Squeak: *opens Youtube* youtu.be/JYBz_zbGvXc?... "Like this"

Furry: "Yea...that sounds like something you'd do. Also, i now know what that swirly shit is called, lol"

*reads a furry's detailed character description*

Furry: "So what do you think?"

*awkward silence*

Furry: "Squeak?"

Squeak: "Maybe I should make one of these for Squeak... maybe make hir canonically filled with a rheoscopic fluid or something like that."

Furry: "...Filled with a what?"

This reminds me of these balls I saw a while back, filled with water and coloured glitter, so when you spin or shake it you can see how the water moves. Rheoscopic planets, that was it. Been meaning to get another one, my blue one sprung a leak. Mesmerising things, same as that image :)

Another fun thing to do with it is to add it to water and you get a rheoscopic fluid that aligns with a magnetic field. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CncG...

With a range of styles from his latest single, Rheoscopic, to his nostalgic take on Skrillex & Porter Robinson’s hit Still Here (with the ones that I came with), the vastness of Rift’s creativity and taste are presented in full effect during his Destination set.

The pattern in the clouds is called a "Von Kármán vortex street". Their size is roughly 100 km. Very interestingly, the same pattern can be recreated at a much much smaller scale. Here they are, just a few centimeters across, visualized using a rheoscopic fluid:

A flower made of von Kármán vortices.

This is a motorized lazy Susan filled with a rheoscopic solution. It’s only about 1cm deep and the pencil serves as the stationary obstacle.

That means it has Kalliroscope! The original rheoscopic fluid. Not made anymore. This article tells the story:
Rheoscopic fluids in a post-Kalliroscope world
In rheoscopic flow visualization, the working fluid is seeded with small reflective flakes that align preferentially in the flow due to their anisotropy. This l

A circular von Kármán #vortex street. The video.
This is a lego-motor-powered lazy Susan, spinning and filled to the brim with a #rheoscopic fluid. It's basically dissolved shaving cream with a bit of food coloring. It helps visualizing the flow. 🧪

A von Kármán vortex “flower” using a pencil as an obstacle, and a rotating #rheoscopic solution. This time I used a bit of red food coloring. The fluid oscillation that causes these vortices is an engineering problem because the ensuing vibration, if large, can damage the obstacle. 🧪

[2/4] it is a rotating shallow water #experiment, essentially the lazy Susan is powered by a #LEGO motor, and filled with a #rheoscopic fluid. Here's the setup:

Explain your @

Bunny = A few years back, I became hyper fixated on fairy tales/mythology about rabbits. I've loved rabbits/bunnies ever since.

Alchemist = About two years ago, I made 'potions' by creating rheoscopic fluid (water mixed with mica). That hobby influenced the creation of my persona!
