I saw a solution of starch/water that was the consistency I am looking for 
with an elctrical charge applied to a liquid.  If the "solution" is able to be 
controlled by varying the charge, that would be excellent, but I would like to 
see at least a noticable resistance to movement.  I thought of LCD but this is 
for a mechanical device.
