Capillary repulsion demonstration. The ball at top centre is balancing on the meniscus of a water column produced by surface tension and capillary action. Even if displaced slightly from the centre of the meniscus,the ball will be drawn back to the centre. This is a combined effect of surface tension and capillary repulsion.
