You should mix the filings into the Resin and put a Magnet near it when it kicks, so the filings Turn to the magnet. This way you get Even more three dimentional
Oh... one more idea: you used iron fillings. You can buy a "cement dye" that is actually iron powder: it comes in red, yellow, green and black. Try that... :)
The red /brown and black cement colouring powders I've got are definitely ferromagnetic, so theyre certainly iron oxides. You can check by running a magnet up the plastic container, if thé powder follows it's ferromagnetic. Downside: they're so fine that the result is quite homogenous, darker near the poles varying to less dense further away, you don't get visible lines. The reason for the visible "lines of force" with iron filings, so rarely explained in school, is their granular structure.

If this was done in layers it would have that 3d affect your looking for, the only issue would be time because you'd want the resin to be very thin as you ad the iron as to not have big gaps in between layers
What about adding the filings after pouring the resin so that they have to descend through the liquid. Should form taller spikes as they use the resin for support. Interesting to see the results of different cure time resins.
That is a very cool outcome! I got an idea though, how about casting two hemispheres from the silicone molds and epoxying them together so you get a sphere, it would be like a cool metal filing explosion in the middle of a sphere.
*“Ahhh, iron filings, just like momma used to make. “* I find it funny that its in a shaker style container. Imagine finding this in someone spice cabinet.
@@adumbbuglovingloser3198 well iron is vital for building muscles But now I'm worried some health nut will use shredded iron as spice.. the irony!!!🤣🤣🤣
I'd love to see how it looks if you mix the iron into the resin and then pour the slurry onto a magnet. You'd probably get to see more of the field as iron is pulled from around as it sets
That's a great idea, I'd love to see that as well! It would probably be a lot like magnetic nail polish. (If he added a metallic color with it it'd be even more similar to that.)
You might get spikes like you see when a magnet interacts with ferrofluid, but the shape would remain when the resin cures. and the magnet is removed, maybe?
you need to try finer iron filings and mix them in resin before pour they still arrange themselfs on force lines but i think it will be more visualising =)
@Roderick storey The pressure pot isn't a vacuum, it basically puts so much pressure on the bubbles that they shrink to microscopic size and are no longer visible.
@Roderick storey Yep, both are valid ways, although if i recall you have to be careful with a vacuum because it is pulling the air out so sometimes it can make the bubbles spill over the top. I'm sure there are examples on Peter's channel but of course this too can be mitigated just by going slowly and being patient. My best guess as to why Peter prefers to use pressure rather than vacuum is that it's easier, you just throw it in the pressure pot, pressurise and leave it there, whereas you have to actively monitor the vacuum chamber to ensure it doesn't overflow during the air purge. I don't do this myself so i have no idea if pressure pots have their disadvantages, but it seems to me like pressure is superior in most cases. Take my opinion on this with a grain of salt, i'm just an observer with no actual resin experience.
I love when you show us the process and how things didn’t work the way you thought they would. I think the trial and error parts make your show so much better. It helps people to realize even awesome people don’t always get it right the first time.
@@peterbrownwastaken How about 3D printing a shell just slightly bigger than the failed silicone molds that is threaded and then thread together after the resin is poured?
Cons: deaths by the thousands, possibly even millions eventually. Pros: a little more Peter Brown videos than usual. ...yeah, I guess that breaks even!
I was messing with magnets the other day. Neodymium ones, but they were relatively small. Luckily I was wearing my safety glasses, as one of them launched to another one, and shattered. The only thing good about having brown pants afterwards is being able to see that they were brown with my own eyes because I was protected.
I've been enjoying these so much! Usually as soon as I see a notification I hop on to watch it, your channel is one of my favorites! I know this is a trying time for many of us, and having this to look forward to makes every day brighter!
You could probably get some thinner resin and iron powder and turn the resin into ferrofluid and then let it cure in what ever shape the magnet produces
Day five of isolation, subject has begun singing to itself, under the impression it is an amazing singer.... Madness has most definitely set in. Love the project peter!
that is such a cool idea! might have to replicate it... Also, I love when Mrs. Brown is in the video because she just sounds so nice and supportive of your crazy ideas! lol
If they're evenly distributed in the resin to start with, this'll probably get something even cooler than spikes - a 3D graph of the field, since orienting is probably easier in a thick fluid than being drawn all the way to!
My husband and I were both in awe at the first 40 seconds! Neither one of us had ever seen that demonstration. Mind you, we did have a bit of magnet intro in our elementary but not with shavings. That's super cool. (We went to completely different school districts in the USA growing up)
Was thinking about this too. Maybe salt the top of a long-cure-resin-filled container with a powerful magnet at the bottom? Then put it in a pressure pot and see how they migrate.
@@SordidEuphemism ok, how about hot gluing a donut magnet on of those plastic sheets, use just enough iron shavings to show the curve of the force. If you do it twice and use resin or something to attach the 2 half circles to make one, giving a full 3 dementinal capture.
I thought the same thing. Mix the iron into a thinner resin, put the magnets in the pressure pot, pop the mold into the pot and quickly seal it so it’s a surprise.
Between the rose and the magnets, man o' man do I wish I were your great aunt at gift giving time. :) Love looking at them, thank you for sharing them with us. Blessings!
I always say it but I’ll say it again, I love your dynamic with Mrs. Brown. She seems like a hoot! And I like that she’s supportive of your projects and accepts and loves the crazy scientist in you. It’s truly GOALS and I can only hope one day I’m half as lucky. Turning 30 soon, so it’s a bit of a bummer, but little reminders like your dynamic cheer me up! 😊
@@ChaosWolf1982 He tried it with white, uncolored resin shavings. It basically kust melted into the clear resin and disappeared. I think I have seen someone show off a blank someone made where they did what the original commenter described, and it was actually really pretty. It was very artfully done.
would love to see it done in 3d, with the manget floating in the resin rather than sitting on a flat surface you know, to see the full field of force that would be sick
My 6 year old son loved this. He thinks it looks like an explosion. Such a fun idea. We made it our own little science experiment as you were working - which do you think is stronger, the resin or the magnet? I was wrong, but he was right. The magnet WAS stronger! Great work, and thank you for a bit of fun and learning.
I gotta wonder, can you use "magic sand" also called "kinetic sand" in resin. Does the resin mess it up, canceling out tis ability to form shapes, or des the sand create bubbles
I used to do this as a child. I would go out in the yard, put the magnet in the dirt and particles would be attracted to the magnet and form a pattern. There weren't any other kids to play with in the neighborhood so i just played with magnets and dirt
I know other people suggested coasters - I would like that colorful horseshoe magnet left in there. Would be an absolutely perfect gift for a science teacher.

Silicone can be glued, provided that it's clean. It often is not clean, and release agent residues can sometimes be difficult to remove. There are specialized adhesives for the purpose, which to my recollection tend to simply be RTV silicones themselves. I've used Permatex Ultra Grey and Ultra Black for assembling things made from castable silicone. That said, gluing the mold shut would make it usable only once, and might tend to ruin the part if there is squeezeout on the inside.
Best quarantine RUclips channel! Thanks for the ongoing content, looking forward to more! I work in the SF Bay so my social distancing started the same time as yourself if I'm remembering your location correctly.
I’ve been doing these for a while now and my favorite has always been with using the sphere mold. Only I use a polypropylene clamshell style ice cube mold. Oh, and a very dangerous 1.5” square neodymium magnet that generates an amazing field! The early problems I had with them were similar to yours. Bubbles and the fact that the spherical shape bends the interior image to fill the entire space and makes it difficult to see the spikes, short of putting a flashlight directly on top of it. My work around? I would set up my mold with magnet on bottom and pour a tiny bit of resin just to sort of coat the surface in there, then “drizzle” my filings in the bottom half but only to where the peaks of the filings penetrated vertically just past the half way line, maybe half an inch or so, then I would slowly fill the bottom half with resin to where it barely covered the base of the filings but making sure I carefully covered all the peaks with a resin layer in the process then stop and wait overnight. Now everything is encased with resin so no bubbles will come out and no vac or pressure chamber needed. Once it’s hard you can close up the mold and fill it up and when that’s done you have yourself a beautiful magnetic field suspended in resin that you can see completely across horizontally and, usually, crystal clear and bubble free! I have one posted on my Instagram from a while back if you want to take a peek. Check out @jhineswoodnresinart Great job though!!
When he said “it’s certainly something every school child has seen” I was made hyper aware of how much the public education(indoctrination) system truly failed me and is further failing the up and coming youth more and more it seems. I’ve never seen this a day in my life. And indeed I was ohhhing and ahhhing at how gnarly what I was seeing was as if I were a third grade child.
I saw this and my immediate first thought after the final product reveal, as you went through the colored lights, was 'I wonder if the effect would be better, and show more of the vertical lift of the magnetic field if you used a neodymium ring.' Then I thought about a ring and a button magnet in the center and then realized I was being silly because you probably wouldn't have enough resin or a large enough pressure pot for the scale of that. Regardless -- this was awesome. Working at home, and get to watch breaking content from my favorite creators is a dream come true.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking! Mix the resin and filings, vacuum out the bubbles, THEN do the magnet! Maybe he'll try these for his next video...?
Yes!!... And you can put more magnets to create mixed lines of force... in a cylindrical shape with magnets on the ends... cool!!
Yeah. First thing that came to my mind is to make a resin-based ferrofluid, so it cures in the shape the regular one makes next to a magnet

Yes and really warm resin so that it slows easily

Or what about really strong magnets?
@@girrrrrrr2 he already used the strongest magnets he can buy

Or having two, pouring them back to back and making the fields intersect. It’d be neat.
Wife says “looks like the sink after you trim your beard”. Guilty
You cannot use magnetic fields for cleaning that. But you could maybe use electric fields in the form of charged sphere. 😄
I trimmed my beard 2 hours ago and can confirm this.
Just tell her it's because you have a jaw of iron and you're not actually shaving, you're filling it smooth

How about making micro "C" clamps to hold the mold together, or a channel type hose clamp, like they use to hold flanges together?

I thought that the pouring of the resin would move the iron around
It looks really cool 😎
It did a smidge in the first casting. The 3D parts got a bit distorted.
I like the dome but the first horseshoe shape was my favorite, so abstract and artsy!
Also: first thing would be wrapping the mold with some wire or some string, to hold it together. Just saying ;)
I think its soft silicone and will just leak anyways.
You would need some kind of clamp thingy
What about those wide rubber bands that you get on produce? It would provide even pressure around the whole ball.

Now everything is encased with resin so no bubbles will come out and no vac or pressure chamber needed.
Once it’s hard you can close up the mold and fill it up and when that’s done you have yourself a beautiful magnetic field suspended in resin that you can see completely across horizontally and, usually, crystal clear and bubble free!
I have one posted on my Instagram from a while back if you want to take a peek.

Great job though!!
I watch all your vids - really liked this one! Thanks for taking the time to film the experiment!!!
0:14 yikes I've actually never seen this before...American education at its finest lmfao
same
Got to 5:12, then a rolling aftershock hit my area. Peter talked me through. Thanks, man! 😂
Where do you live? Cause I've been having the same here happening in Utah
I love how he says that third graders do this when my eighth-grade science teacher made us do this in class.
Wow, would not have thought this was possible. Turned out gorgeous! Mahalo for sharing! : )
Day 6 of social distancing: Harnessing the power of antimatter in resin
Hypothesis. Method. Experiment. Conclusion. Publish. A true scientist. Good job!!
When all this crap is over, you could make millions selling these to science classrooms around the world.
That really was cool! Great idea Mrs. Brown!
I was hoping he would suspend the magnet so it’s ‘floating’ in the middle and mix the particles in the resin. This is cool tho
I liked the pattern with the round magnets. Would look really pretty as a pendant.
I love your work peter
Cool idea! Also: can we expect more content due to the tp shortage situation? ;p
Loving the content!!!! I would have never thought to cast this. They all look amazing!!!!!
‘every school child has seen’
I sure haven’t until now.
You went to a crappy school. I’m sorry for you.
@@censusgary Nah, just didnt go to the US. Focused on things more important theb playing with magnets
@@Stettafire there aren't things more important than physics
I have used a bunch of little spring clamps around the lip of the sphere mold to hold it together. Works pretty well.
When he said “it’s certainly something every school child has seen” I was made hyper aware of how much the public education(indoctrination) system truly failed me and is further failing the up and coming youth more and more it seems.
I’ve never seen this a day in my life. And indeed I was ohhhing and ahhhing at how gnarly what I was seeing was as if I were a third grade child.
I saw this and my immediate first thought after the final product reveal, as you went through the colored lights, was 'I wonder if the effect would be better, and show more of the vertical lift of the magnetic field if you used a neodymium ring.' Then I thought about a ring and a button magnet in the center and then realized I was being silly because you probably wouldn't have enough resin or a large enough pressure pot for the scale of that.
Regardless -- this was awesome. Working at home, and get to watch breaking content from my favorite creators is a dream come true.
Fantastic result, props to your wife she saved it.
We love you Peter!!! Please keep making your awesome videos !
I don’t know specifically what it was about this episode but it has now taken its place as my fav video hahah 😋🥰 glad to see everyone is safe and doing good in the brown household :) thanks for helping us all get away for a bit !!! Much love from Nova Scotia ! ❤️❤️❤️
