Core concept for skyrise



Through our initial investigations with oil, water, and sand, this is what we got as a result of the three reacting with eachother. What happens is that oil and water dont mix, nor does the sand with the oil or the water, so when we add the element of user interaction, that is, the shaking of the container, the sand is forced to move through the oil, and as it does it pulls some of the oil with it creating air bubbles in the water. As time passes, the movement in the container comes to settle as it had started out, with the 3 layers : oil, water, and sand.
