These contraptions use nanotechnology to turn little drops of water into beautiful shapes that move as if they were alive.
Bandai’s Aqua Dance
Is this water? The drops rolling around Aqua Dance and Aqua Drop look as if they were alive. These two products were created by Bandai. The first is meant to decorate your home and the second one’s a game.
The surface area on these products is made of a material that was specially developed using nanotechnology. Since the material repels water, the drops keep their round shape and literally glide on the surface without wetting it.
The water on top of Aqua Drop looks like something magical and precious. The little drops of water form different shapes and their movement makes you think the water’s alive. The product’s water tank lets out drops of water that then form these beautiful shapes. The drops go back into the tank after completing the circuit, so no water goes to waste.
Aqua Drop is based on those famous games where you had to direct a little metal ball towards a certain spot, but here drops of water are used in place of these balls.
