“Ferrite” – Ferrofluid Liquid Sculpture
David Markus sammelt gerade via Kickstarter Geld für sein Ferrite Projekt, bei dem er ein Gefäß produzieren möchte in dem sich ein Ferrofluid befindet, eine ölige Flüssigkeit mit magnetisierten Metallspänen, welches man dann mit seinen Seltenen Erdmagneten striezen und Magnetfelder sichtbar machen kann. WANT! (leider nur in den USA zu bekommen)
Ferrofluid is an extraordinary material with unique ferromagnetic properties. Although dozens of applications for it have been found – from hard drives to loudspeakers – its most impressive is arguably as an interactive display. Ferrofluid displays capture the best qualities of ferrofluid, both as a liquid and as a ferromagnetic substance. By applying magnetic fields of different strengths, different shapes and formations begin to appear in this otherworldly black liquid. By suspending it in a clear liquid, even more interactive qualities are exposed.
