Hey everyone:
We are planning on doing a large scale trough of oobleck for an outdoor event. Right now we are thing about a trough 2ft in width and 6 ft in length. Has anyone done this before? I have seen it on YouTube but that's all. Any idea on how deep the amount of oobleck should be for the best performance. We want visitors to be able to run across it and not sink in or go slow and sink in.
Any suggestions? Success stories? Things not to do?
Thanks, Kathy

Anita,
I was not involved but was a spectator at an ARISS (Amateur Radio on the
International Space Station) ham radio contact at the Ann Arbor Hands On
Museum on December 27, 2008. These events last 11 minutes, and
typically take 3 years to set up. They require experienced radio
operators with a sophisticated skill set and specific equipment that
most hams will not have (such as, automated satellite-tracking
antennas.) The people who did it here came up from Ohio and were just
great.
Regards,
Ralph
