  • Its the effect with the Starch

    The two complex components amylose and amylopectin have a much bigger dimension than the little H2O molecules. By using pressure these little molecules are pressed into the spaces and your liquid seems to freeze. I used this effect at partys. Beat the liquid with your open hand, and bet, that there will be NO splash! You can also use this for your workout. Fill a huge tank with it an start walking fast on the surface of your substance. When getting slower, you will sink ;-) !!! Check it out...

    • Jesus was the first

      the effect of rising viscosity by pressure of suspensions is called "dilatancy".
      i think, this effect was founded by Jesus!

    • oobleck

      is what it is called, just google it. its an awsome experiment for the kids, and safe, just slightly messy. i did this for the kids and they loved it. keep them busy for hours.

  • it has to do with waters properties

    when it is at rest, the water molecules are able to bounce freely in between each other.
    When you are pushing on the starch you are forcing the starch to interact with each other and because of the shape of the molecules of starch it kinda builds a prison that traps the water and stands firm like a solid.

  • this

    has been done on a very larger scale on a british show called BRAINIAC. a man managed to run over a swimming pool filled with custard. until he stopped moving and sank.

  • It's liquid.

    It's slow moving liquid. Now can anyone tell me, is glass solid or liquid? It appears solid but give it a hundred year it would have moved. Google it, you'll be surprised!

  • It's the three stooges effect.

    When you try to get all the tiny particles to move at the same time, they crowd into each other and none of them can get through. If you give them time to go one at a time, they'll move a lot quicker.

  • combi of solid and liquid

    as i see it a bonding of solid and liquid.where as you try to compress this compound mixture its molecules also compress more to become solid like,and return to its original liquid form if pressure is not applied.
