His still-functioning hand was mostly likely saved thanks to something called the Leidenfrost Effect. As the folk from Engineers Edge explain, this occurs when a liquid comes into contact with something much hotter than its boiling point. When this happens, the bottom of the water droplet evaporatesÃÂ ...

Everyone likes a good party trick, but the star of a viral Reddit video set a new standard for mind-boggling stunts when he passed his bare hand through a stream of molten metal. In the video, posted to r/WTF on Wednesday, a bald-headed man, hanging out in a metal smelting plant, removes his protectiveÃÂ ...

Water droplets float in a hot pan because of the so-called Leidenfrost effect. Now, physicists have discovered a variation: the elastic Leidenfrost effect. It explains why hydrogel balls jump around on a hot plate making high-pitched sounds. They have published the results of their study in Nature Physics.

Why does water skitter across a hotplate in tiny droplets? You'd expect water exposed to a boiling-hot surface to evaporate quickly and disappear in a puff of steam – but this is not the case. The behaviour is due to a phenomenon known as the Leidenfrost effect, after the 18th-century German doctor whoÃÂ ...

In other words, what Janssens noticed was the acetone droplets were not mixing with the water because of their own form of the Leidenfrost effect, more commonly observed in water droplets on solid hot surfaces.

Or, second, the Leidenfrost effect "can help produce a liquid droplet dancing on a hot surface by floating it on a cushion of its own vapor," he added. "The vapor film between the droplet and heated surface allows the droplet to bounce off the surface—also known as the 'dynamic Leidenfrost phenomenon.'".
