Description
I got a bunch of notes on how I made this photo: [link]And while you're at it: [link]
So I decided to make a tutorial. I don't know if it's useful. Let me know if you have some use for it...and if not, not.
Hit the download-button for fullsize. But beware, it's quite big.
Edit: HOLY CRAP!!! A DD?!
I should probably say something cool or inspirational in this moment, but my brain just went offline...
Thanks to all the comments and favs, I will come back to you, I promise. When I made this I didn't thought it had any use at all. Maybe I have to rethink my standarts...
If you use this tutorial, please send me a note. I would love to see your version and I would like to link it to the tutorial. But it's your choice of course.
Here are some examples of peoples who used it:

I must try this! I used to use a metal sheet with butter on it.

Metal sheet and butter? That sounds like I have to try it myself.

Trial and error. It was a coincidence while experimenting.

Schönes Tutorial.
Und schau bei Gelegenheit auch hier mal rein, vielleicht hilft dir/euch das noch weiter
How to Make Water Droplets "Levitate" on Water (Using Vibrations)

Ziemlich beeindruckend. Allerdings bezweifle ich irgendwie, das ich das im Keller bei mir nachbauen könnte. Aber trotzdem sehr beeindruckend.
Was anscheinend auch eine (wenn auch weitaus geringere) Wirkung erzielt ist kalkhaltiges Wasser. Aber der Lautsprecher ist natürlich in einer anderen Liga.

That made my day!!!
Vielen Dank für dieses Tutorial! Ich versuche auch Wassertropfen zu fotografieren und bin dankbar um jede Hilfe!
Horido!

Na, das freut einen doch zu hören. Falls sonst noch Fragen sind: Ich bin immer gerne bereit sie zu beantworten.
Yoho!

I can't really understand how this should work. Unless you have water of different chemical composition than I do, I don't see how a drop landing on the surface could not penetrate it. The dipolar magnetic properties of H2O should guarantee this, if it's more or less pure water. This would require strong surface tension of your water. I was not able to reproduce this. I wonder if this has to do with e.g. the amount of calcium carbonate or so.

But there's also the surface tension. And even though water has it's dipolar abilities, the drop still has to overcome that one. And not only one time, but two times. The water surface has it's surface tension, and so does the drop. Even regualr water can let a paperclip float.
Ich hab's mit Leitungswasser und auch mal mit destilliertem Wasser probiert. Vielleicht verstärkt der Kalkanteil im Wasser den Effekt, aber wenn, dann habe ich das nicht feststellen können.

Google sagt, die Oberflächenspannung hängt im Wesentlichen von der Temperatur ab, aber mit auf 0 Grad gekühltem Wasser ging's auch nicht. Da ich das von sonst niemandem bisher gesehen hab, kann das so trivial ja auch nicht sein. Hmmm.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wenn ich das mache, dann ist das Wasser in etwa 5-8° kalt oder warm. Ich habe es noch nie mit warmen Wasser ausprobiert. Das war sowieso ein Zufallsprodukt. Ein Bild, das ich gemacht hatte, hatte so einen Tropfen und ich habe gerätselt, was das sein könnte. Also habe ich vier Wochen experimentiert. Zu Anfang dachte ich, es hätte was mit Modellkleber zu tun, da ich das Zeug überall verteilt hatte. Am Ende konnte ich das Experiment beliebig oft wiederholen (auch ohne Kleber). Mittlerweile bleit als Erklärung nur noch die Oberflächespannung.

ich hab mit etwas spühlmittel im tropfenden Wasser ganz gute Ergebnisse gehabt.

Spülmittel, hm. Habe ich noch nie versucht. Eigentlich reduziert Spülmittel ja die Oberflächenspannung, was die ganzen Sache theoretisch erschweren müsste. Deshalb habe ich das auch noch nie versucht. Aber das müsste ich mal ausprobieren.

Ich glaube, ich liebe dich! I've been looking for a tutorial like this for months. You've explained it all so simply and clearly
Congratulations on your DD for this and also one of the results - you deserve them both so much

Thanks! That's really nice to hear. Should you have any questions I'm always eager to help!

Oh dear, I'm actually finding it impossible to get water drops to float on top of the bowl of water. I have the bowl full until it could not take a single drop more without overflowing. I am dropping the water drops with an eye dropper because I can't get the straw to be water tight on the tap though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe the eye dropper produces drops that are too big. If the drop gets too big (and therefore too heavy) it will overcome the surface tension and just merge with the surface. Instead of a straw I now use a ramp made out of duct tape. The problem with the straw was that there was always some air inside that made it hard to dose it. The ramp is also more flexible than the straw, giving you more room to play. Remember: We're talking about 1-2 centimeters, not more.

Thank you Daniel, I shall have a play around with all of that information and see how I go
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Vielen liebe Dank, I will try that tomorrow The eye dropper was probably making 3-4mm drops.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
um... sorry for being a dummy here but how does the drop not break and join the water? how is it floating on top?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's because of the surface tension. Water is the only liquid that acts like this. If you put a staple on the water it floats on the surface. Water bugs use the same effect to stay on the water. If you put a staple on any other liquid (like gasoline) it will just sink to the buttom.
The waterdop has it's own surface tension as well. Now if a drop hits the water, the force of the impact makes it melt with the rest of the water. But if the falling distance of the drop is really small, the energy isn't high enough to overcome the surface tension of both the surface and the drop. As a result the drop "bounces" back like on a trampoline and stays for a few seconds on the surface.
