Is capillarity anti-gravity?

[Christophe]

He laughs but he still tried to verify that the water that rises by capillary action will not then drip.

Hee hee hee!

Oops ... but what is this little task, just vertically at the end of the wick?

Otherwise, I never claimed (or thought) that the system was closed! Obviously the ambient temperature (rather energy) plays on the phenomenon!

If the tip of the wick is able by evaporation to condense drops inside the container, outside too. And they fall.
This is the reason why physicists do their thermodynamic experiments in thermostatic chambers.

I did not say that you had claimed it, I suspect that you understood it. I only said that you can not prove anything with your experience (except effect without any ambiguity because of its order of magnitude, for example a continuous flow of water in a cycle where capillarity would make the rise ).

I haven't said or claimed anything else from the start other than what I noticed... that is to say an overflow by capillarity and therefore a rise in mass and I gave you the conditions ... That's all, but you as you know that it is impossible you had to question my word and my findings ... That's what I blame you for!

Regarding you, this is called flipping your jacket like a mess *, since 24 hours ago you said: science-and-technology / capillarite-this-is-anti-gravity-t16290-100.html # p383364

If I have drops falling you should lower your valve a little!
...

But you won't get any.

Lost...

I said it. But I would prefer to see a photo of the drop that forms at the end of the wick (not so easy to detach a drop from its support!) Than to see a stain of which nothing says how it was formed. And why just a drop then, why it does not drip continuously?

He said it too ...

Sorry I have no better at the moment but we can see in the photos (in reality we can see better) that the tip of the wick is more red than the top ... which means that it is denser in liquid. ..You saw it I don't think?

For the continuous drip may not be dreaming ... eh! I said that the phenomenon was long from the start!

if it is long, the drop must take a long time to form, and therefore must remain long in a well-formed position and not yet detached, so you should have time to observe and photograph it, weird your story ...

it just means that the evaporation has concentrated the dye at the top of the wick ... moreover your drop does not seem justly colored!

No I mean "at the bottom of the top of the curved bit down" (hey have to follow! ).

We can see it quite well in this photo:

The tip of the wick is also wetter than the rest but it is difficult to show in photos ...

If the drop had not been colored I could not have taken a photo: it is a trace of dye ...

Good there is more than to wait for the other (possible) drops ...

bah yes then the dye molecules have a lower potential energy at the bottom than at the top, it's normal that its concentration is higher.

same reason (and it's basically the same reason that the pressure drops with altitude!).

to the eye it looks rather wet spot without dye, but hey it may also be that by handling the wick you dropped a droplet;). In any case your close-up photo does not show any drop in formation ready to fall, and as I said the detachment of a drop is not so simple!

Good there is more than to wait for the other (possible) drops ...

with the photo of the drop in formation please!

[Christophe]

Yep ... there's more patience!

It is possible for the manipulation .... but I hadn't manipulated anything at all during the 1st experiment (object of the creation of this subject) ... my error was not to take photos at this time there (not thought ..)
