In Videos: Diet Coke and Mentos in Zero Gravity
Even if gravitational pull concepts go over your head, this video is pretty mesmerizing. (The enchanting background song by Camille Saint-Saëns may have something to do with it too.) Under normal gravity conditions, Diet Coke bubbles form around Mentos and rise up through the soda to create a powerful stream of bubbles, with lots of soda touching the candy. However, in microgravity, there is no "up." Bubbles that form just stay near the Mento and inhibit more cola from touching it. It's nice to know that a team of scientists are working on "Menticular" effects on soda pop in space. Watch the video after the jump.
