Particle "Speed Waves" With Grav by TheExplosionTeam
Particles can have wierd properties when at high speeds. Look up my name and you will see a selection of properties that I have found. In this save, I show you how GRAV can cause wierd "waves" at high speeds. Obviously this effect is present all the time

However, moving powders create tiny pressure waves around themselves, which can interact to cause a localized decelerative force on particles behind them (which then slow down and are struck by particles behind THEM, causing further pressure waves and spreading the decelerative effect). This is why the 'waves' sometimes clump together and move slowly and chaotically. -

X increases with distance from the origin, because the accelerating force continues to act on the GRAV particles, constantly increasing their speed until they go off-screen.

its because the particles are assigned a vy and vx value(velocity in x or y). each fraem it moves vy pixels up and vx pixels across. if vy or vx is about 50, the particle travels 50 pixels each frame, causing the effect you have found. the vy and vx values can be changed with the prop tool or !set vy/vx [] [number]
