Saint Peter's College - PARSE Institute
Summer 2010
PARSE Fellows Research Team: Dr. J. Lopez, Dr. J. Clayton, Dr. M. Armani, Mrs. S. Lingat, Ms. E. Concepcion, Mr. R. Toegel, Mr. A. DeCaro, Mr. F. Williams
The PARSE Team spent the summer designing an experiment to test the effects of acoustic waves on two solutions with different concentrations of cornstarch and water. The solutions were placed in an acoustic chamber designed in the lab and tested under the force of gravity and in microgravity (F = 0 g)in the Weightless Wonder (G1 Force airplane). The last week of research was spent at NASA Headquarters (Texas) training, setting up the experiment and finally testing during weightless flight. It was an incredible and unforgettable experience. The link below shows the experiment in microgravity.
