So like really trying to force water around it the water would have no where to go what would happen?
I’m not sure about the bucket but here’s what happens if you jump in a pool covered in hydrophobic stuff.

Like, on the inside of the bucket? It’ll still hold water like normal.
However if you put it on the outside of the bucket nothing changes at all and this comment is a pointless thief of your time and attention. Sorry.
I desperately want to know what you were imagining might happen when you asked this question.
A hovering blobb of liquid, equidistant from each wall, most likely.
That’s basically what you get, but the distance from each wall is about an atom thick.
Hey, that atom thick distance allows the water to not stick to the coating.
Like magnets
Not a blobb, an orb
The bucket would be dry.
The long awaited invention of anti-gravity.
Eh nothing interesting. The water would be in the bucket but pool and bead much quicker, instead of spreading and getting the bucket ‘wet’. Kind of like a hydrophobic windshield coating.
A black hole would open up, don’t do it
Not until you know the Seventh Symbol
Eight chevron locked— we’re going to Pegasus!
“Alright everyone, remember where we parked!”
I thought that only happened if you put a hydrophobic bucket inside a hydrophobic portable hole.
black hole… sun…?
A black hole having the mass of the sund would have a Schwarzschild radius of circa 3 kilometers.
Well the bucket would get very scared.
hydrophobia is no laughing matter. 😂
well then, why are you laughing?!
You ever use a paper cup? That’s basically what they are.
Made me think of the LiquiGlide ketchup video from a few years ago.
Did this stuff ever get used anywhere or just vaporware?
The water disappears
I’m sorry that’s simply not allowed
The water sits in it, but only where gravity holds it. There would be a very pronounced meniscus at the top. That is, if you looked closely the water would dip down really far at the edges before it meets the bucket.
It’s not that hydrophobic substances can’t touch water, it’s that the force of surface tension will oppose it. Unless you’re an ant, surface tension isn’t that impressive vs. most other forces.
Edit: If you have an ant-sized bucket, the water may sit on top of it as a droplet rather than going in.
try covering yourself with oil and waiting for rain
It’ll stay empty of course. If make a big enough bucket to stand in and you could go deep sea diving without an airtank.
What would happen if you lather yourself in soap so you’re really slippery and then you sit in a bath?
Actually you’d probably hurt yourself getting into the bath so maybe don’t try this.
I think with a jump and just the right angle of entry you can probably slide down the sloping face …and probably end up with two broken legs and a tap half-way up your asshole.
Maybe I’ve been watching too much Looney tunes
