1. • • Technically speaking, walking over pure water isn’t possible. The only way it can be done is by converting it to a high density fluid or one with high viscosity. Also, if you think you can run at 108 km/hr (30 m/s), then you’ll have the ability to run across water.

   Can water striders walk across water?

   • To walk across water, water striders could be taking advantage of surface tension and buoyancy. To take advantage of surface tension, all they need to do is not break the surface of the water molecules. To take advantage of buoyancy, the striders would have to be putting down as little pressure on the water as possible.

   Why can't we walk on water?

   • Defying gravity. By vigorously rowing along the surface of water, water striders create swirls that help propel them forward. David Hu, Brian Chan, John Bush, Georgia Institute of Technology There's a simple reason you can't walk on water: Humans are so big that the force of gravity overcomes the so-called surface tension of water, making us sink.

   How fast can you run on water?

   • To run on water, you’d have to zip over the top three times as fast – around 30 meters per second! The viscosity of a fluid is not a constant; it changes when the characteristics of a fluid are changed. Some fluids have enough viscosity to be able to support the weight of a human body under the right conditions.

   How many legs does a water strider have?

   • A water strider has six long legs. Those legs are spread wide across the water. Maybe this increased area lets them spread their weight out. That way, each leg exerts less pressure on the water and fails to break through the surface tension. They way, the water strider floats along on the surface.

   Can you run across water without sinking?

   • The only way it can be done is by converting the water to a high density fluid or one with high viscosity. Also, if someone could run at 108 km/hr (30 m/s), then they would be able to run across water. How many of us have tried to run into a swimming pool when we were kids, hoping to make it across without sinking?
