I loved the video! It's amazing how that was done. The patterns were so complex and cool, and they changed in a blink of an eye! I look up what Cymatics are, and found this on Wikipedia:
"The surface of a plate or membrane is vibrated, and regions of maximum and minimum displacement are made visible in a thin coating of particles, paste, or liquid."
It's so awesome that you could do something like this with a plate, some powder (I wonder what the person used), and very fine vibration. Most people can't even draw something like that! I found the video really interesting and enjoyable.
(p.s. If you watch this video, make sure to turn the sound down. The frequency will hurt your ears towards the middle and end.)
This video was so interesting! It is amazing how with a vibration and a flat surface you can make such beautiful designs. I watched this on YouTube and I immeadietely wanted to see more. I found this video of a similar property but with colors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv7076WD5mo I really recommend watching this video. It is unbelievable the formations it can make.
I do have a few questions about this. Does it require certain types of plates and powder? Why does this work? I always knew that if you vibrate a metal plate with sand on top it would move around. But I never knew how beautiful it could look! Over all, I loved this video and thought it was spectacular.
Thanks for watching, you guys. And thank you, Jake for explaining. I wonder if this experiment was programed on a computer and then put into the vibrating board or if the board was programed on it's own....
I found this video intriguing! For me it was amazing to see how the numerous designs came together. Emmie, to answer your question on what type of powder is used to make them, I looked it up an found something very strange to me. The powder most commonly used is known as lycopodium, which is a fine powder that is made from the spores of a clubmoss. I was so interested that I researched more. I found that water can also be used to create natural, symmetrical vibrations. I found it unbelievable, but what also blew me away was that if you mix water and cornstarch, then it will create interesting results. The cornstarch makes it flow like a liquid, but stiffens into a solid when under stress. This creates peculiar results that can topple on top of each other or clump and make very strange creations. This is one of my favorite blog posts!
This video was so cool! It was so amazing how low and high pitched noises could make designs like that! I hope someday during my free time I could try to do that kind of experiment. I was especially intrigued by the patterns since I have a passion for art. It was so amazing how each of the patterns would change so suddenly when the sound changed. I really liked this video, and I hope to learn much more about Cymatics!
That was incredible! How the patterns changed so fast and unexpectedly was ingenius. What's even more ingenius is how they did it only using basic materials. These are really cool designs.
P.S. Clyde or anyone, Do you know what they actually used to make the patterns?
This video was fascinating! I never really understood what Cymatics was, or how it worked. There is an explanation in the discription below the video, and I found it very interesting. It said that the experiment can be done by sprinkling sand on a metal plate, and vibrating it. I never knew that doing something as simple as that, could make all of those interesting designs. The different types of shapes and patterns were really amazing. The strange sounds they were making to vibrate the metal plate was a bit creppy though... Other than that, I really enjoyed it! Also, thank you Jake F. for answering my question before I typed it in my comment. I never understood how it worked...
Wow that was really cool. It was so cool when the vibrations made the powder turn into to cool designs. This could be used for shirt designs. This was a really cool article Clyde. I would rate this a 9!
