that the water particles would end up scattering, but I guess the surface tension or something keeps it together. Very interesting... and awesome.

No its because water is polar. it sticks together and to things.

That's why if you throw water out of a glass it will stick together until it hits the ground as opposed to pebbles which will scatter...

please don't bump old threads...

The bump wasn't too big. The bad part came from the lack of contribution.
