Innovating Science - Rheoscopic Fluid Concentrate 120mL

I use this rheoscopic fluid diluted in art pieces that I make. The distribution feels really smooth. and the quality feels good.

Used the concentrate right away and after a little trial and error, found the right mix to have good movement in the bottle. And I have more, so i can experiment with a little less so there is more space in the movement. Great product! It does look like glue when you first dip some out. My suggestion is to color the water the color you’d like first, then put in the concentrate. The contrast will help more than clear water can. My only negative is that there were no instructions for how to use the concentrate, no indication of how much per liter. A teacher may know, but a layman like me had to wing it. Not a terrible negative, but I took a star from it because of that. If you get this, know that it’ll be OK to experiment with the amount. Start with just a little and add a little more as you go. Also, fill your container up to the brim with as little air as possible, even letting some drip down as you add concentrate. This stuff foams up with air, so don’t give it any. With that, it’s a great fidget for home and a fun tool at school.

Great product! Made "unicorn tears" for potions at a Harry Potter party and will be using in my classroom for convection currents.

I had used rheoscopic fluid years ago when I taught middle school science. It had a swirling, mica sparkle too it. This is like thick soap and really does little. Cannot be used for a demonstration as intended.

Had a good effect but for the cost of this little bottle I could have bought 20 pounds of mica powder and had a lifetime supply. I had to add nearly half the bottle to get a good effect.

Rheoscopic fluid is used for demonstrating ocean currents, aerodynamics, turbulence, convection, and other similar liquid-motion effects in water. The effect can also be enhanced by adding food coloring, but the fluid makes it possible to see the water moving around under whatever force you are trying to show off. This is a concentrate, so you don't need much to make your point - the bottle should last awhile in most classrooms, as long as your demonstration tank isn't huge. The bottle is lab-labeled and suitable for storage in your lab chem locker.

honestly, a bit trash. i added half the bottle to a single bottle of water before it had a decent look to it.

This was a waste of money. Did not perform as advertised. Did not have a swirl effect at all. More like milk or a bottle of white goop or snot. Don't waste your money. Research the alternatives and find one that will meet your expectations. I made the mistake of buying even after reading poor reviews. Don't make the same mistake I did
