I like to imagine how confused and probably scared the first person to make ooblec was.
Like you spilled water on your cornstarch and now it magically becomes a solid whenever you touch it and try to clean it up.
solid liquid

It mixes because every time the direction changes, the forces balance each other out for a fraction of a second.
man i didnt even consider that. i think that makes more sense than it just low shear rates

I read the title as "Can you accidentally mix oobleck into a pink smoothie?"
WAIT WTF ME TOO
@@maze7050 OH WAIT
i read it as a pink shake 😭
I think this makes perfect sense. It's still a fluid. It does experience shear thickening, but it can only get so thick without changing into a solid. A violent enough force can mix even the thickest of liquids.
Also the shaker isn't only high shears, it's wobbling meaning it's expierencing a variety of forces. When the oscillator changes direction the local shear force hits zero before increasing again in the other direction.
@@blondetrees tru tru
@@blondetrees yeah half my brains said no. The other half split thinking that the different(varying/moving) forces might affect it, and if the shaker had enough force to overcome the sheer thickening properties...or whatever it's called
P.S. I love the name BLONDETREES. Good one
i think its cause to harden, the water sorta gets pushed away, so in the can it just has nowhere to go
@@blondetrees was also thinking this. The way this shaker works it gives a little break to the oobleck in between each movement of the shaking mechanism, very very quickly

It makes a mess dont try it.. i did it myself a few years ago after my mom brought home a huge basket full of oobleck. Its really cool walking on it btw
“Will it blend? That is the question.”
I dont know how to explain it. It just splattered everywhetw
You piss it off and it tries to eat you.
You get a destroyed Blender
This is actually really easy to make. I accidentally made it one day. Just mix a ton of baby powder, a lil water, and some lotion together. Then you should have this stuff. Just keep playing around with the quantity of the ingredients you have because it usually varies.
The usual recipe is even easier actually, it's just cornstarch and water lol

@@fr0zenflakes dang it bro, I was trying to break a record but you just had to ruin everything didn't you
Yeah what the heck is oobleck and why haven't I bought it yet
Should have tried the blender xd
@@austincde you don’t have to buy it, it’s made out of cornstarch and water. Simple.
I could finally sleep and rest.
you can mix solids. At high enough forces it just breaks into little clumps which then can be mixed around. The second you stop they then recombine in their mixed state
horrifying, thanks.
@Wyi-the-rogue It's the same problem as lowering the temperature of things in either direction of potential energy, matter simply becomes an enormous relative solid. Until it doesn't. Probably don't be around when it doesn't.
that's what i was imagining, honestly. like tightly packed sand grains being shifted around each other to mix
This is a dilatant fluid, not a plastic solid.
Try using a blender lol 😂
This was definitely worth the wait, and the last line made me so fully happy. You’re an incredible writer and I look forward to these videos every time I see them. Have an amazing day, Moon :D
what?
When the paint shaker shook, I got a MASSIVE headache 💀
Oobleck is the whole embodiment of “patience is key”
When you go too hard or fast, it will be harder. When you just take it easy and slow, it will be a whole lot easier.
Or procrastination or "I'll do it when I feel like to"
Maybe it just breaks into a lot of tiny pieces that get “mixed” together, and then when it stops it becomes liquid and combines more?
That's what I thought too
Best theory so far.
I think it is comparable to how you can make a pool of sand you can sink into by bubbling air through it. The frequency it's shaking at may allow it to loosen the substrate.
Good thought 👏
How about no
Y'know what? *Unooblecks your oobleck.*
Immovable object meets an unstoppable force
My immediate thought when I saw the paint shaker: explode

Everyone: *Talking about the outcome of the oobleck*
Me: “That color’s so pretty 😮”
“You know what? You lost your Obleck privileges!”
*unoblecks your obleck with a paint shaker*
Isn't there a moment between each "shake" that the oobleck can mix when the sheer forces between the shakes cancel or partially cancel out? You aren't introducing one moment of action, but many.
And every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
@@dadquality there's the newton
It'd be interesting to see this in slow motion I have a feeling it would just act like a thick liquid in the shaker rather than fully solidify
@@PsychoticEwok or maybe like a tightly packed mass of two colored beads that slowly mix. Which at a distance would look to be mixed. And as soon as the shaking stops actually do mix.
@@dadquality yeah that somehow makes sense to me, it just seams odd that it mixed as intuitively you'd think it'd act like a solid mass but definitely seams to actually be either a liquid or a non cohesive solid like you've suggested 🙂
Imagine getting absolutely covered in this stuff. The more pressure you use to try to get out of it, the more solid it becomes. You could genuinely suffocate in this stuff.
Yes, that is precisely how quicksand works.
Yea when people made videos of running on top of this stuff in a pool it stressed me out because if they tripped or stopped they could die
all I'm hearing is....gotta be chill and take it slow
@@dirtburger2773 if you take it slow you’ll just sink inside of it you should make some yourself and play with it with your hands. It’s just cornstarch and water.
If you dived in head first, yes you would suffocate. Just like quicksand you obviously don't want to stick your head under the surface. But you'd likely be able to breath just fine if you jumped in a pool of it, since your body has more buoyancy then the oobleck/quicksand, so you will naturally stop sinking at the waist because half of your body is already submerged, so the likelihood of actually suffocating from this stuff is quite low.
I haven’t seen oobleck/ooblec since I was a kid, thank you for the nostalgia ❤
"If you move it slow it flows, if you move it fast it seizes up." - Sounds like my will to live.
Fun fact: paint is actually a non-newtonian fluid in the opposite way to ooblek. Non-newtonian in the context of fluids means a viscosity that changes with how the fluid is handled. Ooblek is sheer thickening, while paint is sheer thinning. This allows paint to flow easily off the brush but stay on the surface without dripping.
That really was a fun fact
first time in my life ive seen fun fact used correctly congrats
Wow I am and artist, didn't know that and now I have a great info to tell people from my hobby 😂 thank you
Well, depends on the paint...
I did not know that. That's quite interesting.

ah yes, *sheeeeeeer* thickening; what my skull does when I try to do math
just wanna mention that its shear as in a pair of shears
@@K0nomi LOL youre wrong. search up the word "sheer." You'll see I'm right
@@quickfeather Nope, sheer means "huge" or "shiny". Shear means "across" (as in shear forces - forces trying to rip something across as opposed to push or pull) or shears - named so because they cut with shear force. "Sheer force" means "lots of pure force". "Shear force" means forces going perpendicular to the flat side of the object.
@@nikolaysitnikov796 exactly, sheer means "huge." Just proved yourself wrong there. Huge thickening, a big amount of thickening.
@@quickfeather In this case it refers to shear thickening, because the oobleck thickens when you apply shear forces to it. Oobleck stretches well, but gets thicker when compressed. Also, nobody would make a special term and then name it "extra thickening"
The very middle of the can is actually static, so it mixes around there.

@@chillinontherooftopat1am696 and now it's ooble- *splat* ........
I mean even if it was water jumping from 3 stories is not safe
Oobleck is such a mood man
I think it mixed because there's a brief moment of calm between each shake as the shaker changes directions. The ooblek has a chance to melt slightly at each of those moments, which allows the two colors to blend together by some fraction of a millimeter at each of those moments.
"If you do it nice and slow and it will come out."
That's what she said.
Could you try the experiment with a paint mixer that shakes vertically rather than rotating? I'm fairly certain it would not mix as much. The reason we see it mixing here might be that near the turning point the shear force would be minimal as the ooblec hardly moves.
Almost like the point before a standing wave. Where it hits a "goldilocks" zone. And can mix slowly?
@@bentboybbz I was more thinking of homogenizing the shear force, but your hypothesis is valid as well, could be interesting to variate the frequency to test if you could create multiple compression points.
Any mixer will mix that shit. Every time the mixer changes it's "shake direction," it has to stop for a split second in order to change direction. For another fraction of a second, it needs to accelerate. So the entire mixing process is made up of thousands of very, very short moments of subtle movement.
All three of these comments made me feel good. Something about humans.
@@0331machinegunman obviously it will blend over time no matter what, don't think anyone would assume it wouldn't, with enough collisions you could blend by far the most materials with one another. The question is whether it would be possible on this timespan or not. If you play around with oobleck you'll notice that it does take a little while to change back from a "solid" to a liquid, not the incredibly short split second it takes a paint mixer to shift direction.
"How are you still alive??"
"Oobleck put through a paint shaker, son"
YOU MUST DO A SECOND PART IT'S GONNA BE TOTALLY WORTH IT I PROMISE
that's because the oobleck only thickens after traversing a certain distance, but in the paint shaker it keeps reversing directions so the oobleck doesn't thicken that much and it mixes
If anyone wants to know how to make it use cornstarch and water and you should get a substance like this one. Just add more cornstarch if it’s too liquidy and add more water if it’s too solid. Hope I helped enjoy!
No. Cornstarch, baking soda and water makes the best oobleck.
Thank you, I DO want to make some 😊
Yes and it makes really nice gravy, or cooked fruit thickener. Like for pie. but if you leave a very small amount uncooked in the container and it dries out it can be easily crumbled back to powder. I've been fascinated by this for over 60 years.
@@shelleythompson-brock6412no need for baking soda. just cornstarch and water works fine

That is some neat stuff there! My granddaughter would absolutely love some of this!!
Its one of the coolest things
This is the chemical equivalent of "now I don't wanna do it"
You can, actually. Aside from the paint shaker, everything is really easy to get. Oobleck is easily made with cornstarch and water (lots of RUclips tutorials) and you can add food coloring for the dye.
Thanks. I needed to see that. For whatever reason. lol I was hooked the whole time! 😅
Emulsify the ooblec essentially is what i imagine. Breaking the particles down small enough to combine the two substances better. That's how you get oilier substances to mix with water based liquids while cooking. Like making a dressing, but after it sits for a while it separates again and you'd have to re-emulsify it to get it back to its completely mixed state.
"Normally when you try to make some oobleck"
*YES I ALWAYS MAKE THEM , NOW IT WILL BE EASIER THANK YOU*
Obviously you use it every day.
I think he said mix, since that's what he's doing
For what it's worth, when you do go to mix it, pro tip: put the coloring in the water before adding it to the cornstarch.
How do you make it??
@@LilPrincessEclipse corn starch and water. You need WAY more corn starch than you think.
There aren't exact measurements. Start with maybe half a cup of water, maybe less. Then maybe a tablespoon of corn starch, and go from there.
I remember making this multiple times in school. It was so fun I would even make it at home. I loved science class so much
How do you make it? It seems cool :D
@@insectexpeditions6019 it’s 2 cups of corn starch and one cup of water! You just mix it till it’s dissolved and you can add food color to it if you want it to be a color other than white! (:
@@insectexpeditions6019 I also just looked it up to make sure and it says to add the color to the water THEN mix it with the cornstarch (:
It would be interesting to ask the same question, but instead being region locked. Each region has its own “difficulty” but it would be interesting to see it numerically represented. A mod to edit each spawn location would probably be required for consistency.
