Rheoscopic fluid

Hello all, I recently discovered rheoscopic fluid which is used to visualize the subtle currents in liquid. It works similar to dropping dye into the fluid to highlight . Oil based liquids seem to repel the mica powder.

Rheoscopic fluid literally means current showing fluid. Such liquids are effective in visualizing dynamic currents in fluids, such as convection and laminar flow. I recently discovered rheoscopic fluid which is used to visualize the subtle currents in liquid. It works similar to dropping dye into the fluid to highlight currents, but .

Captivate your students with this unique fluid. Its suspended pearly crystals show current movement continually, without settling out. Pearl Swirl is a bottle of concentrate that makes gallons of rheoscopic fluid.

Perfect for showing movements of fluids that are hard to see. Grahm created an instructable on how to make this beautiful Rheoscopic Fluid! I work in a science museum where I build exhibits for a living.

We have an older exhibit that we use to illustrate Earth's ocean currents.
