Water Drops and Acoustic Vibration

  Check out this video that demonstrates what you can get when you add some Water Drops and Acoustic Vibration. The results are very eye catching, reminds me a bit of the non-newtonian fluid experiments we saw in the past. To ramp up the fun this could be connected to a microcontroller and the frequency could be adjusted by the controller instead of a computer. “In this video I ran
