Can a Raspberry Pi swim? #PiDay @Raspberry_Pi

Rasim Muratovic (aka Rasmurtech) has been submerging a Raspberry Pi in mineral oil.

The thing about mineral oil is that while it looks just like water at a glance, it isn’t electrically conductive. This makes it fun to play with.

The keyboard, power, and Ethernet cables are all plugged into the board, which is also connected to a monitor. When Rasim connected the power cable to a power source, the submerged Raspberry Pi’s LED successfully flashed green and it starting booting, as shown on the monitor. Rasim went on to log in using his keyboard and mouse, and loaded a graphical user interface. Just like you’d do with any ordinary Raspberry Pi that isn’t immersed in a tub of liquid.
