Adahill Hoptech Bottle Ferrofluid Magnetic Liquid Display Toy

Product Information

Very cool lamp! Great conversation piece. People play with it for hours on end. Size is better (larger) compared to other like items. This is about the same size as a normal lava lamp."

Harvey Makin Wooden Newton's Cradle Desk Toy - Wonderful piece for the desk of the modern professional - Engraved with your message The good folks at the Univeristat Der Kunste Berlin made a ferrofluid display that can play Nibbles: http://www.digital.udk-berlin.de/en/projects/winter0405/main/hauptprojekt/snoil.html I'm building on-the-fly braille translators and tactile interfaces by sensing if people are moving the fluid: http://www.artiswrong.com/ffb

heat the solution to about 80 ℃ – 90 ℃ . The ammonium oleate will decompose to again form oleic acid (which is hydrophobic) and it will separate out the magnetic particles from the solution. I absolutely love this lamp...it makes quite a pair with my ORIGINAL Lava Lamp (1960's model). Only negative is that once you 'become one' with the ferrofluid you're hooked. Two thumbs up for this." This is just about the simplest ferrofluid you can make. You'll need two basic materials: magnetic (MICR) ink, and a household oil. I've tried a couple types of oils, and it seemd like a light lubricating oil works best, but any cooking oil will work fine, as well. The amount of oil you have is pretty much the amount of ferrofluid you'll get out--about 50mL is good for starters, but feel free to make as much as you want.

Dispose of ferrofluid like you’d dispose of motor oil. Since ferrofluid is mostly motor oil, it’s considered hazardous waste. For small quantities (like 1 batch), seal it in an airtight container and throw it in the trash. For large quantities (like multiple batches), take the ferrofluid to a hazardous waste facility. [7] X Research source After he completed his initial prototype, Jung decided to share his speaker with the world. This, in turn, inspired his possible future plans to bring it to market. “I started making it for fun, but after posting it on my social media, [people were telling me to] ‘shut up and take my money,’” he said. Ships 8/12/19 This Does NOT act as a lava lamp. Instead, it has magnets at the bottom of the bottle to keep the ferrofluid spiky at all times. The ferrofluid comes... Ferrofluid is a suspension of small magnetic particles (often magnetite, the magnetic oxide of iron) in a fluid. To avoid the heavy and magnetic particles clumping together or precipitating, they need to be coated in a surfactant. And this only works if the particles are the right size (very small) and you have the right mix of surfactant that works in the carrier fluid (the fluid is usually mineral oil or vegetable oil; alcohols will be a poor choice). Iron oxide powder creates the magnetism in ferrofluid. Use your electronic scale again to measure your iron oxide. Then, pour the iron oxide into the motor oil.

The headlining feature for some Android users is Qualcomm's Snapdragon Sound compatibility, which brings hi-res audio support via the aptX Adaptive Bluetooth codec and higher-quality voice transmission thanks to aptX Voice. What about an ammonia-based fluid mix? I saw one guy on youtube that said he made it with Windex (the liquid was a clear greenish color) and another guy said he made it with Windolene(he's in the UK) but it went cloudy after a while. Meanwhile doing some other research I found someone who says their product (they sell ferrofluid desk toys) should be kept at room temp and will go cloudy if kept too cold. My guess is the guy in the UK had it accidentally get too cold.. because it's the UK, lol. You can make brakes with it by putting some fluid between a wheel's axle and hub. The wheel will spin freely as the fluid acts just as a liquid lubricant, but if you apply a magnetic field, you're suddenly putting a lot of friction of the wheel's rotation.

Glass bottle, ideally with flat sides. If you have a round bottle you may not be able to see the ferrofluid due to diffraction.

Laserprinter toner isn't usually a mix of suspended magnetic particles: only specialty toner inks are (the ones used for machine readable printing). If you can get the right sort, it will save a lot of effort, but the wrong toner won't work at all and will just make a mess.
