So like really trying to force water around it the water would have no where to go what would happen?
The water disappears
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.
try covering yourself with oil and waiting for rain
A black hole would open up, don’t do it
I thought that only happened if you put a hydrophobic bucket inside a hydrophobic portable hole.
Not until you know the Seventh Symbol
Eight chevron locked— we’re going to Pegasus!
“Alright everyone, remember where we parked!”
black hole… sun…?
A black hole having the mass of the sund would have a Schwarzschild radius of circa 3 kilometers.

I’m sorry that’s simply not allowed
Eh nothing interesting. The water would be in the bucket but pool and bead much quicker, instead of spreading and getting the bucket ‘wet’. Kind of like a hydrophobic windshield coating.
Do… you think a coating repels water a foot away like some sort of anti-water magnet…?
How do you think Jesus walked on water?
I desperately want to know what you were imagining might happen when you asked this question.
A hovering blobb of liquid, equidistant from each wall, most likely.
Not a blobb, an orb
Like magnets
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.
The bucket would be dry.
The long awaited invention of anti-gravity.
Like, on the inside of the bucket? It’ll still hold water like normal.
However if you put it on the outside of the bucket nothing changes at all and this comment is a pointless thief of your time and attention. Sorry.
You’d have a bucket of water I’m pretty sure
The water sits in it, but only where gravity holds it. There would be a very pronounced meniscus at the top. That is, if you looked closely the water would dip down really far at the edges before it meets the bucket.
It’s not that hydrophobic substances can’t touch water, it’s that the force of surface tension will oppose it. Unless you’re an ant, surface tension isn’t that impressive vs. most other forces.
Edit: If you have an ant-sized bucket, the water may sit on top of it as a droplet rather than going in.
Well the bucket would get very scared.
hydrophobia is no laughing matter. 😂
well then, why are you laughing?!
The coating just keeps water from ‘sticking’ to it or from soaking in to cloth etc. it doesn’t do anything special aside from that, you’d just have a normal bucket of water in this case
which would probably pour the water out better than normal bucket due to less droplets still sticking in it.
Probably yeah. I seem to remember some sort of YouTube science video doing something like this.
makes me want to spray some in a urinal
