The man who walked on water

Is it really possible to walk on water? No it isn't, not yet, but it is possible to walk on a special mixture composed of water and flour! Just watch that video! :)
The mixture the man is walking on is about as liquid as a normall pancack dough but when applied pressure on it becomes as hard as ice! Beleive it or not this mixture is simply composed of water and corn flour and is labeled with the weird name of loobleck!
"How dos it work?" You might ask. The mixture still has some microscopic peices of flour left in them and ,when they should have had time to climb over each other and let the water dominate the space, they instead are compressed by the jump of a human they just freeze in their position enabke to leave space for the water liquid.
Now that you know how to do it: Ready to try it in your kitchen!? :P

Musical Levitation


"Levitation!? That's like flying isn't it? Like for superheroes?" Yes but not any more! Scientist have discovered how to make a drop of water fly only with music!! "Impossible" you say well watch that video!

The small drops are placed right over a speeker that is putten to 22 k, a frequency that humans can't hear. But a sound is a vibration of a gaz in our atmosphere as described in http://www.labosvj.fr if we hear music coming from a speaker it means that its membrane hit the other molecules hard which hit the others... ext, until it hits your ear, as I would call it : The Domino Effect! But there there are 2 speakers one at the bottom one at the top, the sound coming from the top will go down, the sound coming from the bottom will come up, these vibrations will hit the droplets strong enough on both side,keeping the droplets stuck in the middle unable to fall or go up.

Sadly, for now, this only works with those very light drops and we couldn't fly........ YET! But this discovery could be very useful in the future as this discover will be used in the making of new medecins since it enable scientists to work with it but without touching it!

Lets see what will fly next!?
See you next week!
