It’s Goo! It’s Solid! It’s Goo! It’s Solid! It’s— both???
My mom always told me never to play with my food, but in this case, I think even she will agree to make an exception. Not only am I going to play with this food, you should too. It’s way too fun to pass on.
(Read more and watch the video...)

I just hope someone begins to post topics here. Let's begin teh debate!
Of course there's now a higher percentage of seat belt users. The non-users are slowly being killed off.

(Oh my gawd she is really cute)
If I did that experiment using a much deeper layer of starch/water fluid, how messy would it be to slap a fork against it really hard (as like in the vid)? Think it'll go under the liquid or even splash it around?

The entire point is that this liquid turns "solid" when theres pressure. It doesn't matter how deep it is, what matters is the concentration of corn starch vs. water..
"Brainiac" did an experiment where they filled an ENTIRE swimming pool with that thing and one of their people ran accross it barefoot. He didn't sink, as long as he ran (even in place) -- as long as his feet applied "instant" pressure (by tapping the goop) he stayed on top of them. The second he stopped moving, he slowly sunk.
It's a REEEEEEALLY fun experiment to do and play with, just watch out -- it's uber messy :)
oh, and.. <blush> thank you ;)

Hey Mooey, thanks for turning me on to this stuff - pretty interesting effects.
Here's something I found that combines NN Goo with vibration, makes for an interesting video... even if I am still figuring out exactly how it works :D

Yeah, I know this one, it's *UBER* cool. I just don't quite have the equipment for it (a subwoofer I can spare).
The major trouble with this stuff is that it's VEEEERRRYYY messy. I actually thought of putting other vibrating things under the substance, like those plates that are used for pottery (have one at school) but it became such a huge production, I ended up giving it up.
"The Big Bang Theory" had a segment with that bouncy goo[dness] on a subwoofer. Very amusing. :D

i am SOO gonna try that out. I had made the goop before and seen vids of the weird behaviour it has under vibrations but i didn't know you could generate those vibrations with a subwoofer. I'm so gonna try that.

in the summer i may do the super large scale stunt were you get a trough with the stuff in it to the brim then you run on it and you dont sink

What happens if we mix cornstarch with milk or vinegar? And why does it happens so? Please explain me...
