How to make fluid "climb" up! AMAZING SLIME EXPERIMENT!

Season 3 Episode 27 | 4m 57s

Slime exhibits some crazy unusual properties, like viscoelasticity, because it's a non-newtonian fluid. We can use non-newtonian properties to make the fluid "defy gravity" and climb up a spinning rod. This is called the Weissenberg effect.
