We've finally come to the part where we get to test our tank for the first time! We've had serious doubts as to how well it will perform due to some mistakes we've made in the past. Therefore we perform a comprehensive initial stress test of the display... by playing around with the ferrofluid attempting to make cool patterns by hand!
We also get seriously distracted by how the salt manages to break through our sealant, which calls for some procrastination!
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.
