Description
We observe aperiodic mechanical oscillations of a drop of oxidant solution placed around an iron stick on a mercury surface. These oscillations are explained as a visual manifestation of electrochemical oscillations at the iron-solution interface that, via electrocapillarity, lead to changes of the surface tension at the drop's bottom
