Impressive "scientific" experiments at home + competition for Habralubiteley from SmartVideos.ru

Many readers of Habr have already fallen in love with translated scientific and educational videos. I would like to present you two more - about non-Newtonian liquid and “hot” ice. The experiments do not require any complex ingredients or conditions, but they look really impressive.

In addition, for those interested, I would like to hold a small competition with quite attractive prizes ...

UPD. The first video from spiritus_sancti is already online - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4z2VqgX-78 !

And now the competition:
If you are impressed by these experiences or any other, and you want to try to repeat them at home (or in the office :), then you can take it to the camera and send it to me for publication on the site SmartVideos.ru and on the Youtube channel . Several hundred people will immediately see your video, and you can also get a prize!

Conditions:
- any clips of popular science are accepted for participation - experiments, experiments, stories about any interesting fact or paradox, etc.
