Leidenfrost Drop Ratchet Impact Dynamics
A drop deposited on a sufficiently hot substrate generates its own vapor cushion preventing contact with the surface. This vapor layer is responsible for the low friction and long lifetime of the drop. Falling water droplets will even bounce on their own vapor layer. By varying the geometry of a sur...
