Bronwyn Hayworth A drop of food coloring touched to the side of a pool of cornstarch causes a viscous/ surface tension instability More info (76 Kb pdf) |
Karl Hausmann Droplets of food coloring are suspended in pools of vegetable oil, which in turn rest on milk in a martini glass. |
David Harbaugh Negatively buoyant plumes of food coloring in alcohol, viewed from above. More info (48 Kb pdf) |
Aaron Brown Most images of Lava Lamps focus on the wax motion, but here air bubbles at the top of the lamp are shown. |

Chris Wilke Food coloring is added to a bowl of milk, then a few drops of soap are added. The soap reduces the surface tension while combining with the fat in the milk. The process drives a mixing flow, shown at a series of times. |
