Well, guys, don't u know what sort of sand is used here? Fraction, density and so on. How does it called? What is the material? Really need it.
-
omg that was actually really cool
-
ok...well i was just wondering if it was possible because i plan on doing a science fair project on fluid-like sand. but we plan on keeping a constant airflow through the sand
-
this is already fluid like... keeping a constant stream is possible... but in this research also is looked at influence of surrounding pressure so a constant flow is not useful...
The only difference would be that the sand is even more losely packed... the ball will then indeed fall straight to the bottom, looking more like a fluid
-
interesting. i didnt know that sand would do that. have you heard of keeping a constant stream of air through sand to make it have fluid like qualities?
-
no, once forces are degraded the sand stays that way for quite some time. No so called aging research has been done in detail yet
-
so there is no constant air flowing through the sand?
-
air was blown through the sand before the experiment. This to make sure that any cohesive forces are degraded.
The reason for the experiments is to gather knowledge on granular materials and see if they can be described by fluid like models as a similar jet is seen at impact on water
-
Thats sweet but does this sand have air flowing through it or is it just regular sand?
so cool. but what are the applications?

I'm not quite sure about the applications but I was reminded of polar gamma ray bursts which occur during black hole formation.
