Non-Newtonian bass line

What acts like a fluid when you run your finger through it slowly but a solid when you pull your finger through quickly? The answer: a non-Newtonian fluid, or cornflour and water to you and me.

Mr Baker from Thomas Hardye School used the cornflour mix to demonstrate vibrations from a loud speaker. By putting fluid on an amp and cranking up the volume, the cornflour rides the standing waves generated.

Cornflour + water + loud amp = good vibrations.

Play is the basis of all learning. Scientific knowledge of standing waves is essential to the wherewithall required to make such things as this computer. Next time you look at a guitar string that has been plucked, remember what you are seeing is a standing wave. What's a standing wave? Look it up. You're not too old to learn. I once knew a scaffolder who's boss told him men like him were ten a penny....he went and became a surgeon. I'm not joking.

Spex357 - and some people paid attention in their science classes. Now get back to work - can I have fries with that?

very interesting! cornflour rocks!

Some people get paid for grafting and others get paid for messing with Cornflour, fantastic stuff.
