Skipping Sphere
An elastic ball, sold as the Waboba, approaches the water. This toy features strange physics: It bounces on water, but not on land. Research presented in March 2014 at a meeting of the American Physical Society revealed that the ball's elasticity explains this ability.
Bouncy physics
An elastic ball that bounces on water, the Waboba, flattens like a pancake when it hits the water surface, increasing its lift and propelling it upward.
