[Phys-l] Oobleck



Our Physics Club is excited to take on the challenge of setting up a large-ish scale demonstration of a non-newtonian fluid for an annual spring bacchanalian affair that is a tradition at Le Moyne.

I have some limited experience with smaller-scale demonstrations with your basic corn-starch & water oobleck. I have found it to be a giant PITA to mix and KEEP mixed. The Club is interested in any and all advice and wisdom from anyone who has put on a larger scale demo – best proportions, advice on how best to mix the stuff and KEEP it mixed for a stretch of at least a few hours, and so forth.

Anyone done this?

Thanks,
David Craig
