Normally fuel is burnt to give CO2 right? But the reverse doesn't happen, except in photosysthesis. Well now it does.

You put catalyst to the CO2. Then you do hydrosilane and oxidise it. And Methanol will be produced! Tada. Lol.

Quite interesting. Should go take a look. Lol. Now when will it start producing on a mass scale for daily uses? Hmm... At least now the problem of global warming is solved. Lol.

The resultant is a non-Newtonian liquid. What's that?

From Wikipedia:

A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid whose flow properties are not described by a single constant value of viscosity. Many polymer solutions and molten polymers are non-Newtonian fluids, as are many commonly found substances such as ketchup, starch suspensions, paint, blood and shampoo. In a Newtonian fluid, the relation between the shear stress and the strain rate is linear (and if one were to plot this relationship, it would pass through the origin), the constant of proportionality being the coefficient of viscosity. In a non-Newtonian fluid, the relation between the shear stress and the strain rate is nonlinear, and can even be time-dependent. Therefore a constant coefficient of viscosity can not be defined. A ratio between shear stress and rate of strain (or shear-dependent viscosity) can be defined, this concept being more useful for fluids without time-dependent behavior.


Summary: Can be a liquid and solid depending on the amount of force applied. Lol.

The experiment is about a non-Newtonian liquid "in forced risonance using a loudspeaker with various kind of waves and frequencies."
"The last test is done with a 120hz sine wave."

Enjoy! Try to watch it in HD if you can. It will look clearer.
