Liquid sound waves on a coffee can

I took apart a computer speaker and mounted it with hot glue inside a metal coffee can. Using sinegen.exe, I created waves that warped a liquid mixture. I used water and corn starch in a semi-fluid mixture(not the thickest possible).

what's name of this song???

[Lng4523841]

My ears hurt...

[gadgetmanjay]

so the acoustic vibrations are sustaining the pencildynamic force thus multiplying the poking effect...brilliant!

You could also have dripped water on it with an eye dropper. Or dropped a piece of gravel in it. Or bumped the side. Or stirred it. Or heated it. Or blowed on it. Or raised the frequency. Or lowered the frequency. Or used two speakers. Or stirred it with two pencils in opposite directions. Or sprinkled bits of things on it. But no, you only poked it with a pencil. Shame on you.

It's ALIVE! And pissed cuz you keep poking it with a pencil.

Wow, the way the surface of the coffee moves after its been poked with a pencil is like an exact simulation of some of the aspects of how particles act in quantum mechanics as well as the evolution of a QM system through time.

It's like being able to actually peer into the QM world. It's kinda freaky.
