How a liquid lens works (electrowetting)
A liquid lens works by changing the shape of a water drop by creating an electrostatic field that pulls on the water molecules. I show how water can be affected by a high voltage supply and an electrostatically charged comb.
The process by which the droplet changes shape is known as electrowetting.
