Note that the water is constantly flowing down, even when the droplets appear to be going up. You assume that it is the “same” drop going down/up/hovering but it isn’t. Your brain just groups it that way.

You’ll create a homopolar motor – translation: the wire rapidly spins around the battery.

Looks way cooler than I can describe.

It uses sodium acetate to create a supersaturated solution, that when touched, instantly crystallizes and releases heat, giving the appearance and feel of “hot ice.” I remember doing this demo in chemistry class when I was in school. It would be really cool to incorporate this into a trick routine somehow.

It’s pretty neat to see it actually happen.

Hint: use the principles of hyrdogen bonding.
