This experiment is an attempt to create the Weissenberg Effect in common fluids by spinning a stainless steel rod in a fluid reservoir. The experiment was performed by Matt Mason and Jaden T. Perry, Intermediate Fluid Mechanics students at the University of Utah. The presiding professor was Dr. Eric Pardyjak.

  • Dude just because you think fluid is geometric, doesn't mean it is!!

  • no es muy demostrativo!

  • @wiglaf13 Thanks much, and I meant no disrespect to the experiment. It only took me 2 years to reply. Better late than never? Haha.

  • need to run a lot slower, steel isnt always the best material for the surface tension either, you have shear thinning going on more than you have the weisenberg effect with slick steel and high rpm. try a stable rod sanded rod at a lower rpm

  • Oh and the rod is 'swirling around' like... excentrically (excuse my bad english) take double bearings, make a proper experiment.

  • Bad experiment. you move the rod yourself, you cannot get a good reading because of that. Try measuring in circumference speed, not plain rotational speed. try different diameters, with the same circumferential speed. Do try motoroil as well.

  • Use the volume slider, genius.

  • Thank you

    You have saved me so much time and money lol

  • The music should be quieter
