    i think this might be real, the surface tension of water is very stable and might be able to keep its shape, i think a shape that has more surface area might be easier, like a smaller cup or something more spherical.

    This actually makes sense if you have at least a basic grasp on fluid dynamics and physics. Water is very cohesive, so with the right current and direction it could, with the right air condition (considering humidity, pressure, etc.), in fact preform this phenomena.
    For those who think the centrifugal force would rip it apart, you could not have passed Physics. Centrifugal force is an imaginary force. This works by centripetal force. Centripetal force is the force that pulls an object to the center of the circular path it is traveling (rather than outward, which is what some people think centrifugal force is). This force makes the object move in the tangent of said circle. Since the force is constantly acting on the object, and the object already has momentum, it will continue to move in a circle until it loses momentum to friction.
    In this case, the centripetal force is being supplied by the coherence of the water. When looking at the momentum of the water spinning and the centripetal force pull it in, the phenomena makes sense.

    Sorry if it’s worded badly, it’s hard to put it into words without using more scientific vocabulary.

      Don’t forget that inertia keeps objects traveling in the same direction. If that direction happens to be a circular one, then the object will remain spinning until another force cancels it out. Like a gyroscope!

        you can’t have a circular direction: travelling along a circular path actually requires constant acceleration. And centrifugal force is not imaginary, clearly-not-quite-as-wise-guy. It is a so-called ‘fictitious’ force in that it is not resultant from a physical interaction per se, but rather arising from a non-inertial frame of reference (because remember that the object in the circular path is not in rest, but is also not in a regular motive state, but is constantly accelerating). In a way, this is a form of special relativity. It’s really just inertia in a direction perpendicularly outward from the tangent of the circular motion. It’s this ‘centrifugal force’ that causes a bucket swung around not to spill its contents, and it is also this force that governs and makes possible the centrifuge.

          Centrifugal “Force” is NOT a force. There is no such thing as circular velocity. Here, take David and Goliath for example. When David swung his sling above his head, did the rock continue orbiting around his head when he let it go, or did it follow ITS STRAIGHT PATH to Goliath’s forehead; knocking him out thus letting David slay him? The sling was exerting centripetal force on the rock until he let it go, just as a bucket on a string does the same with water when swung around.

      Of course, either the void you’re creating when lifting the glass or the air filling that void would break the superficial tension, that void is why in the “failed attempts” you see water flying everywhere instead of water colliding in itself

      I love the fact that you are co-trolling, and keeping people in doubt about the possibility of this actually working, but I think we need to be honest here on memebase. We need to stand as a united front against the non-internet people, and troll them in unison.

      Btw, applying physics (I’m a physics major), the surface tension would seek to minimize the surface area of the water, rounding out the edges on the top. You can see an example of that behaviour when you spill a drop of liquid on the counter, it doesn’t retain any other form than an ellipsoidal one. That fact alone proofs the video is for trolling purposes only.

      Just going to point out that centrifugal forces absolutely exist. Anyone who says otherwords is simply overzealous and under educated. If you accurately create the forces and newtonian counterforces in a rotating system and you have centrifugal forces. As a matter of fact, they are stronger than centripetal forces in most moving systems, but because they require calculus to approximate, while centripital requires only algebra, most physics teachers claim they don’t exist.

        Technically, centrifugal force is only felt from a certain reference point. For all the calculations we’ve done, centrifugal force has been immaterial to the information we have been attempting to find. Centripetal force pulls inwards towards the center of rotation, centrifugal is a purely reference based force that acts opposite and equal to centripetal.

      centripetal force needs to be CAUSED BY SOMETHING
      aka a rope tied to a bucket provides force on the bucket inwards if swung in a circle
      wings on a plane pull towards the center due to fluid dynamics &pressure in a spiral or loop
      a car on an exit ramp does not move to the outside of the curve because of static (YES, STATIC – NOT KINETIC) friction pushing towards the center
      This is not possible.

      I sure hope you are also trolling, because you are wrong on so many levels.

      While your description of centrifugal and centripetal forces are correct, centripetal force doesn’t exist simply because an object is moving in a circle. It is the other way around; centripetal force causes circular motion. There must be something present, such as gravity or tension in a string, to provide the centripetal force.

      The trick for me was that I had to keep the cup absolutely vertical. It’s very easy to accidentally tilt it to one side or the other as you twist it, but if you do you’ll destroy the cohesion the vortex would otherwise set up.

      The countertop also needs to be close to perfectly level. I had to do this next to the bathroom sink, because my kitchen counter is a little uneven.

    Well, actually with minimal thought you can clearly see the vacuum force created with the “twisting motion” would have the force of 4000 newtons which would allow the suspension of water in the shape of the cup, And with proper technique, at a fourty five point seven nine three two angle, you can actually create optimal thrusting motions and will thus, prove this to be true.

    very slightly frozen, so just the outside is ice, then outside of ice smoothed with heat or water. the spinning causes pressure on the ice, eventually causing it to break and splash out.

    The real trick here is getting the ice thickness right.

    tbh i think this actually can happen. surface tension is actually a pretty powerful force, as is centripetal/fugal motion. spin the surface of the water fast enough, and the water will probably stay in the shape for a short period. (and for those who say this breaks the laws of physics, explain wave/particle duality of electrons.. they act as waves when you’re not observing but particles when you are?)

    as for the fact he’s a so-called master of 3D effects.. that instantly means this is fake?

    Water tension would make the water stick to the glass unevenly and cause lots of tiny imbalances over the cone shape, lift parts of the water and ultimately collapse the cone, second, gravity on earth is stronger than the inertia that cone could create, thirdly the inertia would also generate a certain amount of centrifuge which would add to the forces acting against the cone, fourthly the weight of the water acting upon the water molecules at the bottom of the cone would spread the water out over the table and lead to the collapse of the cone. Also, a few combinations of these points i.e centrifuge on the bottom molecules would “tear” them away from the cone and the water tension would drag a few molecules with them and they would drag more and down it would fall. Impossible trick, but very clever camera work.

    Reminds me of QWOP, they say practice makes perfect. Also I’ve seen people go 100 meters: like this dude, but with the spinny trick, but I never can go farther than five.
