In this video I show you how to make dry water! I show you why water is "wet" and if it is possible to actually make dry water! I use a fumed silica to from a protective layer around micro-droplets of water so that they separated like grains of sand. The end product is a really weird solution of water droplets that form a powder-like liquid, or a liquid-like powder.

    "Water is wet because it can wet things" Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes
  • As a formulation chemist that works with different types of fumed silica, I cant believe you didnt do this in a hood or at least didn't wear a mask while handling this stuff. Not stuff you want to breathe in

    He is the first man that tryed to blend water but still maneged to look smart.
  • Doesn't adding something to the liquid water, in effect, make it not water?

    Nobody: Action Lab: Blends plain water for solid 30 seconds to see what happens.
  • Wow. I wonder how many more people are going to quote the "water is wet" statement without checking the comments section first to see if someone already said it. HINT: A LOT of people have already said it!
  • @poloska9471
    Wow, I am kind of proud of myself… past two years I’ve been studying a lot of science as a hobby and when he said industry uses it to transport dangerous gasses I instantly thought “I bet you could do CO2 capture with this!” and then he said it! If you’re into scientific topics, study and watch every lecture you can! It’s so amazing.
