Do more experiments with corn starch
Make some soap run into buckets
"File:" cannot be used as a page name in this wiki.
[edit] Shopping
Everything bought should have a bill with your name and the mention SciFe so that it can go to the correct budget.
Here is the shopping list established last meeting:
- supermarket
- big transparent bowl (for kaye effect on curved surfaces)
- various soaps (hand dish washing) and shapoos to test for kaye effect
- other common household items (mayo, ketchup, caramel topping ...) showing non newtonian properties
- Hornbach is open until 19:00
- cement buckets (to mix corn starch)
- drill (a normal power drill, with slow gear)
- mixing bit for the drill (Kenn brought one, we need a second one)
- 3m*1m pool plastic (take 2 or twice the size, in case one breaks)
- 3x 2m*0.4m wood (for the sides and the floor of the pool)
- 2x 0.4m*0.4m wood (for the heads of the pool)
- 5m pipe isolation (for the top pool edge)
- tons of power tape (no we will not build the pool out of power tape like mythbusters)
- steel angles to fix the wooden planks
- screws
- aquarium water pump
- fountain bed (to avoid falling water from spashing)
- water hose
[edit] Still no source how to get big amount of corn starch!!!
provencale: who can go there?
[edit] Need list of people who will be at the actual festival
This day will be in 2 groups
- a group to create the experiments for the kids
- make corn starch
- play around with it
- drop stuff on it
- try to pour soap to create the kaye effect
- a group to create the public event
- loudspeaker corn starch
- kaye effect setup (continuous running, with a pump)
- corn starch pool design
- cleaning station design (another pump)
Ideas:
- water pump: just use an aquarium pump or fountain pump
- soap pump: probably print it <= this did not work well!
- pool: wood planks covered with thick foil and on the top edges foam to isolate pipes
- loudspeaker: there is a plexi tube available, it's not very wide, but it's free. Put speaker on bottom, corn starch can't escape. Coat the tube with lotus-effect cleaner. (need to aquire correct size speaker(s) for that)
- big speakers: have several sets of stretched foil in a frame to quickly put on the speaker
- creating big amounts of corn starch: get a drill with mixer and solid buckets
