When the split cell is closed, the central portions create a funnel with a 100 µ gap that lets oil fall naturally. As oil flows, sensors along the funnel are activated, and the distance between the ...

The Dublin pitch-drop experiment was set up in 1944 at Trinity College Dublin to demonstrate the high viscosity or low fluidity of pitch — also known as ... pouring it into a sealed glass funnel.

Begun in 1944, an Irish attempt to witness apparently solid pitch tar dripping from a funnel finally bears fruit. 69-year experiment captures pitch-tar drop - CNET X ...

The sample is so viscous, calculations suggest it will be at least another 1300 years before the pitch even leaves the funnel. Journal reference: Physics Education , DOI: 10.1088/0031 ...
