The Blob, Part 2

Another quick movie featuring Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty.

I put two blobs of Thinking Putty on a plastic sheet and propped it up against a wall. One blob is the Strange Attractor with its Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) magnet beneath the putty. That initially combines its force with gravity to help pull the putty down.

The other putty is the heat sensitive Twilight Thinking Putty. This video doesn't really demonstrate its color changing capability.

To add some visual interest I made a turtle impression on each blob of putty. Watch those turtles slide!

The Strange Attractor putty is much stiffer than the Twilight so it doesn't flow down the sheet of plastic very fast. But it has the magnet pulling it down. Who do you think wins the race?

This is two hours and 40 minutes of putty action. I took a picture every 24 seconds and play them back at 24 frames per second.
