This spectacular technique is undoubtedly a new breakthrough in the incorporation of taste effects in signature dishes and drinks. <img width="3075" height="1377" width_o="3075" height_o="1377" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e4e29eefdc831ff89a14b139fdb110494ce52604c9176b00240d946380602c14/VOM-IMAGEN-WEB.jpg" data-mid="245996346" border="0" data-no-zoom src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e4e29eefdc831ff89a14b139fdb110494ce52604c9176b00240d946380602c14/VOM-IMAGEN-WEB.jpg" /> Clouds created with VOM can have any flavor and thanks to the helium they acquire the right volatility to be held vertically on the plate or support. These clouds can generate a spectacular rain effect on culinary creations: once the cloud&nbsp;is stabilized on its support, it loses volume due to the evaporation of the helium, so the&nbsp;liquid is progressively concentrated&nbsp;in the lower part of the cloud and falls drop by drop. This is possible thanks to the properties of the "Formula1" emulsion: it allows each user to elaborate clouds with different flavors and aromas. <img width="3155" height="4724" width_o="3155" height_o="4724" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fdfc66417c93671a8781535f904baef418112af35c91fcb7ef2e8b32dbcb8708/19-03924.jpg" data-mid="245996332" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fdfc66417c93671a8781535f904baef418112af35c91fcb7ef2e8b32dbcb8708/19-03924.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="2250" width_o="1500" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6abf199a706c7fa5b8081ff31f2205981aab3f3e7e24d163380da0eb9b6b05d3/NachoVOM2-cred.-Ana-Madrid.jpg" data-mid="245996326" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6abf199a706c7fa5b8081ff31f2205981aab3f3e7e24d163380da0eb9b6b05d3/NachoVOM2-cred.-Ana-Madrid.jpg" /> <img width="2250" height="1500" width_o="2250" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c29c7450f285a86d509c5578939fe4157da29b0ca0e240c63bf2a3bde99b7a61/Plat_VOM1-cred.-Ana-Madrid.jpg" data-mid="245996321" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c29c7450f285a86d509c5578939fe4157da29b0ca0e240c63bf2a3bde99b7a61/Plat_VOM1-cred.-Ana-Madrid.jpg" /> <img width="4608" height="3456" width_o="4608" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e628797a2595391673997d282b2e59d068bb679000d82e4ea098334f178d4ce/P1010217.jpg" data-mid="245996322" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1e628797a2595391673997d282b2e59d068bb679000d82e4ea098334f178d4ce/P1010217.jpg" /> <img width="3744" height="5616" width_o="3744" height_o="5616" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/95c6594356bf82fd613c3b30816e1d34981ff8e3fd7a839e79a917c0d6101115/VOM_Ph_PauCostantino8.jpg" data-mid="245996336" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/95c6594356bf82fd613c3b30816e1d34981ff8e3fd7a839e79a917c0d6101115/VOM_Ph_PauCostantino8.jpg" /> <img width="3149" height="4724" width_o="3149" height_o="4724" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2a11799ab123d13de3df8e109ea55346e6593faa9602162f56990d7a3b949e58/IMG_2640.jpg" data-mid="245996338" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2a11799ab123d13de3df8e109ea55346e6593faa9602162f56990d7a3b949e58/IMG_2640.jpg" /> <img width="405" height="720" width_o="405" height_o="720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cffa0a1f96b528c92f6ccfac942fd7f1f95bc491c534861366e0e9f86ba48f40/VOM-AROUND-THE-WORLD-min.gif" data-mid="245996350" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/405/i/cffa0a1f96b528c92f6ccfac942fd7f1f95bc491c534861366e0e9f86ba48f40/VOM-AROUND-THE-WORLD-min.gif" /> OBJECTIVEResearch into acoustic levitation, electromagnetic levitation and gases trying to break the limits of gravity, aiming to develop the first flying food tech in the earth.
