Non-Newtonian Fluid on a Speaker Cone [video]
- gcr 16y agoAt first, I thought it was some kind of ferrofluid — those tend to behave rather similarly — but this is just corn starch, which behaves strangely when agitated like that.
- CapitalistCartr 16y agoThis is way better than the Big Bang Theory episode that did that. Dunno why, but theirs sucked compared to this.

- Murkin 16y agoOr just do this at home(we did at work). No need to ruin a speaker. 1) Mix cornstarch with water in shallow plastic bowl. 2) Hold the bowl firmly against an office-grade subwoofer 3) Turn bass+volume to max 4) Start experimenting with music (or noise generators of different frequencies) We had about 10 minutes of similar effects before the headache hit.
