wow, did you ever see such stuff before? i guess its old, but i never was aware of such thing

yup. old. ferrofluids are cool tho. lol

Hilarious!

I wanna know how this works, and found this helpfull:

Probably, you only need keep the old oil after oil change!

Combined with a sophisticated magnetic system you could skulpture animated models!
Who knows!

And, while stopping the animation, you could spray a fluid plastic, freeze it and put it on the table!

Indeed, I'm amazed as well ello
I'm quite curious how he was able to set up the magnetic field around the liquid area ??

EDIT: I did some research and this is a small summary of what I've read:
It's a special kind of fluid called : Ferrofluid
Simply said, it consists out of little magnetic particles which are interpolated into a magnetic field when holding a magnet close to the fluid.
It was original created by NASA.

I think the electromagnet is in the center of the column, which gets energy by a slider, and then he rotates the column by a motor and the ferrofluid is pressed outside the column by centrifugal force.

Indeed but I simplified it way down so it's more clear that way
Thanks for the input Pappenheimer
