Science project

Posted by Wivernryder - January 14th, 2010


Well, I have a short video of myself applying a magnet to something I made as a science project, a ferrofluid. Here's the link.
Here's the link to a wikipedia article explaining what a ferrofluid is.
It's some neat stuff, for sure.

By the way, my camera sucks for close up shots.

You should do some normal science experiments :P

But normal science experiments are so... so.... normal! This sort of stuff is much more fun. Besides, I like the smell of kerosene. It's a very manly smell. Like gasoline and germ-x, and steak.
But seriously, this stuff is awesome. Did you know that it is the fluid used in the shocks of high-end vehicles such as ferraris? Extreme tuning using magnetic fields, now that's sweet stuff.
A friend of mine did their project on radar-invisible aircraft, and he used ferrofluidic paint on his model. On a commercial radar, his plane was invisible. Military grade radar would probably see it pretty plainly, but for a science project I'd say he did a fairly good job.
