Water Droplets in Super Slow Motion

Slow motion photography and videography can reveal some very interesting phenomena.  Here we see a drop of water bouncing on a larger volume of water - an unexpected sight.



This reaction reminds me of the Leidenfrost Effect; of course, the physics behind each is quite different.

When one first sees such an unusual effect, being contrary to what one might believe would happen under such a circumstance, a strong spark of interest is ignited.  What fun.
