Aerosil nano powder behaves like water when stirred up and kept under vibration.

I'm very sure that you have a non-newtonian fluid there, and not a nano powder. Look at the way it coats the glass container...

@jib1000 I agree, from just watching the video the whole thing is rather unclear.

It was my first video on you tube and it was just meant for a test of uploading anything. In fact I even inspected the nano powder with an electron microscope and I am sure about the substance.

"Nano power"  LOL... Forcing air through minute particles of plastic, or rapidly vibrating it so it formed what appeared to be a fluid, was done over 20 years ago in plastic coating machines.

Yes, how true, just it is made with nano powder in this case. The grains were measured with an electron microscope in -Lotus Coating with Nano Glass- see there at 0:11.

The idea with the air mixed in was also my fist conclusion, that is why the -Cloud in a Glass- was checked in vacuum: It is nearly the same effect without air, it is based on electrical charging.

can't u use any other fine grained powder to get the effect?

[manf1234]

As mentioned:

The manufacturer Evonik describes the "positive effects" as Optimum rheology during processing, ...

the effect might be not quite as strong with other powder.

For a comparison one might stir a different powder in a bottle and measure the time until it settles.

some people went to wikipedia to get some info, just to look smart... I think..

What the music name ?

Dont breathe this.

[DjGisME]

i did that with a milk and Sweedish House Mafia song and was the same efffect

Keep up the beat. The consistency will be water eventually.

All I'm trying to say is visually, the average person can't tell it's powder.

I would say, in one clean video shoot to poor the powder in your hand after. But real nano powder would hurt very bad afterward. hmm, maybe toss a marble in with it

@manf1234 "The People". That's who you have to satisfy. Demonstrations are better executed when you show what your material can do under an uncommon situation. No one is impressed with the fluid because the same results can be replicated in many different conditions, some found around the house.

Short version: "nothing new"
