The weird physics of upside down buoyancy
Ғылым және технология
Liquid can levitate and boats can float upside down in this gravity-defying physics experiment. Researchers in Paris have been investigating the effect of vertical shaking, which can be used to suspend a layer of liquid in mid-air. They have discovered a peculiar phenomenon that allows lightweight objects to float on the bottom surface of this liquid, with a kind of reverse-buoyancy. This counter-intuitive behaviour is a result of the constant vibrations which changes the forces acting on the floating objects.

Be careful how you interpret this - I'm pretty sure it wasn't the math, but casual tinkering, that led to the discovery of this idiosyncrasy. Math merely "checks out" the phenomenon after the fact. Historically very few scientific effects (lasers, for example, being the exception) have been discovered by the route of math or theories.

A related phenomenon is the liquefaction of saturated sandy soils during an earthquake. This is a problem with many landfills at coastal cities around the Pacific. If the landfill is made up of sandy soil, during an earthquake, the vibration will cause an increase in the interstitial pressure of the water between the soil grains, which can increase high enough that it exceeds the weight of the soil, and the soil liquefies. As a result you see buildings sinking into the ground.

It might probably help boyancy in keeping the boat floating , but I do not think it's effect will be so pronounced to hold the boat all by itself . We could probably sort this issue out if the scientists scale up the system or use some other liquid with lesser surface tention . We can't rule out surface tention's action before we vary the surface tention right? 👍
Imagine being on a ship when this happened.
This explains how flying saucers would work and possibly how the pyramids were built- vibration/frequency waves causing levitation.

A man of culture, I see
I would assume that adhesion between the upsidedown boat and the liquid also plays an important role, but adhesion isn't mentioned in this video. After reading the article, I found that surface tension and capillary forces only play a small role. Yet I'm not sure if this directly correlates to adhesion forces.
One would assume that once the mass of the oscillating fluid drops below(due to dripping), or the weight of the object is considerably greater than the mass, required to keep the system in resonance or that the viscosity of the fluid changes due to change in temperature the system would go out of balance and so it would be best to not keep ones hopes up for levitating boat/cars cruising down the highway.

Not with magic, not with maths, not even with mathemagics. Just physics, fluid dynamics, and air-pressure. Never seen a boat drip so much up and out of its mast like that before. Clearly, it's the shaking in a rigid container, not the spinning and hurtling through a vacuum, that makes this neat little trick possible. Oh, and magnets.
Imagine the sea legs you'd get
I swear this video is one giant innuendo
At first glance at the thumbnail my mind, of all things, decided to interpret what it saw as a monstrous mouth and teeth of some cursed creature from the deepest depths of the ocean and I SOOOO didn't like that.
So its literally like a balloon trapped in a cloud, except everything here is more dense
I mean if the air pressure is strong enough to keep the liquid above it's not hard to see that it could keep the boat in place.
YO WE GOT FRIGGEN GRAVITY CONVERTERS NOW.
Ah yes...breaking physics without breaking physics
Think about having one of the shakers but a really big one. Maybe we could use it for gravity stabilizers in space

The way she says "air" just sounds like "eee"

This is incredible! If testing. This theory on a much larger scale, we may be able to achieve anti gravity chambers or bottomless pools.

Unfortunately not, as the liquid needs to be exponentially more viscous as you increase the area.
Just saw this yesterday and haven't read much of the comments, but wouldn't this just be that due to the vibrations, there are minuscule or even microscopic vacuum pockets being formed between the liquid and the object, thus keeping 'stuck' to the liquid?

"It goes right bk to its previous position. Just like it's counterpart on the top" Yet the very beginning of the video shows that's not the case. The boat on the bottom completely fipped to straight up and down, to upside down.
At first i thought it was a squid beak but it turn out to be small boats
I wonder if they could place a tiny toy on the upside down boat to see if it is something like “artificial gravity similar” phenomenon.

But the fluid would polarize due to the shaking, not to mention the planet's crust imploding and the outer oceans being polarized as well. Basically due to the up and down motion the water would settle around the top and bottom. Maybe the effect shown in the video could be recreated but without a linear gravity inside of the chamber the downward force is mitigated, also the increased amount of fluid means due to the square cube law the frequency would have to be a lot more strong and steady, and there's more chances for the liquid to break formation and pull the whole thing down. Hollow Earth theory is still quite unrealistic, according to what we know now.
