Making ferrofluid from scratch

Ғылым және технология

Back in October, I tried making ferrofluid but I kept failing and I ended up giving up for a while. Months later though, I got inspired, and I spent an insane amount of time researching ferrofluid and trying to make it. It was a very messy and sometimes frustrating process, but I was eventually successful. The method that I came up with still isn't perfect, but as far as I know, it's the best and most functional method available on the internet.

    What you did @ 15:30 is used in wastewater treatment solutions. With some added polymer, solids drop swiftly because of the density of the magnetite, clear water left on top. The magnetite is recovered/recirculated. In actuality, the process developed in the 70's was doing the same thing using ferrous chloride addition to influent wastewater, pH adjustment and flocculation. The upgrade to one plant was the massive addition of magnetite to be used as ballast for floc particles and recovered. @15:30 shows why..., normally wastewater would take 30 minutes to settle by 50% with the weight of magnetite it's seconds!!!! Good stuff!

    Lol I remember doing chemistry for my final exam in 9th grade. It was electrolysis of salt water and it seemed like no matter what we did nothing made sense. There was way more hydrogen than chlorine gas when there should've been the same amount, and the wires that come in contact with the water (don't know the name in english) constantly seemed to react with it making the color of the water different and slowing the process. I know this isn't the same as nanochemistry, and there are definitely explanations for what happened to us, but god damn it we didn't have them and we were so lost

    I had watched this video some time ago, but I'm coming back to this because I'm thinking of making ferrofluid myself (with a friend, whether or not we will I do not know). The first time, this whole process and the result was just fascinating and beautiful, however, now that I'm watching this a second time with the intention of following what he did, I truly appreciate how amazing this video is. I mean really, it's so analytic and just mentions every single detail that, especially in chemistry, is very important for recreation, I am genuinely in awe of how well done this is. Good luck to us, I suppose.

    So, little fun-fact: In DisneyWorld’s Animal Kingdom, there is a ride based around the Avatar movie called Flight of Passage. In the waiting line, you pass through the lab from the movie. In it, there are little “creatures” from the planet, and today I learned that they’re ferrofluid in water! The little black blobs would suddenly turn spiky and zoom around the edges of the glass boxes they were in, and then melt back into blobs. I was fascinated by them when I first saw them, and had no idea what they actually were. Thanks for letting me know what those cute little “aliens” were!

    What you showed is the older theory that magnets hold universal attraction..in essence. When watching another video, the placing the compound on a magnet was awesome and educational. When it was dripped on a turning spindle, then placed a magnet underneath it spun. Then add another coat , it stopped. The formula as it seems to science then is that it made mountains. It might have inadvertently assisted ..it's pretty cool to see what all it can be thought of

    You're actually not wrong! I'm by no means an expert, but I do love sharing trivia knowledge. That being said, have you heard of _'Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue III'_ by Barnett Newman? It was created in 1967 and destroyed by a disgruntled painter in 1968. If you've looked it up already, you've seen it's a vast plane of pure red--18 by 8 feet!--framed by a vertical, blue stripe on the left and another, far thinner yellow stripe on the right. At the time of its debut display, and even today, it was absolutely reviled by a majority of the art community. The museum received letters describing visitors’ disgust and dismay that the institution would deign to show such a work, which in their opinions fell firmly into the category of “my kid could do that.” The piece was vandalized in '68 when an asshole painter decided to take a box cutter and slash along the painting's length--the slashes totaled fifty feet, altogether. Now, there's a discussion to be had about the meaning of the painting and the reactions to it, but I'm here to talk about the much-overlooked 'technique' aspect of this piece. The painting was restored (to the protests of the art community) after about four years, and put up for display. And then, when return museumgoers came to either admire or revile the fixed piece... it was finally realized what was truly lost. When the restoration was unveiled, it was as if the life had been sucked out of the red itself. They somehow killed the most vibrant, attention-grabbing, passionate color our rainbow has to offer, and instead put its taxidermied corpse on display. The red was the same shade, the same hue, the same value, yet somehow it was... dull. Flat. And... off. Not as uniform, perhaps? What _happened?_ The restorator applied the red paint over the _entire_ red section with a fucking _paint roller,_ that's what happened. I'm just gonna copy-paste this part from an article on 99percentinvisible.org on the subject: _"Conservators [should] try to preserve as much of the original material as possible, touching only the areas that need treatment. They should also really study the artist and look at their past work in order to get a sense of what the artist was trying to achieve. ...With these rules in mind, the Stedelijk [Museum] phoned up practically every conservator in Europe. The biggest challenge was the very simplicity of the painting. The busy texture and detail of a Picasso or a Rembrandt often help to mask repair work, but Newman’s canvas was mostly just one big swath of uniform color, so any sign of repair would stand out."_ The techniques behind Barnett Newman's 'Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue III'_ cannot be replicated without extreme diligence. The painting used no rulers--the edges of color were razor-straight by the artist's own hand. The paint was painstakingly applied--the resulting acrylic swath of red was perfectly smooth. No variation in color, no light spots or dark spots, just all one singular uniform *red.* Even physically, the paint was applied in painstakingly purposeful layers, smooth to the point of glossiness. (Good Ending Note: As of 2014, the painting has finally gotten the care it needed and has once again been put up for re-display in almost all its former glory. Yay!) Now, I went through all this rigamarole to make a point: Niles' piece didn't have much thought put into it _as_ an art piece, but I do actually find the three canvases to be a sort of modern art. If we wanna be pretentious, I guess it could also count as a triptych if displayed as such. Niles applied his own fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants techniques to create a colloidal liquid that has artistic properties unique among both mass-produced ferrofluids, and black paints! Not to mention the very unique way the paint was applied. *Niles really did just create a new modern art technique!*

    @@theonlybilge : I'll have to disagree. Modern Art today is abused by people who want to make a quick buck. It goes like this: 1.) "Artists" with connections in the upper-class with shart onto a canvas, slap a name on it, and price it at something-odd-thousand dollars. Let's say, $400,000. 2.) Then, someone with too much money comes along and drops $400k on the shart-canvas. 3.) The rich person then donates the shart-canvas to an art museum, which means they can now write off that $400k as a charitable donation and get most of it back at the end of the year during taxes. 4.) Lastly, the artist will split the $400k they made with the rich person who bought the piece. In the end, the "artist" and the rich asshole have both profited $200k by playing the tax system for profit (minus what little the rich person didn't get on their tax return.) The art museum is stuck with shit, because the only thing anyone seems to donate anymore is, well, shit, and Modern Art's reputation goes down the shitter. THAT is the real villain of the 'Modern Art' world, and the reason the term is now automatically associated with 'lazy bullshit'. If you do care to look into it, Modern Art has a rich history filled with talented, thoughtful artists such as Barnett Newman.

    In the past I have done research on magnetite nanoparticle quality vs. how you mix the iron salts with ammonia (or other bases), and which concentrations to use. The issue with your method is that the ammonia is mixed into the iron salts slowly, which causes two problems: 1. The growth of particles happens slowly over the course of several minutes which is ideal for growing large crystals instead of nanoparticles. 2. The particles that are formed in the beginning of the reaction is formed inside a liquid with a different concentration and pH than the particles that are formed later (concentration varies during the course of the ammonia addition), hence you will end up with a larger variation in particle size and morphology. The best way to make magnetite nanoparticles (that I know of) is to use a T-mixer type of mixing method, where the two liquids (Iron salt mixture and ammonia) is simultaneously and at the same rate pushed/flowed into a T or Y crossing, so that they instantly mix under high speed, and importantly, the resultant liquid and particles flows away into a separate channel and container where they never come in contact with unreacted ammonia or iron salt, this prevents additional particle growth from occurring. Here is a short paper explaining such a method written by some colleagues of mine. www.researchgate.net/publication/237842518_Rapid_mixing_A_route_to_synthesize_magnetite_nanoparticles_with_high_moment
