Fluux Design Lab, based in Houston, Texas, has created an innovative new Ferrofluid display desktop toy. This intriguing gadget, when manipulated using magnets, offers countless hours of entertainment by distorting the unique Ferrofluid material. Ferrofluid, a fascinating substance, was originally developed in 1963 by NASA’s Steve Papell as a liquid rocket fuel. Its unique properties have since found applications in various fields, from art to engineering.
The Force Fluid desktop chamber is designed to provide access to this nanotechnology in a captivating and interactive display. The chamber is made from high-quality aluminum and glass, ensuring durability and a sleek, modern look. The supplied magnetic wands allow users to manipulate the Ferrofluid, creating mesmerizing patterns and shapes that seem to defy gravity.
Understanding Ferrofluid
Ferrofluid is a liquid that becomes strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. It consists of nanoscale ferromagnetic particles suspended in a carrier fluid, usually an oil or water. When exposed to a magnetic field, these particles align along the field lines, creating striking visual effects. This property makes Ferrofluid an excellent material for educational demonstrations, artistic displays, and even practical applications like sealing and damping in mechanical systems.
The Force Fluid display leverages these properties to create an engaging and educational experience. By using the magnetic wands, users can explore the behavior of Ferrofluid, gaining insights into the principles of magnetism and fluid dynamics. This makes the Force Fluid not just a toy, but also a valuable educational tool for both children and adults.
The Kickstarter Campaign
To bring this innovative product to market, Fluux Design Lab has launched a Kickstarter campaign. The goal is to raise $12,000 to fund the production of the latest aluminum and glass display. The campaign offers various pledge levels, starting at just $34, making it accessible to a wide range of backers. Early supporters can expect their Force Fluid displays to be shipped by May 2017.
