How do geckos defy gravity? - Eleanor Nelsen

Jesus CHRIST this is something I have never heard of before. The world is full of surprises.

Why only 25ft up a wall?

Animation is fire lol

Loved this, perfect real life example which helped make Van Der Waals concept much easier to process. Thank you!

They cannot defy teflon though.

Great video

Also if you put a gecko on an non adhesive surface which does not produce any van der waals forces, like some frying pans, the gecko loses it's super power.

Wonderful explanation 👏 thank you

who knew geckos posses such advanced technology 😮

mission impossible dubai

If however, the nucleus of atom is off-centered, then you get a much weaker force than van der waals that manifests as dipole gravity on a macro-scale. It is the charge of the plasma core of planet that causes nucleus of atoms to become off-centered. Stars, planets and moons are all charged. Neutral things on surface of planet are attracted to both poles of gravity like iron filings are to a magnet.

What happens when we go above 25 feet??

Far out

they move slower when they are at the top than when they are at the side or ground, it mean they feel there own weight. So yeah they dont defy gravity.

i like this

Does that mean that they can't climb on a vertical and a good enough insulating material?

As I was watching this my friendly bedroom gecko came to watch as well.

Maybeeee.....you're gonna be the one that saves me.
And after all....your my van der vaalssssss

But the scale difference...how? How can a creature control molecular level of their cell surfaces?

That actually made me chuckle. XD Amazing animation and explanation!

Every time I see animals like this it just amazes me that some humans think it was built unintentionally.

Just remove the pads from a couple of a geckos toes and tape them to ya fingers

The truthful panther curiosly ruin because error intialy boil behind a puzzling stage. scandalous, pale organ

It climbs the waals.

I attained 96.6 percentage in my school like for me

It’s pronounced Van Der “Vaals” forces. It’s Dutch…. If you’re going to make a video teaching people, at-least teach them what is correct 😒

I have my own superhero universe that I made (which is what my channel's about) and one of the heroes is Gecko; who is basically Spider-Man but without the web shooters.

Fun fact: they also make you save 15% on car insurance

So they basically Spider-Man

Sure,but they drown in your pool and bathtub.

My guy got atomic Velcro finger prints

Does this mean that if I take a wire and plug it into the wall theoretically it should stick to the wall?

So you're saying that Tom Cruise copied the gecko to climb on Burj Khalifa?

You lost me at chemistry

Geckos are ripple users

Theory
As we know the positively charged ions and the negatively charged ions came together these molecules come together the force that is known as vanderwall force of attraction but is she but it really has when is geckos help here like projection so it attracts the ions and molecules that caused the checkout to stick where are you notice on no that they can support these here for a projection can support their hundred of their weight

And geckos have no idea how crazy engineered they are.

Geckos are simply cool

whenever you ask any question, you will find it here.
I LITERALLY GIND ANY THING THAT POPS IN MY MIND HERE!

"Do you believe in gravity?"
-Some Vampire

Geckos be like: science, b**ch!

I thought this is biology class. But this is physics class. 😭😭😭

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Can someone explain this so I don't have to watch this video for my class pls?

"Spatulae." I guess geckos use them to flip pancakes. ;-)

Good animation. Outro music is scary

House geckos are one of my favorite animals. I don't know why
