[en] Compound drops are made of a millimetric water drop encapsulated by an oil shell. They are laid on a high viscosity oil bath which is vertically vibrated. When the forcing acceleration is higher than a given threshold, compound drops can bounce on the surface. We show that above an another threshold a double emulsion occurs in the drop. We measured this emulsion threshold for various size and water/oil volume ratio of the compound drop.
