New video on the Leidenfrost effect! For this one, I was able to get some awesome slow motion footage of the Leidenfrost effect up close, and I might have dipped my hand in HOT OIL?

A question I still can’t answer - why does the milk make a star pattern while the water pattern is circular?! My best is that it’s something to do with the viscosity of the milk. What do y’all think?

I’ve enjoyed sharing a lot of at-home experiments in a lot of my recent videos, but I do miss the fun times in the studio with my editor.

Okay, I'm still obsessed with the Leidenfrost effect. How cool is this shot?! The water droplet is moving over ridges of the hot plate, which sends ripples. This is obviously in slow motion - shoutout to Darren beyondslowmotion for filming these beautiful shots on his Phantom camera!
