How to Make Dry Water...Weird Experiment Makes Water That's Not Wet

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.

Actually Clocks run slightly faster around the equator (than they do at the poles) due to a tiny planetary bulge that makes it slightly further away from the center of the earth's gravity, because the earth also has to rotate faster at the equator to keep up with the rest of the planet, these effects compensate for each other, causing both clocks to run at the same time. The difference in speed is so small that over a year the time disparity would only equate to less than a few seconds of age.

Something Or other thank you i was looking for a polite way of saying this... this is not water it is a solution of a powder and water that is like saying koolaid is water and we should be able to.. ugh nevermind im not gonna

[@GruvenHaus]

When someone thinks they know something and they don't... Fumed silica is manufactured by a continuous flame hydrolysis process of SiCl4. During this process, SiCl4 is converted into the gas phase and then reacts spontaneously and quantitatively in an oxyhydrogen flame with the intermediately formed water to produce the desired silicon dioxide. 2 H2 + O2 = 2 H2O SiCl4 + 2 H2O = SiO2 + 4 HCl 2 H2 + O2 + SiCl4 = SiO2 + 4 HCl (ii)During this chemical reaction a considerable amount of heat is released, which is eliminated in a cooling line. The only by-product is gaseous HCl which is separated from the fumed silica solid matter. SiO2 is then converted into the HYDROPHOBIC FUMED SILICA dimethyldichlorosilane (DDS) in a fluid-bed reactor. The silane reacts with the silanol groups primarily with the formation of Si-O-Si (CH3)2 units, and as a result the material acquires a hydrophobic character. The number of silanol groups is reduced during the treatment to about 30% of the initial value. (iii)Analogous reactions can also be carried out with other silanes and other HYDROPHILIC SILICA FUMES. NOW, you can quite clearly see that fumed silica is a powder by itself and in no way should it be confused with empty water...

Something Or other Stop it, these are experiments for kids. Just stop it. Mud is not the same as what he is doing here. He said the name of the powder and said that it was powder he would mix with the water. Once you mix it it separates the water molecules but the powder is still there. Making it feel like it's water, but it is dry because of the powder. Tired of all you virtuous signaling, trying to act as though you are smarter and he couldn't pull a fast one on ya. Guess what? He isn't trying to do that. It is an informational channel with experiments that you did not think of. So stop it.

This looks exactly how liquids are portrayed in simulations

[@halonothing1]

So, they simulate water by making it many times more viscous than it is in reality? Sounds like a pretty crappy simulation. A viscous fluid moves slower, so I'd guess that's why they made it so viscous. The computers couldn't handle the real time calculations. And rightly so, they're insanely complex.

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

I wonder if you can make something that would perform equivalently to fumed silica with less energy use than what you need to make actual fumed silica (which takes a lot of heat)? Also wonder if some materials other than silica would work for this purpose?

I love your experiments....I was curious if you would test some makeup with fun chemicals?? I just opened a lip gloss that's a couple of years old and it tastes and smells like Raid roach spray. I would love to see how some of your experiments react with some of the makeup we Use.

[@pickcomb332]

Its still wet water though, it just became wet inside a fumed silica which has absorbed all its wetness. [Also, wetness is the essence of beauty]

[@devpetdev]

its aDsorbed...the water is stuck to the silica in a crystalline (not liquid) manner, kind of like a hydration shell.

can the silica water still evaporate/collect bacteria though? It seems like it might. And can you separate the water out again easily? The closest thing I know to dry water that can be stored easily/indefinitely is epsom salt, it’s actually mostly water and if you cook it in a beaker leading to another container (distillation) you can get the pure water out of it
