Nothing special, just a simple experiment showing the Leidenfrost effect where the drop of water floats on top of a bubble of steam

    you could also say that, because tpt's effects, the water is being pushed up by the steam and is just stopping the water from boiling. However, it is still very nice. +1

    You can do this at home! Heat up a pan for about 30 seconds on 2/3 flame; and drop a teaspoon of water on it!

    You don't need to do it this excessively.

    Is it because there's no space on the bottom of the water that keeps it from going away as fast? (Using only the ten hundred most used words in this comment) :)
