The reason that regolith can hold prints and sand can not. EXPERIMENT IDEA BY PHIL WEBB

Using my regolit simulant, I conducted an experiment brought up tby Phil Webb to me in a PM. This video will show the reason why regolith is able to hold a sharp and defined print while desert or beach sand can not. This video will give a little bit of insight into the particle characteristics between the two.
Phil, if this video is a "c-block" for your video idea, please let me know. It will be removed at your request. Thank you for the excellent idea. And again, I take NO CREDIT FOR THIS EXPERIMENT IDEA.

@occhamite Yes they would just cave in as it would dry up all the water he added to the experiment, agree?

[yesiamawizardjonny]

@NASAvsPETE1 I added ZERO water. Stop going around lying because you know you're wrong. PETE.

[NASAvsPETE1]

@yesiamawizardjonny even without water at that temp, cave in.

[yesiamawizardjonny]

@NASAvsPETE1 Pete, temperature won't destroy the particle structure of the simulant.

[yesiamawizardjonny]

@NASAvsPETE1 Give it up. There's no water. Just because an experiment disproves you doesn't mean it's fake.

[NASAvsPETE1]

@yesiamawizardjonny You could lightly spray it with water using a type I spray pump, maybe try this, now do I sound unstable?

[yesiamawizardjonny]

@NASAvsPETE1 So, yes, you do sound unstable.

Wow Vincent, this is a great piece of evidence you have contributed.

Undeniable!

@Changis158711 I gather thee could be someone I already know?

[NASAvsPETE1]

@occhamite Yes typical mr mite sending links for schizophrenia drugs clear work of the CIA no less. Laughable.

[occhamite]

@yesiamawizardjonny Don't worry Vince. Nobody whose opinion matters thinks you would do that. What I had in mind was this: You can bet that there is a molecule-thin layer of water on the particles of your "dry" test materials. This could make a significant difference in the behavior you observe - I don't say it did, just that it could. (cont'd)

[occhamite]

@yesiamawizardjonny (2of2) Heating the stuff will remove some of that water - a vacuum and heat would be better, and get closer to Lunar surface conditions. The thing that is hard to remember- even for people with a lot of experience - is that you should never dismiss seemingly insignificant factors. They often turn-out to be very significant. The TEST is all that matters.

@yesiamawizardjonny Yeh but it will soak up all that water.
