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

The solution to your stirring is called a high shear stirrer which is perfect for your case. It viciously stirrs the solution without any cyclone forming, almost completely avoiding the introduction of air into the mixture.
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!

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!

Fascinating to watch. Even though I didn't do well in school, I did enjoy chemistry class, especially the experiments. I don't pretend to understand all the steps and formulas you do, but I enjoy watching you 'get there' in the end. I showed my grandkids the ferrofluid reacting with the magnets at the end; they were enthralled! Keep it up, I'll be watching.
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.
Holy crap, you're right! As of the time of me writing this i haven't seen past 5 minutes, and if I wasn't aware of how capable Nile is, id think "no way this isn't digitally rendered.
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
Nile: "So I kinda went into full try-hard mode." He makes it sound like he accidentally crossed the threshold of normal mode. So what mode are you normally in?
35:52 “Also, I’ve been thinking about ferrofluids way too often lately. Too the point where I’m literally seeing them when I close my eyes.” The monotone made this hilarious
Yeah, I get it on a very surface level thanks to the AP chem I took in highschool, but it's been a decade since then so my knowledge is very fuzzy, and he moves a bit too fast for me. It certainly makes me want to retake some basic courses on the subject and see what I can do though. If only student loans weren't a thing, I'd be going back to school for fun.
I firstly saw this video 3 years ago in high school, 2 days ago I made my own ferrofluid in university. The joy I felt when it worked was immaculate. Edit: for everyone saying I'm a time traveler, yall got me ;) (he made a vid in October, 3 years ago, that's the one I saw)
I had to pause this and take a minute to tell you that you impress the hell out of me. You never cut a corner. You're thorough. You do just what I want to see as a viewer. You experiment. It's beautiful to watch. To marvel at our similar ponders. And yes your spikes are more impressive haha. Thanks for the wonderful content
I am myself working on the measure and characterization of nanoparticles aggregation, so I have some questions and a suggestion. In my experience the nanoparticles starts to aggregate the moment they are formed and stirring greatly speed up the process: what happen to your reaction if you add the oleic acid before adding the ammonia? Another thing I noticed is that the reaction is much more reproducible and the nanoparticles are much smaller and uniform when the reagents are both as diluted as possible (the water is equally divided between the two solution): is it possible to tinker with the FeII-FeIII and ammonia solutions so that they have the same volume? Maybe instead of starting with a beaker full of water, use only half the amount and add the other half to the ammonia The last thing I want to mention is that when you washed your particles using the magnet to filter the good from the bad, you are actually discarding the smallest ones: this is because the smallest nanoparticles remain suspended for a much longer time. In addition, if my memory serves me well, the magnetic force decrease with the cube of the distance, so the particles in the top part of the beaker are not affected by the magnet.
I am wondering about the first steps in adding the amonia when oxidation could occur---what if that addition and reaction was in a vacuum? I realize that would be difficult, but I'm wondering if oxidation at the nanoparticle could be the main source of that 'good run' as mentioned. After all, Iron is a huge atom, compared to Oxygen, so how many potential sites (on a sphere?) are blocked by O that could have been a soap chain? I would try to pull an 'as good as you can vaccuum' during all steps in creation of the nanoparticle. I'm not a chemist, but, does nitrogen play a role in the mixing? This was riviting for every second you created. Don't ever pander to the slag, just do what you enjoy. Thank You!
him: "... and that the length of it didn't kill you" me: checks length of the video and is dumbfounded that ferrofluid could be that interesting. Man, your explanations were great, watching the whole process was really interesting and the visuals at the end were the cherry on top of this video! Really enjoyed watching, keep up the good work, even if it's without ferrofluids in the near future!
I was reading about some bugs (Dactylopius coccus) aka cochineal, that grow on my prickly pear cactus and it was very interesting that they grow this bugs to extract carminic acid, from which the natural dye carmine is derived. It would be very interesting since nile red is also a dye, if you could find a way to extract carminic acid in one of your videos. Thank you. I enjoy watching your videos and also your clean-up on nile blue

after watching your video about a year ago, i had the opportunity to play with some ferrofluid myself at NEMO Science Museum in Amsterdam. it was so cool knowing the science behind it and being able to play with a huge amount of ferrofluid (it was like a 1x1 meter dish, maybe even larger). thank you for this video sparking my interest in my now-favourite liquid!
Honestly, as a computer guy, I have very little chemistry knowledge but I've been watching all of your videos. It's strangely fascinating and your way of doing it really entertaining...who would've thought I would say that someday lol. Keep doing what you do!
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.
You should really start selling these little vials. Maybe to schools. Imagine how fun it would turn the physics class into? Also, this could actually be a handy little tool in workshops.

I think it’s due to patent laws, after patenting a product or method you get twenty years of exclusive use of it. So legally nobody can sell ferrofluid except them until the parent runs out. Anyone can make it, but you can’t do anything with it
@@since1876so what does the patent say? If it’s expired you should be able to look it up and see what they listed as their proprietary formula and information on how to manufacture it. Curious why he didn’t do that?

Wow! I had no idea this video was so long until he said that the length of the video didn't kill us. I was completely enthralled the entire 38 minutes. Totally blown away.
Curious. You know how they have leds that are individually addressable. Could you set up something similarly, but in place of leds it's a electromagnet. And the arduino. Randomly triggers the magnets based on music. Thus allowing the ferro fluid to dance around the jar as mentioned.
I’m sad I missed out on a chance to get one of these samples. This is awesome. I’ll admit to having made a mess in my garage making the classic laser copier toner and mineral oil diy mix. It always worked”ish” if I had some good powered neodymium magnets. These are awesome. Thanks for doing what you do and sharing it with the world.

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.

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

I am myself working on the measure and characterization of nanoparticles aggregation, so I have some questions and a suggestion. In my experience the nanoparticles starts to aggregate the moment they are formed and stirring greatly speed up the process: what happen to your reaction if you add the oleic acid before adding the ammonia? Another thing I noticed is that the reaction is much more reproducible and the nanoparticles are much smaller and uniform when the reagents are both as diluted as possible (the water is equally divided between the two solution): is it possible to tinker with the FeII-FeIII and ammonia solutions so that they have the same volume? Maybe instead of starting with a beaker full of water, use only half the amount and add the other half to the ammonia
The last thing I want to mention is that when you washed your particles using the magnet to filter the good from the bad, you are actually discarding the smallest ones: this is because the smallest nanoparticles remain suspended for a much longer time. In addition, if my memory serves me well, the magnetic force decrease with the cube of the distance, so the particles in the top part of the beaker are not affected by the magnet.
This comment needs to go to the top!
Beregorn88 I know nothing about this subject other than what I just learned in the video but I wholeheartedly agree! LMFAO
I hope NileRed sees this
I am wondering about the first steps in adding the amonia when oxidation could occur---what if that addition and reaction was in a vacuum? I realize that would be difficult, but I'm wondering if oxidation at the nanoparticle could be the main source of that 'good run' as mentioned. After all, Iron is a huge atom, compared to Oxygen, so how many potential sites (on a sphere?) are blocked by O that could have been a soap chain? I would try to pull an 'as good as you can vaccuum' during all steps in creation of the nanoparticle. I'm not a chemist, but, does nitrogen play a role in the mixing? This was riviting for every second you created. Don't ever pander to the slag, just do what you enjoy. Thank You!

That was actually modern art dude
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.

Kroepoek he forgot to add gunpowder
@@kroepoek3764 he tried but the explosion was to powerfull
Yeet! I have no reason to be here!
Man I want to have some of this in a jar and put electro magnets around it, controlled with an Arduino and make it fly around the jar to music...
GO MAN GO!
How would you map the movement of the music to movement in 3d space though?
@@imdone8243 That's artistic part. Lazy answer is frequency content to vertical height.
@@dcurry7287 but wouldn't that just be on the z axis with the movement of music? Or is vertical x.. i Always get those confused.
Curious. You know how they have leds that are individually addressable. Could you set up something similarly, but in place of leds it's a electromagnet. And the arduino. Randomly triggers the magnets based on music. Thus allowing the ferro fluid to dance around the jar as mentioned.
I'm super tired and half asleep so I panicked when he said "it was important not to breathe any of it in." I forgot I was watching through a screen 😅

Damn. You beat all the major players with a _better_ ferrofluid!
and simultaneously showed them how to do it
@@SimonWoodburyForget I for one prefer small batch artisanal microbrewed ferrofluid
Yeah he did ok for once hahaha love this channel
I only buy my Ferrofluid from independent makers, it tastes the best.

This comment made my teeth hurt

Think about shitting it out
I’m sad I missed out on a chance to get one of these samples. This is awesome. I’ll admit to having made a mess in my garage making the classic laser copier toner and mineral oil diy mix. It always worked”ish” if I had some good powered neodymium magnets.
These are awesome. Thanks for doing what you do and sharing it with the world.
