Happy Rainbow Water Droplet by D Sharon Pruitt CCby

That's the car of the future. It's a water droplet.

I've had this image of a water droplet for 20 years sitting on a hot bed.

A separator for petroleum production is a large vessel designed to separate production fluids into their constituent components of oil, gas and water.

Process When a sufficiently high voltage is applied to a liquid droplet, the body of the liquid becomes charged, and electrostatic repulsion counteracts the surface tension and the droplet is stretched at a critical point a stream of liquid erupts from the surface.

The system is adjusted so that there is a low probability of more than one cell per droplet.

This experiment used an electric field to prevent a charged droplet of oil from falling as a result of gravity.

In some systems, the charge is applied directly to the stream, and the droplet breaking off retains charge of the same sign as the stream.

Okay? Oil droplet forms through self assembly, has a chemical metabolism inside so it can use energy, and it uses that energy to move itself around in its environment.

In this protocell model, it's just an oil droplet, but a chemical metabolism inside that allows this protocell to use energy to do something, to actually become dynamic, as we'll see here.

The frame and radii of this web is made up of one type of silk, while the capture spiral is a composite of two different silks the filament and the sticky droplet.

So we're able to then see the self assembly of these oil droplet bodies again that we've seen previously, and the black spots inside of there represent this kind of black tar this diverse, very complex, organic black tar.

As you know, when you put oil and water together, they don't mix, but through self assembly we can get a nice oil droplet to form, and we can actually use this as a body for our artificial organism or for our protocell, as you will see later.
