skydiver30960 0 #4 April 29, 2004 Point 1: What scares me is that all those engineering classes I took in college actually have me understanding the term "shear thickening fluid". The whole thing works like wet quicksand; slow movements and everything moves together, but with quick movements the liquid is "shocked" away and the particles build up on one another to stop motion. Pretty cool. Point 2: I readily agree (from direct experience) that any form of GOOD tequila will make you FEEL invincible. However, it's just a thinly veiled lie... you don't feel the pain of your injuries at that moment, but the next morning is a different story! Elvisio "I did WHAT last night?

mr2mk1g 10 #6 April 29, 2004 Make up a thick solution of cornflour and water or custard powder and water. The liquid will flow like syrup... but when hit will turn to a solid for a short time. Same principal. Fun science lesson for kids. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
