So like really trying to force water around it the water would have no where to go what would happen?

I’m sorry that’s simply not allowed
Basically the same thing as when you fill a non-stick pan with water. Hydrophobic coatings only repel water in a way so that it doesn’t stick to the surface. That’s why they use hydrophobic coatings on windshields, so the droplets of water slide easily and quickly.
Granted, the effect is more noticeable with hydrophobic coating than with non-stick coating, but if you were expecting the water to visibly float away from the walls, that won’t happen with either. Reality is sometimes disappointing, huh?
Pretty sure you’d get one big bead of water. Something much more interesting are superfluids.
Basically, the water would be held inside the bucket in the shape of the bucket without getting the bucket wet, because the hydrophobic coating would prevent the water from touching the bucket, however the water would still touch the hydrophobic coating, it just will not stick to the hydrophobic coating.
What would happen if you lather yourself in soap so you’re really slippery and then you sit in a bath?
Actually you’d probably hurt yourself getting into the bath so maybe don’t try this.
I think with a jump and just the right angle of entry you can probably slide down the sloping face …and probably end up with two broken legs and a tap half-way up your asshole.
Maybe I’ve been watching too much Looney tunes
I think some of us admit to doing this as kids.
I’m not sure about the bucket but here’s what happens if you jump in a pool covered in hydrophobic stuff.
It’ll stay empty of course. If make a big enough bucket to stand in and you could go deep sea diving without an airtank.
I desperately want to know what you were imagining might happen when you asked this question.
The bucket would be dry.
A hovering blobb of liquid, equidistant from each wall, most likely.
That’s basically what you get, but the distance from each wall is about an atom thick.
Hey, that atom thick distance allows the water to not stick to the coating.
Like magnets
Not a blobb, an orb
Or maybe explosive splashing.
The long awaited invention of anti-gravity.
Don’t listen to the jeering goons, OP. Keep asking questions. 🤜🤛
Well the bucket would get very scared.
hydrophobia is no laughing matter. 😂
well then, why are you laughing?!
A black hole would open up, don’t do it
black hole… sun…?
A black hole having the mass of the sund would have a Schwarzschild radius of circa 3 kilometers.
Not until you know the Seventh Symbol
Eight chevron locked— we’re going to Pegasus!
“Alright everyone, remember where we parked!”
I thought that only happened if you put a hydrophobic bucket inside a hydrophobic portable hole.
Made me think of the LiquiGlide ketchup video from a few years ago.
Did this stuff ever get used anywhere or just vaporware?
makes me want to spray some in a urinal
The water disappears
