The experiment is monitored by a webcam [10] but technical problems prevented the November 2000 drop from being recorded. [7] The pitch drop experiment is on public display on Level 2 of Parnell building in the School of Mathematics and Physics at the St Lucia campus of the University of Queensland. Hundreds of thousands of Internet users check ...
Since the pitch was allowed to start dripping in 1930, only nine drops have fallen. It was calculated in the 1980s that the pitch in the experiment has a viscosity approximately 100 billion (10 11) times that of water. [5] The eighth drop fell on 28 November 2000, and the ninth drop fell on 17 April 2014. [6] Another experiment was started by a ...
The pitch drop experiment is a famous fluid breakup experiment using high viscous tar pitch. The rate of breakup is slowed to such a degree that only 11 drops have fallen since 1927. The rate of breakup is slowed to such a degree that only 11 drops have fallen since 1927.

In 1927 Parnell initiated an intriguing experiment to allow long-term observation of the behaviour of material known to have an extremely high coefficient of viscosity. Thus began his now famous pitch drop experiment, which, against all the odds, has been carefully preserved by UQ Physics to this day. [6] [7] [8]
