Who would've thought shampoo could me so much fun? Scientists of the University of Twente made a video of leaping shampoo. This is actually a fluid effect called Kaye effect. Some fluids in motion can manifest this interesting effect. I don't know about the practical applications of it, but it's very beautiful! Enjoy!

This is kind of stupid, just thinking of the dirty water with all kinds of fluids washed from the road. It ain't my idea of fun! But, oh, well...when you're in Texas do as the Texans do.

Here's another cornstarch and water solution, which becomes a non-newtonian fluid. A Non-Newtonian fluid, has properties that cannot be described by classical fluids. In this video clip, the non-newtonian fluid is a mixture of corn starch and water.

This is a followup of Pool with non newtonian fluid. As seen there non-newtonian fluids can have different properties (fluid/liquid) depending on the stress. Here is an up-to-date application for the military: Liquid Armor. Enjoy! Liquid Armor - video powered by Metacafe
