1) In this video, I am focused on steering the little boat solely through Water Bending. Feel free to stop watching at around 4m50s. Once the boat hits the side it\'s hard to break the surface tension.
2) In this experiment, I focus on moving the boat directly rather than moving the water. If you compare the videos; part_01 has more water turbulence. In any case, this did not go so well. I got caught in a sort of psi_wheel spin by default lol:) Though, I do finally gain control at around 7m20s with a frozen construct.
3) Constructs to the rescue! This time I am still focused directly on the boat. However, I apply a construct...sort of based on vector animation paths. It worked so much better than I thought it would! It\'s a good thing, because the psi_wheel spin is really stuck in my noggin:)
While I admire you and your progress, please don\'t call it \"water-bending\". I know, I love Avatar: The Last Airbender, too, and that\'s what you call it and how you understand and think of it, but while on the forums please call it Hydro/Water-PK. Most people frown upon people who use fluff or made-up terms.
On a side note, I think it\'s really cool what you are doing with these experiments. I would really love to hear it if you manage to get the water to freeze or if you are actually able to move it.
This is silly semantics; these are just words. For example, let\'s look at the descriptions of: Sanitation worker and garbage man. These descriptions connote different associations for people, but in the end, we just need the trash picked up. What matters is the doing. What if the only language I spoke was Latin; would that fact somehow alter the PK event? Approval means nothing to me. I post videos & share ideas to help others, the same way I needed help when I started:)
I agree on the terminology rule here. We can come up with hundreds of terms for one simple technique (ie. Aquakinesis, hydrokinesis, waterkinesis, waterbending, water-telepathy etc.) and it\'ll confuse everybody. While all the terms maybe correct, like the scientific community, we have to agree on a set of terms to use so that we don\'t get confused.
For instance, instead of saying water, I could say dihydrogen monoxide, hydrogen hydroxide, hydrogen oxide, hydroxic acid, hydroxylic acid, hydroxilic acid, ?-oxido dihydrogen, and the most recent term....oxidane. While all of these terms are scientifically correct for water, they can confuse the common person or even the seasoned scientist. And that\'s just for one compound....imagine the nightmare of naming organic compounds! Which is why we have IUPAC to control the use of official terms so that they don\'t get out of hand and confuse others. Let\'s take a lesson from that and do the same.
Getting back to the original topic, I\'m inspired by your experiment and it just goes to show that there is more than one way to accomplish a task. It\'s all up to you on how you can accomplish something such as moving that piece of foil across water.

Re: elemental experiments
I wouldn\'t call it Water-Bending, I would call it Hydrokinesis.
