Abstract

We present a fascinating experiment, with great potential for entry-level educational and public outreach applications: a granular fountain. It is an example of the rich and sometimes counterintuitive phenomena that takes place when fine sand is vertically vibrated at low frequencies. We offer guidelines for reproducing the experiment and also a short discussion on the physics behind the effect.
