Re: [Phys-l] viscous fluid



Yes, LIQUID PRELL, which (according to the 2013 year-old man {Mel Brooks}) is the greatest achievement of modern man!

I've used shampoo for a viscous drag on a ball dropping through a fluid
lab exercise. I'd estimate that we've had the same bottles of shampoo
in the lab for about 15 years and they worked fine last week. Liquid
hand soap is pretty viscous too.

Subject: [Phys-l] viscous fluid

I am looking for a similar fluid to that in an Ooze Tube -- the clear
cylinder with two halves connected by a small opening. When the tube
is
inverted, it takes a relatively long time for the colored fluid to
"ooze"
through the hole. I want to make a larger version of this using 1-L
bottles and a Tornado Tube connector.

I was planning to use honey. Does anyone have any experience with
this?
Which brand honeys are most viscous? And do I have to worry about
crystallization? How about Karo syrup or molasses? I believe these
flow
more easily than honey. Other viscous (and relatively clear) fluids?
