How you can avoid stained ferrofluid containers - Fetch #2
Our attempt at fixing a prototype goes wrong. We share our top advice for creating good ferrofluid containers that avoid the problem we faced here. The ferrofluid container we are making is meant to be used in a huge open-source display.
As a student-project at the University of Oslo, we have designed and built a massive ferrofluid-display with 252 electromagnetic "pixels". On Applied Procrastination we will share all the details of this project and hopefully inspire you to make something similar - or follow your own dream projects.
This week, we show you our process of treating glass, mixing suspension liquid and altering EF-H1 ferrofluid. The video should not be followed as a tutorial though, because we screw up an important step. But you need not worry! We will show you how to do it right in just a couple of weeks!
