You ever use a paper cup? That’s basically what they are.

The water disappears

Fermion ,

Well the bucket would get very scared.

The coating just keeps water from ‘sticking’ to it or from soaking in to cloth etc. it doesn’t do anything special aside from that, you’d just have a normal bucket of water in this case

bountygiver ,

which would probably pour the water out better than normal bucket due to less droplets still sticking in it.

Probably yeah. I seem to remember some sort of YouTube science video doing something like this.

You’d have a bucket of water I’m pretty sure

bizarroland ,

Basically, the water would be held inside the bucket in the shape of the bucket without getting the bucket wet, because the hydrophobic coating would prevent the water from touching the bucket, however the water would still touch the hydrophobic coating, it just will not stick to the hydrophobic coating.

Pretty sure you’d get one big bead of water. Something much more interesting are superfluids.

Made me think of the LiquiGlide ketchup video from a few years ago.

Did this stuff ever get used anywhere or just vaporware?

Empricorn ,

Do… you think a coating repels water a foot away like some sort of anti-water magnet…?

How do you think Jesus walked on water?

stealth_cookies ,

I desperately want to know what you were thinking might happen when you asked this question.

A hovering blobb of liquid, equidistant from each wall, most likely.

tonyn ,

That’s basically what you get, but the distance from each wall is about an atom thick.

Jolteon ,

Hey, that atom thick distance allows the water to not stick to the coating.

Zahille7 ,

Like magnets

HootinNHollerin ,

Not a blobb, an orb

Admetus ,

The long awaited invention of anti-gravity.

A black hole would open up, don’t do it

Reverendender ,

Not until you know the Seventh Symbol

Eight chevron locked— we’re going to Pegasus!

“Alright everyone, remember where we parked!”

xmunk ,

I thought that only happened if you put a hydrophobic bucket inside a hydrophobic portable hole.

pastermil ,

black hole… sun…?

A black hole having the mass of the sund would have a Schwarzschild radius of circa 3 kilometers.

ERPAdvocate ,

Eh nothing interesting. The water would be in the bucket but pool and bead much quicker, instead of spreading and getting the bucket ‘wet’. Kind of like a hydrophobic windshield coating.
