Food Coloring, Fluid Dynamics, and an Awesome Lab Demo
This video starts out in a fairly innocuous way. Some colored drops of corn syrup are slowly mixed by a rotating cylinder. Ho-hum, right?
Well, wait until you see what happens when the handle is turned backwards. This is all a demonstration of how certain liquids can flow without turbulence, and how delicate hands can disassemble and reassemble the “sheets” of colored liquid.
Wow, indeed.

WOW that’s very cool.
