Owuor Arunga plays All of the Lights on the trumpet..and throws in a little beatboxing too! FILTHY.
We’ve seen the effects of vibration on shear-thickening non-Newtonian fluids here on Earth before in the form of “oobleck fingers” and “cornstarch monsters”, but, to my knowledge, this is the first such video looking at the behavior in space. The vibrations of the speaker cause shear forces on the cornstarch mixture, which causes the viscosity of the fluid to increase. This is what makes it react like a solid to sudden impacts while still flowing like a liquid when left unperturbed. In microgravity there is one less force working against the rise of the cornstarch fingers, so the formations we see in this video are subtly different from those on Earth.

Taking place in England the owners of the yard slowly kept adding sections to the contraption so when the squirrel learned one section and got the nuts, they’d add another section. It took over 2 weeks to get to the final product you see in the video.
