Liquid Drops and Globules, Their Formation and Movements / Three lectures delivered to popular audiences

A series of popular lectures examines how liquid masses form, shape, and move, beginning with basic properties like mobility and the elastic behaviour of surfaces, then demonstrating surface-tension phenomena that produce spheres, pendant and rising drops, jets and columns, and automatic drop formation. Experiments and explanations cover interactions between immiscible liquids, combined vapor–liquid droplets, condensation, overheating and floating drops on heated plates, and dynamics of films converting into globules. Later material explores spreading and motion driven by solubility, ring and network patterns from rupturing films, attraction and merging of floating globules, and simple apparatus and techniques for reproducing the demonstrations.
