I had a friend in college who's parents had a house on Chesapeake Bay. We went out boating several times and once our friend Jou decided to try wake boarding. He couldn't figure out standing, so he decided to try boogie board style. Several of us tried to tell him he'd be like the skipping stone, but he was stubborn and insisted he would do it until he figured it out. Well, he never figured it out, but he also refused to let go of the rope. He spent several minutes thwacking into the water before our friend Scott decided to turn around and pick him up. Joe's front of his body from chest down was red for a week.

Love the video's, watched em all. MORE PLEASE.

If I had Illinois EnergyProf as a college teacher, I would have never flunked out of the Physics department.

I was waiting for him to show the effects of a surfactant and how it destroys the surface tension of water.

yeah. thing is, draw an upside down toothless frown and people gonna ask 'dafuq this supposed to be?' Him explaining why the wrong shape is is supposed to be correct kinda triggerad me too. But this is entry level stuff. Whenever they show the water tension paper clip, you know you're in grade school physics.

You, and this video, are a hoot, Professor Ruzic. I wish I could have taken classes from you even though engineering/physics was way out of my zone. Be well and keep putting up these great vids.

You've mentioned in a few of your videos the concentration of elements in seawater, so would it be possible for you to do a full video on the economics of extracting minerals from seawater? Have there been any proposals for it? Is it possible to do somewhat passively (with say, solar lenses and mirrors)?

Agreed with ProjectphysX. In the case of skipping stones and water skiing, it is a lift effect rather than a surface tension effects. That's fairly obvious because of the large forces involved. But more generally, it cannot be surface tension because firstly, skipping stones works when the stones are already wet. And secondly, both skipping stones and water skiing require, not simply tolerate but actually require, relative motion of the object borne up by the water and the water itself.

During World War II the US Army Air Force used the skipping on water technique in a dramatic way. It was too difficult to fly over Japanese ships and bomb them. To solve this problem both B-17 and B-25 bomber crews stationed at Port Moresby practiced flying low and skipping bombs into old wrecks. The results were both accurate and devastating. Wartime skip bombing helped decide the battle of New Guinea in America's favor.

For the water skier, it is not the surface tension keeping him from sinking. At that scale inertial effects dominate: the water cannot be pushed down fast enough and its inert mass resists. For the skipping stone and the gecko it's also mostly inertial effects, but at this smaller scale surface tension still plays a role in the dynamics. Stone skipping should still work on ethanol for example, provided that the stone is fast enough.

I only recently discovered this channel while researching radiation, but I could not quite make sense of channel's profile picture. (I mean you have the lecturer that is standing on top of water in the middle of a swimming pool. Quite random I'd say). But this video gave a little more context to the picture in question.

You forgot something really cool! Do those "indentations" made by the bugs follow Archimedes Principle?

You are the best commercial for you collage ... i wish i was younger i wouldn't mine taking classes from you , maybe some-day my kiddo's might take your class ,,, i had no-idea that UCI has a fusion reactor ... and a supper-computer ...

Waterbugs actually do float back up. I used to sink them to watch it happen is cool they trap air between there wing like flap and thorax.

The diameter of a water drop is about 4.5 mm by measuring cave soda straws, in the current surface gravity of the Earth. In the Geologic Past, they may have been large in diameter when the Earth was smaller, and had a lower surface gravity. This would be consistent with Sauropods being up to 15 times the Volume of Male African Elephants, and going farther back in time Centipedes were up to 2 meter long, and 1 meter wide.

Can you do a video on why ice is slippery? Thought I heard it’s also do to polarity of water?

Anything you don't understand how it works is by definition magic. Once you understand how it works it's obviously no longer magic.

Would adding detergent (such as dish washing liquid) reduce the surface tension of water?

Criss Angel and 7 of his buddies disliked this video

Three guys are in a boat passing the time fishing and trying to solve all the world's problems. About noon the Rabbi says he is hungry but that he left his lunch in the car, but he says no problem and he gets out of the boat, walks to shore, gets his lunch, walks back to the boat, sits down and has his lunch. His friend the protestant pastor decides he wants his lunch too, so he gets up, walks to shore and back, and sits down in the boat. The priest sees all of this and gets up, steps onto the water, and sinks over his head. The Rabbi whispers to the pastor, "Should we tell him where the rocks are?"

He's writing on glass and the camera is filming the image in a mirror. Looking at prof from behind the glass we see him normally but the writing is in reverse. (Note in the demo he is right handed and his wedding ring and lapel pin are left handed.) Then turn around and see that image in a mirror. The prof is in mirror-image, (left hand writing, ring on right hand) and the mirror-image of reverse writing is no longer reversed. This always perplexed me, as much at times as the topic, until I was finally able to logic it out. Which brings me to a Request... Hey Prof, could break down for us why a mirror reflects an image with only left/right reversal, but not top/bottom reversal or any other reversal. Curious minds are dying to know
