I thought of concrete vibrators. (probably not the best analogy though)

When people pour concrete they get a certain strength out of it. But if they vibrate it, air and excess water gets removed, and the concrete aligns together to become more cohesive.



I think this is a great analogy since air bubbles are easier (for me) to imagine than the polarity of particles
