Controlling the Bounce of a Bottle

tl;dr, "A central jet emerges nourished by the incoming water from the walls ... an effective force is exerted downward on the bottom ... the bounce after the impact depends dramatically on how much water is available to descend and hence ... on the initial rotational frequency", from the

The water in the bottle bounces instead so it doesn't work with empty or full bottles.

Curious about any applications.

accounting for their forces means a smoother ride for the passengers, and lower stresses on the connecting hardware
