Another Ferrofluid Video - Ferrofluid Sculpture
We had a Ferrofluids video on Portent before but I think this one is much more beautifiul- it lasts just over two and a half minutes. It wasn't just created by chance…
The creators say "
The body of the tower was made by a new technique called “ferrofluid
sculpture” that enables artists to create dynamic sculptures with fluid
materials. This technique uses one electromagnet, and its iron core
is extended and sculpted. The ferrofluid covers the sculpted surface
of a three-dimensional iron shape that was made on an electronic NC
lathe. The movement of the spikes in the fluid is controlled dynamically
on the surface by adjusting the power of the electromagnet. The shape
of the iron body is designed as helical so that the fluid can move to
the top of the helical tower when the magnetic field is strong enough.
The surface of the tower responds dynamically to its magnetic environment."
