CASE STUDY: Non-Newtonian Fluid Experiment | Elemental Intel

追加: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]Watch what happens when you mix cornstarch and water to create a non-Newtonian fluid.

[00:00:05]This unusual substance behaves like a solid when subjected to stress or pressure, but flows like a liquid when the pressure is removed.

[00:00:12]The science behind it is simple. The cornstarch particles absorb the water and swell, creating a network of particles that lock together under stress.

[00:00:21]But here's the amazing part. If you apply enough pressure, you can actually walk on this fluid.

[00:00:26]The payoff is shocking. A person can stand on a pool of this mixture without sinking.

[00:00:32]It's a mind-bending demonstration of physics in action.

[00:00:36]And that's why non-Newtonian fluids are a fascinating topic in the world of physics [music] and science, making this experiment truly amazing.
