in a smaller pool, of course. I'm not going to waste a thousand bucks to do it on this scale

Re: I want to do this

you just got the hots for the nerd with glasses Adam

btw, thousands of dollars??? what does cornstarch cost in KC?

Re: I want to do this

2 bucks for 16 ounces. at 2 parts cornstarch 1 part water, I'd need a lot more than 50 boxes to fill a pool the size they were using.

Do you have a paypal account? I'd sponsor you if you run over it nekid with your trunks on your head and post the flick on youtube

Re: I want to do this

how much?

the slower you run, the more money you'll get. who else is in?

Re: I want to do this

what the heck is non-newtonian fluid anyways ?

Re: I want to do this

fluid that exhibits solid properties at normal temps (farenheight 50-90 range)

Re: I want to do this

^^^ A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid in which the viscosity changes with the applied strain rate. As a result, non-Newtonian fluids may not have a well-defined viscosity.

Although the concept of viscosity is commonly used to characterize a material, it can be inadequate to describe the mechanical behavior of a substance, particularly non-Newtonian fluids. They are best studied through several other rheological properties which relate the relations between the stress and strain tensors under many different flow conditions, such as oscillatory shear, or extensional flow which are measured using different devices or rheometers. The rheological properties are better studied using tensor-valued constitutive equations, which are common in the field of continuum mechanics.

jello would be a fliud, so is glass beleive it or not.

Re: I want to do this

I read that in wikipedia too but what the heck does "a fluid in which the viscosity changes with the applied strain rate" mean ? does it become more viscous under pressure or lighter?
