Mum: wtf are you doing? Me: hammering bowls of fluids Science!

Something that wasn't mentioned was how Non-Newtonian fluids are broken down further into 3 different classes, Plastic, Psuedoplastic, and Dilatant. Plastic and psuedoplastic fluids are also called shear thinning, because the more force, or shear, is applied, the more fluid they become. However, plastic fluids need a certain amount of force to be applied before they'll start to move. Psuedoplastic fluids will move as soon as force is applied. Ketchup is a plastic fluid. Paint is psuedoplastic.

GOD! If somebody fell into a swimming pool of that, it would hurt a lot, then you would drown!

I really like this. because I am learning ''non-Newtonian fluids'' at school
@komali100 10 years ago

Dilatant is what is called shear thickening because it becomes less fluid, or more viscous, when more force is applied. The corn starch solution mentioned in the video is a good example of this.

This is very interesting and amazingly explained, thanks for sharing

Thanks for the great video! I have tried this DIY of non-Newtonian fluid before and as I poured excess water, it failed and become something just like normal liquids.... Remember don't add too much water...

THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL! thank you for the visiual representation.

Really a nice explanation. I use this video to explain the concept to my students. Thank you!

Man this would be borderline magic for me as a kid if they showed it in school but no all they do is let you smell some sulphur

Now I understand the concept of it, tyvm and nice video!

Wow. So cool. Thanks ScienceMan!

This is really cool! I never knew there were actual terms to these kind of things.

Shampoo is speciafically designed to be viscous unless you shear it with your hands, so it doesn't run off your hands, but spreads nicely when you shear it while applying to your hair

thank you for the video. I needed that info for my homework!
