This is video exemplifies the Leidenfrost effect occurring with water in a hot cast iron pan. Thanks to my teammates Abdullah, Sander, and Tristan. The soundtrack is Celestial Body Long which is part of iMovie’s built in music library.

The close up image allows me to see that the water droplets appear to be spinning and bouncing at high frequency. Nice choice!
It’s interesting how droplets jumping all over the place.
Seeing the bigger droplets deform as they bounce is super satisfying. Nice framing and lighting as well.
Really nice that you were able to get a good close up view of the effect. I think the cooler section of the pan makes for an interesting discussion point about the physics going on. Nice job!
that’s super cool I like how the droplets look like solids the way they bounce and break up
I like the framing of the video, it feels very up-close and personal.
That’s awesome! I hadn’t heard of this effect before. Neat to hear your and Dr. Koch’s explanations of how it happens.
I really like how you can see the the full form of the fluid drops as well as the reflection from the light on the drops while the Leidenfrost effect is taking place. Very cool phenomenon!
This video is super cool! I thought you did a great job with the framing of the pan– we can clearly see both the flat section and the curved edges in order to observe how the water interacts with both. Nice choice of music as well!
I’ve seen this effect done on a school table before and it was pretty cool, I love it.
