Ferromagnetic Fluid
Make your very own and experiment with ferromagnetic fluid.
Make your very own ferromagnetic fluid and experiment with magnets with this easy-to-use test tube kit.
Ferromagnetic fluid will naturally align itself with the magnetic field of the object it comes in contact with. Bring the included magnet close to the fluid within the tube and see what it does.
Ferromagnetic fluid led to the production of rocket fuel that could be used in a weightless environment by applying a magnetic field.
Age: 5+ with adult supervision
What you get
Ferromagnetic Fluid. Test tube with powder and instrucitons to mix and experiment with your own fluid. Comes with a super strong magnet.
How does it work
Ferromagnetic fluids are colloidal liquids made of small magnetic particles suspended in fluid (usually an organic solvent). Bringing a strong magnet near a ferromagnetic fluid attracts the magnetic particle in the ferromagnetic fluid thus forming beautiful pattern of peaks and valleys.
