The surface tension of water is no joke, it could be real...

Actually, if you can orient the rosintons correctly it is theoretically possible to get water to congluminize like that. It's all down to getting your dentrons to behave. The Faraday principle (well, the revised special Faraday principle) shows that dentronized rosintons can hold near-right obtuse angles under forces as strong as 3gs without any external support. The the real problem lies in finding water with sufficient rosinton content, which is why he suggests the use of distilled water. The mineral content in most drinking water by nature displaces rosintons at a 2-to-one ratio.

It's a lot easier to do in a fuldronizer, where you can control and optimize the number of free-radical dentrons. Rosintons are attracted to each other under conditions of dentronization, so it becomes a self-solving problem.

And, of course, you have to use a plastic cup, because glass will interfere with dentronization. I think metal would work (particularly stainless steel) but I'd have to look into it more.

I believe NASA's actually looking at this as a method of creating ultra-efficient self-mixing fuels to reduce fuel loads on interplanetary trips.

The only way where I could believe it is if it were in space at wieghtlessness. I would think surface tension could hold it togeter until it spins too fast.

I think it would need to be thicker or more mucusy than water to keep form, like eggs, dilluted glue or syrup or something. But still dont believe it with gravity. MoD do you have a pic or simulation or have a more elborate explaination? hard to understand the theory

im with MOD here... theres more "magic" out there than you think...
Many times an "outside the box" simple science answer and a little slight of hand is all you need.

For instance, whiskey water, frozen smoke, impermeable water...
Not saying this guys video is legit or blatantly fake, but theres always something up the magicians sleeve...

Idk what all the mumbo jumbo you guys are talking about in this thread. I'll give my opinion on how this was done.

The whole contraption looks suspiciously bright imo for such a dark room. Like WAY too bright. Compare it to the workbench in the back. Something about the wood just doesn't seem right. My theory is he made that contraption in something like solid works. You can easily design stuff like that and even create accurate shadows. That, by far is the easiest solution.

And it seems like he messed up the shadows on the second post/tower. When he walks by at about 0:33, his shadow doesn't seem to carry over quite right to post #2. Also, the way the water flows just doesn't seem quite right either.

Either way, it sure ain't no magic. Are you guys seriously saying he could be using "special" water???? lol. This ain't happening like he wants you to believe unless the laws of physics have changed. Newton is rolling in his grave laughing right now. It's definitely cgi or whatever you want to call it. The only other answer would be a pump hidden somewhere, which I discard the idea of because the whole thing looks computer generated.

Never heard of a rossinton, but I spelled rosinton (rose-in-ton) just fine.

The one handed 2 second removal of a tshirt is my favorite new way to undress!
Although I dont rip the shirt, i still feel like hulk hogan or a lifeguard lol.
