Non-Newtonian Fluid Fun

Posted in Cool Projects by Eric on November 15th, 2006

So apparently mixing a certain combination of cornstarch and water allows you to create a non-Newtonian fluid. That’s fine and all, but when you turn said non-Newtonian fluid into a fun variety show activity, you get this:

That looks like way too much fun. I’m off to the store to pick up the largest kiddie pool I can find. Where the heck would I find large amounts of cornstarch at this hour of the night?

Edit: Here are some more videos of non-Newtonian videos doing wacky things.

Yes, I know the video is in Spanish, but who cares, they’re freaking walking on water!
