Just a complete stab in the dark here, but I'm guessing as the molecule chains are pulled taut, they provide outward pressure as they contract around the spindle, forcing other molecule chains up/down the spindle. As the base of the spindle is immersed in the liquid, there is already force pressing in from below as material is removed up the spindle, so the liquid goes the only way it can, up.


I'll have to make a batch to see what it's doing, but it sounds like it's "like" liquids that solidify with kinetic impacts (or as you said it more or less).

I'd be interested to see if it's the whole thing climbing up, or if it's layering new liquid pulled from the bottom on top of the first stuff to get caught, like the yarn analogy. I'd like to see the current "top" place marked in red or something to see what happens to those particles. Actually, I think the red would be pulled to the bar and disappear under the stuff covering it next. In that case I'd like to see the liquid at the widest part at the base of the rod marked red so we could watch it climb, if the yarn effect is in fact what's happening.



If possible, do this in another liquid that will stay phased out and then color it; do your experiment. Hell, use light reflective particles and throw a 360 camera/computer capture around it. Good times and simulations too occur!

Your video, The Weissenberg Effect: non-Newtonian fluids climb a rod, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I just soaked the keyboard with non-Newtonian fluid.

well, technically, everything is non-newtonian, just ask einstein.

I wish I had this idea when looking at non Newtonian liquids its probably the most obvious application for it really, well aside from filling up swimming pools with corn starch so you can "walk on water".

Non-Newtonian Putty?

There's a whole bunch of these vids on here, all cool!

needs to be discarded, exact same clip a couple of days before yours, so.... sorry 'bout that! Is a great clip!
