Amazing Liquid : cornstarch + water + shake (video)

This is an amazing liquid. It does things that will raise a few eye brows… Have you ever thought about poking a hole in a liquid and the hole not disappearing after its been poked… This liquid does it….

Holy crap that’s weird
This is called a suspension, simple to make yourself just take a small amount of water add some cornstartch and enjoy. You can roll it into a ball but as soon as you stop rolling it literally “melts” in your hand, smack it and it will harden up on contact only to again “melt” as soon as the force or pressure is released.
:) The creation of a non-Newtonian fluid
thats just way beyond stupid i think…..
They did this on ‘brainiacs’, – a childrens science show in the UK. They filled a swimming pool with custard – which contains cornstarch and a man (Jesus?) walked across it.
By Jesus I assume you mean Jon Tickle, he is like the most awesome person in the world.
Loved it. Back when I was using pot and LSD, a favorite thing for us to all do was make this goo and then add bits of food coloring and play with it for hours — watching it refuse to behave like a “normal” liquid/gravy.
Brought back some great memories!
That looks so weird… espcially the fingers. Looks like a typical hollywood rendition of hell…
That fingers thing could totally be in a horror film.
That’s just crazy! How did anyone even think of that.
It looks like some kind of liquid jello.
woah i’ve got to try that.
What forces could possibly be acting upon the liquid to keep it from closing in on the hole produced? Are these forces simply derived from the vibration applied? If so, what conversion can be calculated to understand such a phenomena? Also, can anyone think of other applications where such a technology could benefit other liquids of like components?
What could you use to chake it like that? I am so fascinated by those damn creepy crawly finger things…
yeah that’s pretty weird.. I just recently experiimented with that in my Science class.. coolest thing but awfully weird
how do you make the fingers? does any1 kno? because i am doing the cornstarch and water thing for a science fair and i think it would boost me some points because its for extra credit. and how did the hole stay it does not for me
and how do you make the waves?
how do you make the fingers? does any1 kno? because im doing it for a science fair
To make the fingers you have to use vibrations… use a regular speaker or bass speaker to generate vibrations through a program or music
