BillyVance 34 #12 April 13, 2009 Quote Quote it is the pointy end of the raindrops that hurt so much!!! There is no pointy end of a raindrop they are round. Exactly. The only time they are pointy is when dripping out of a faucet or off any surface, and then only for a second. I've done the rain jump before. Never again.

Here's some water drops, they don't have a pointy end that I've seen yet. I may do an experiment inside by dripping some water down the center of a vertical pipe in the barn and taking pictures of what comes out the bottom. That way they would be at terminal velocity and the focusing would be much easier. I took about 800 pictures one weekend to get these and a few others.

But there's a tiny round drop detached above the larger round actual drop of water. I believe that is the pointy part in question.\\> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
