ok what ever you all missed the point MY Question was: "if any one knows how to make a see thru/translucent Non-Newtonian fluid [that acts like a solid under pressure but other wise acts as a liquid]? I would like to be able to make look as water-like as possible" i don't really care about the other types of Non-Newtonian fluids as they will not help for what i am trying to do...

but i was right "property of this non-Newtonian fluid becomes apparent. The application of force - for example by stabbing the surface with a finger, or rapidly inverting the container holding it - leads to the fluid behaving like a solid rather than a liquid. More gentle treatment, such as slowly inserting a spoon, will leave it in its liquid state." -wiki is that or is that not what i said http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Newtonian_fluid

wiki is not a site worth looking at, any one can edit it to say what ever they would like it to say:doh: do you have any thing better to site?

I bet most of you know what a Non-Newtonian fluid is but for those who don't, a Non-Newtonian fluid is something that acts like a solid under pressure but other wise acts as a liquid. Here is one simple way to make a Non-Newtonian fluid: 2 parts corn starch 1 part water The thing is, that with this set of materials the product ends up being milky white in hue. My question is if any one knows how to make a see thru/translucent Non-Newtonian fluid? I would like to be able to make look as water-like as possible:cool:
