  1. Hey Brady could you re-record the experiment in this video with a newer camera? I would love to see these hydrophobic materials more!

  2. i use to defy the laws of physics, but then i took an arrow to the knee

  3. this guy is so monotone.

  4. @MatheusNoi No, it sink’s but it makes a bubble around the item….incase you were serious

  5. If they make shoes with this, can I walk on water like Jesus?

  6. @Terabytekit
    …. Why?….

  7. @88Kamikaze69 it would explode

  8. If I put this on my feet, can I walk on water like Jesus?

  9. no you will float it is displacing more water

  10. if you jumped in to water with a suit covered in this stuff wouldnt you sink and not be able to get back up because the water would repel you?

  11. @88Kamikaze69 Or a submarine!

  12. @zheffner666 Perhaps you’d smack the pool like concrete.

  13. CARPET PROTECTOR :3

  14. If you made a body suit out of it and jumped into a pool would you just fall to the bottom?

  15. @zheffner666 In that case, once you completely drink the glass, no drops of water will remain on the edges.

  16. @88Kamikaze69 Well… win?

  17. what if you coat a pool with it or a glass?

  18. Would this be ideal for motorists?

  19. where do you get this stuff and how expensive is it? looked around on their site and didn’t see where to buy it

  20. where do you but this stuff? they have all the info on their site but no place to buy it

  21. @88Kamikaze69 Well. It would probably in a sense make water slippery. This also means less control on boats, boards, machines of war, etc. But until someone test these suggestions we won’t be for sure about what would happen.

  22. @DeadlyPear
    I dont know about that, just seemed rather obvious to me 0_o
    Unfortunately the principal is far more applicable on weapons and water crafts of war but I’d rather not mention how although I think those who makes such things already know this.
    Could make a lot of rather amusing water toys as well, long distance water skipping discus comes to mind.
    Not to mention applying it to surf and body boards.
    I wonder how it would affect extreme higth diving when applied to suits as well.

  23. @88Kamikaze69 BRILLIANT.

  24. you sound like that monkey from Spongebob

  25. @kjfcijsidjisjbiojsoi Then it will run across the room, hit the floor molding, shoot to the ceiling and stick. You will have fun explaining that one.
