Non-Newtonian Fluid on a Speaker Cone

2011-11-26. Category & Tags: Others Others

Corn starch is a shear thickening non-Newtonian fluid meaning that it becomes more viscous when it is disturbed. When it’s hit repeatedly by something like a speaker cone it forms weird tendrils. The video was shot at 30 fps and the speaker cone was vibrating at 30 Hz which is why there is no blur. This is the original video with the actual sound of the speaker.

Condensed Magnetic Fluid

The fluid in the first part of the film has an increased concentration of iron which makes it more viscous and the peaks formed in the magnetic field have more the shape of needles. First separate sharp needles are formed in an increasing field at 01:15 in the film at impurities. The are much sharper than the ones in thin fluid at 02:50.

Согласно библейскому преданию после Всемирного потопа человечество было представлено одним народом, говорившим на одном языке. С востока люди пришли на землю Сеннаар, где решили построить город Вавилон и башню высотой до небес… На видео представлена магнитная жидкость с намагниченностью насыщения 100 кА/м. В 1 см3 такой магнитной жидкости содержится около 5∙1017 частиц магнетита со средним диаметром 10 нм. Используя постоянный магнит, можно получить пики с высотой около 3-х сантиметров. Несложно подсчитать, что от основания пика до его вершины выстраивается около 2∙106 частиц, покрытых слоем стабилизатора – поверхностно-активного вещества (длина молекулы ПАВ около 2 нм). ...

Amazing Fire Illusion

brusspup t-shirts! http://brusspup.spreadshirt.com/ This is a quick behind the scenes video of my Amazing Fire Illusion video. I had no idea what the effect of the lit candles would be or if this video illusion would even work. After lighting the first 10 candles or so..I realized how long it was going to take and was a few seconds away from giving up on the video. The lighting of the candles for this illusion took my dad and me about 30 minutes. ...

Watch this one in HD! The slow mo guys are well aware that water balloons are always good in slow motion. In this video, Gav and crew try (and fail many times) to pop a 6ft giant red balloon. Slow motion is between 2500fps and 1000fps. Balloon bought from http://giantballoons.co.uk/

WTF Illusion!

brusspup t-shirts! http://brusspup.spreadshirt.com/ I’d like to credit Kokichi Sugihara for the concept of this design. This illusion is a good workout for your brain. Definition of “illusion”: something that deceives by producing a false or misleading impression of reality. This is one of the most difficult illusions I’ve ever produced. There are similar illusions out there that I based this off of. I had no instructions on how to produce it so I spent weeks thinking about how to create it. ...
