That's one of the best parts for me. If I ever find a video by The Action Lab that he doesn't say "This is so cool" in I'd be just a little disappointed. I'd still watch, but it just wouldn't carry the same sense of wonder as some of the others he's understandably gotten excited about. That's just me, though.
The way it goes from thin liquid to nearly solid gave me a really cool sci-fi tech idea... imagine a curtain of ferrofluid pouring down as a sheet in a doorway, getting recycled from a drain at the bottom, and the door frame has magnets arranged to solidify it when they're on. When it's off, the magnets turn off and the liquid stops pouring. So that lets it pour in a nice sheet but then solidify on the way down, giving you basically a liquid door that's still solid to try and walk through.
As fun as that would be, ferrofluid would stick to the magnetic forces if they were to be made "solid" like this. A great idea, but requires some form of projected suspension method to keep it all door shaped without having an actual door there.
@@Artik_Masterson Is it not possible to have the right arrangement and/or movement of magnetic fields such that they form a relatively door-shaped field?
@@IceMetalPunk not really. The ferrofluid has to stick to the source of the magnetism in order to be dense enough that it becomes hard to pass through. Magnetic fields are circular/spherical in shape, and with how it all works physically, in order to make a door with ferrofluid you would have to break the laws of physics. I don't recall if there is any way for a magnetic field to take on a particular shape, but that would be about the only way to make a wall of ferro fluid....I think
Back in the day, when Disk drives were only as big as 40MB, we used to use ferrofluid to paint on the disks looking for defects under a microscope. It was called developing the disk. It was a means for us to determine a possible cause for data errors from disc defects, or even head crashes. It was fun to play with but as you showed, it could be VERY messy! It wasn't quite as black and thick as your stuff but had more of a yellowish oily suspension fluid.
It could also be used to read magnetic strips on credit cards. I showed that to people who weren't happy I could read the bits. I had the stuff for servicing machines at work.

Well based on the Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment that is possible though it would be in a quantum superposition of being soft and hard at the same time.
@@ryansizemore5064 yes powder can be soft. I watched a show where they made a "trap" at the end of a driveway. They made a boxed in area with some sort of dirt that when just sitting there, cars could drive over, but if you shot air to it from several points underneath for a split second, then the car would sink. And it did.
Yeah, I was thinking the same. That then made me wonder whether a Ferrofluid could act as a barrier between 2 other fluids -- like a barrier between water and air, or a barrier between air and some other gas. I was reading that there are some ionic liquids like polyphenyl ether that are thick like molasses and have a very slow rate of evaporation into space. I was thinking that perhaps if a ferrofluid could be made from something like that, then it could act as a barrier between an air-filled compartment and the vacuum of outer space (sort of like that hangar-bay force field on Star Trek)
In mathematics, the magnetic field itself would be considered a force field, a field of vectors that exert a force. There's a whole world of equations to figure out how things behave within this field. (This is Calculus 3)
And then the daim ailgun behaivor too. Might be something. If the ferrofluid is locked onto the superconducter directly, will it not stay as a layer floating in space with limilar behaivors? Force field.
Grown ups don’t give up toys, they just get better ones. Magnets are like playing with a tiny planet with noticeable local gravity correlated to its size, damn I like that stuff.
It’d be interesting to see it on a hydrophobic surface. It might make it easier to actually see the structure of the magnetized ferrofluid as it might not stick to the surface it’s on. Hydrophobic gloves could work well too
I wonder what would happen if you suspended the ferro fluid over a speaker.... And then hit it with different frequencies. For example from one of your previous videos where you were trying to blow out a match.
This video made me realize that ferrofluid in a strong magnetic field is a good simulation of a super-dense liquid, could be some cool applications here
I was imagining a large spherical bath of super strong (superconducting?) ferrofluid, that was itself within a very larger, superconducting magnet, all to force incredible pressure in the very center for, like, fusion or whatnot.
Seeing a liquid turn into cones floating above a superconductor… Also speaking of superconductors, the fact that a magnet as strong as the one shown later doesn’t have a superconducting coil and thousands of amps is insane. It’s so impressive and terrifying. It’s like a condensed scrapyard electromagnet that doesn’t have a switch. I’m blown away that the fluid came out of the cup the way it did. I expected it to start out as an overwhelming struggle to keep the cup steady, followed by a huge spill onto the magnet and a thump as it falls into place. This is enormously interesting.
That could be super interesting. What happens when you combine fumed silica and ferrofluid? Fumed silica is nearly insoluble in organic solvents and acids (except hydrofluoric acid,) so it wouldn't form a solution with the ferrofluid, but I have to assume it would interfere with the normal behavior somehow. Or what if a magnet was made hydrophobic and then ferrofluid was introduced to the hydrophobic surface. It would want to roll off the edge, but I'm interested in what would happen before the ferrofluif rolls off the edge.
I think it would be cool to see what is denser; Water or hydrophobic ferro-fluid. I hypothesis that if water is denser, you'll have a cool blob ontop of the water. I imagine if you set one up in a pool with a strong magnet it could look like a black monster scurrying around. If the fluid is denser than water though, you could have a simular underwater effect. Either way would be cool.
Actually you cannot coat Ferrofluid with Hydrophobic substances as Ferrofluid has surfactants and it's actually dispersed in kerosene or organic Solvents........
None equilibrium property of an unchanged particle is not is selected from the group consisting the immediate spread direction to form an equilibria into infinity that spirals into the quanta World
What you have is a solid, suspended in a liquid, in a magnetic field, and the magnet is possibly bringing the solids as close together as they can, without becoming a bigger solid, so of course it is going to feel dense.
This is the craziest thing I have ever seen. I have always been fascinated by magnets but this demonstration is on another level. Well done The Action Lab.
No, it's basically just liquid iron. It's not that the liquid in particular is denser when near magnets, it's just that, because it's magnetic, it gets pulled against the glass causing it to get denser as a side effect.
I've learned stuff on his channel that I never even knew. I honestly enjoy watching his video's and learning it's very interesting. I am so glad I came across his channel year's ago 😊. Thank you man I very much appreciate what you do.
*What if you were using this Ferrofluid underwater? Could you still control it underwater? Could you use it to make a sort of hatch or door that separates an air-filled compartment from a water-filled compartment? Can it hold back air pressure or water pressure?*
Dude, if you get nano iron particles would they lock around the magnetic field to see the field in detail? Also, you should put a coil around it and show what putting a current throught he wire does to the magnetic field and Ferro fluid/dust
(TL;DR search RUclips for "magnetic field viewing film" for a better way to see the shape of a magnetic field) I always found it slightly frustrating that most descriptions of magnetic fields talk about "field lines" without explaining (or without explaining very well) that they are just conceptual aids that are not physical, and then go on to show iron filings lining up along these "field lines" without explaining what causes that and thus giving the impression that magnetic fields have this complex internal structure of physical "field lines" that the iron filings are revealing. Magnetic fields are continuous and there are no "lines" unless the field is a complex interaction of many different magnetic domains with different alignments and / or strengths in different places. This latter is actually what happens with iron filings and what causes them to clump up and align into lines. Because the iron filings are ferromagnetic and also long and thin, when they're placed in the magnetic field, they become magnetized and turn into tiny bar magnets and then rotate to align themselves with the field in the area around them like a compass. But because they're all tiny bar magnets, they also attract each other, so areas with a slightly density will pull filings from areas with a slightly lower density, causing them to bunch up into filaments oriented along with the magnetic field. So the filaments seen with iron filings near a magnet are caused by a combination of the magnetic field and self-interactions between the filings. The same thing happens with ferrofluid to cause the spikes: at the surface, the iron in the fluid wants to bunch together into filaments but is fighting against both gravity and the surface tension of the fluid, leading to a series of rounded spikes instead of filaments. If you want to get a better idea of the continuous nature of a magnetic field, you would ideally have the "filings" be as small as possible, able to rotate in place to show the direction and orientation of the field, but also fixed in their location so they can't clump together to form filaments. This is exactly what magnetic field viewing film does, and it's awesome for getting a better sense of what the field "looks like. Physics Girl made a good video with magnetic field viewing film a few years ago: ruclips.net/video/HodWkE0G28M/видео.html Something that would be really amazing if someone figured out how to make it work is something like a gel with embedded ferromagnetic nanoparticles which are somehow mostly transparent when randomly aligned but which become visible when aligned with a magnetic field, so that it would be like the magnetic film but in three dimensions like the ferrofluid.
Ferrofluid becomes more dense as the magnetic field increases. It can therefore be used to sort a mixture of various metals by submerging them in a vat of ferrofluid and then subjecting the vat to increasingly intense magnetic fields. The various metals will float to the surface as the field intensifies and can therefore be sorted.
We don't live in a "universe" we live on Earth. It's just Hell, Earth, Heaven. Universe means "spoken sentence" - AKA, when God said "Let there be light." It's time to wake up. Space is a lie. It's cartoons for adults. You'll never go to Mars, or the Moon, because they're lights - just like the Bible says. Nobody has or ever will escape Earth because there is a FIRMAMENT. Psalms 19:1 is written on Von Braun's headstone.
Fascinating content! Essentially, you have a fluid which employs a magnetic field to vary the fluid density. An expansion of this experiment might utilize a powerful electromagnet to allow for electric variable control of the field, & therefore fluid density. Doing this could possibly allow you to alter the effective buoyancy of other dense objects in the fluid, like making a rock sink, suspend or float by turning a potentiometer. Could be interesting to observe the behavior of mercury or gallium in such conditions as well.
6:39 that is like a non-Newtonian fluid, but instead of a viscosity change due to external forces, the magnetic field makes the liquid behaves a denser fluid.
This guy is so close to making a black hole like if he has to use strength to get into the liquid and it forces him to kinda stay out of it, it resembles a black hole.
Very cool, would be interesting to see with some vibrations introduced. Different frequencies, I imagine that could create some really weird shapes and movement

In mathematics, the magnetic field itself would be considered a force field, a field of vectors that exert a force. There's a whole world of equations to figure out how things behave within this field. (This is Calculus 3)
@@WavyCats - it's matter, not empty space - by that standard, you could declare all matter to be a "force field"
And then the daim ailgun behaivor too. Might be something. If the ferrofluid is locked onto the superconducter directly, will it not stay as a layer floating in space with limilar behaivors? Force field.
Grown ups don’t give up toys, they just get better ones.
Magnets are like playing with a tiny planet with noticeable local gravity correlated to its size, damn I like that stuff.
It’d be interesting to see it on a hydrophobic surface. It might make it easier to actually see the structure of the magnetized ferrofluid as it might not stick to the surface it’s on. Hydrophobic gloves could work well too
Does hydrophobic stuff repel all fluids or only water?
@@silvermeta2421 it is just water and some iron; so should work
@@falahati Oh ok.
Bro it's 2021 we shouldn't encourage hydrophobic behavior :)
Did he just play with his soft and hard junk? That’s SO AMAZING!!
Watching those magnets floating with ferrofluid sure is one of the most satisfying thing ever in RUclips.

I LOVE that he is just as amazed and surprised as we are lmaoo
I wonder what would happen if you suspended the ferro fluid over a speaker.... And then hit it with different frequencies. For example from one of your previous videos where you were trying to blow out a match.
I feel like this was actually just a teaser for the Venom Origin story...
Yo right bro
Facts
I found out on another vid just how similar the ferrofluid and Venom react. It's quite accurate
ruclips.net/video/L0rpkuk4WWU/видео.html
Plot twist: He actually murdered Venom!!!
This video made me realize that ferrofluid in a strong magnetic field is a good simulation of a super-dense liquid, could be some cool applications here
Only if water was ferromagnetic, we could make it super-dense whenever someone wants to cross over it and it could then turn back back to normal.
How do you clean it all up?? It seems like a nightmare lol.
I was imagining a large spherical bath of super strong (superconducting?) ferrofluid, that was itself within a very larger, superconducting magnet, all to force incredible pressure in the very center for, like, fusion or whatnot.
Do magnets usually float like that on super conductors?
@@mohazytg3270 yes you can lock them in the magnetic field
My eyes teared up a bit I think over how intensely magical this is.
Honestly more amazing that it isnt magic.
Magic is unknown science that we havent explored ywt
Yet
Seeing a liquid turn into cones floating above a superconductor… Also speaking of superconductors, the fact that a magnet as strong as the one shown later doesn’t have a superconducting coil and thousands of amps is insane. It’s so impressive and terrifying. It’s like a condensed scrapyard electromagnet that doesn’t have a switch. I’m blown away that the fluid came out of the cup the way it did. I expected it to start out as an overwhelming struggle to keep the cup steady, followed by a huge spill onto the magnet and a thump as it falls into place. This is enormously interesting.
2:53
That fluid on that object just looks like when venom transforms a man
I would like to see the ferro-fluid combined with hydrophobic property or maybe using a hydrophobic surface. That'd be so cool!!
That could be super interesting. What happens when you combine fumed silica and ferrofluid? Fumed silica is nearly insoluble in organic solvents and acids (except hydrofluoric acid,) so it wouldn't form a solution with the ferrofluid, but I have to assume it would interfere with the normal behavior somehow. Or what if a magnet was made hydrophobic and then ferrofluid was introduced to the hydrophobic surface. It would want to roll off the edge, but I'm interested in what would happen before the ferrofluif rolls off the edge.
@@ObeyCamp Yeah, I think it would float on the magnet due to the force but just barely touching it due to hydrophobic property.
I think it would be cool to see what is denser; Water or hydrophobic ferro-fluid.
I hypothesis that if water is denser, you'll have a cool blob ontop of the water. I imagine if you set one up in a pool with a strong magnet it could look like a black monster scurrying around.
If the fluid is denser than water though, you could have a simular underwater effect.
Either way would be cool.
Actually you cannot coat Ferrofluid with Hydrophobic substances as Ferrofluid has surfactants and it's actually dispersed in kerosene or organic Solvents........
None equilibrium property of an unchanged particle is not is selected from the group consisting the immediate spread direction to form an equilibria into infinity that spirals into the quanta World
6:25 “Sorry, You have to be level 21 to enter this area!”
What you have is a solid, suspended in a liquid, in a magnetic field, and the magnet is possibly bringing the solids as close together as they can, without becoming a bigger solid, so of course it is going to feel dense.
Imagine using a ferrofluid wall as a test of strength. Only the worthy may pass.
Messy.
You gain a permanent symbiote in the process!
binds with the iron in your blood. ha
This is the craziest thing I have ever seen. I have always been fascinated by magnets but this demonstration is on another level. Well done The Action Lab.
The joy of watching this video was somewhat spoiled all the time by my thoughts of cleaning up the mess.
Yeah right😂
this is such.. much.. work..setting all this up for making content out of it.. And it deserves so much more likes..
I bet we're all asking the same questions
1) What does it feel like
2) What would it taste like
~5:20 "Weirdest thing I've ever felt"
Must be pretty impressive since he almost touched some neutrons at one point!
So it's like a liquid who's density is dependant on the strength of a magnetic field affecting it?
I'd say it's more just being tugged so hard by the magnet that it gets denser as a result
No, it's basically just liquid iron. It's not that the liquid in particular is denser when near magnets, it's just that, because it's magnetic, it gets pulled against the glass causing it to get denser as a side effect.
@@supercr33p3r7 Liquid iron? oh wow hes a literall superhuman that could touch a 1400 celcius Liquid iron

*What if you were using this Ferrofluid underwater? Could you still control it underwater? Could you use it to make a sort of hatch or door that separates an air-filled compartment from a water-filled compartment? Can it hold back air pressure or water pressure?*
Those are some bold questions.
Now I also need to know
air pressure yes but idk about water since it would have to be scaled up massively to hide you secret base
These are questions that start fun expiriments like this

This was absolutely remarkable. Thank you for your research.
Dude, if you get nano iron particles would they lock around the magnetic field to see the field in detail? Also, you should put a coil around it and show what putting a current throught he wire does to the magnetic field and Ferro fluid/dust
(TL;DR search RUclips for "magnetic field viewing film" for a better way to see the shape of a magnetic field)
I always found it slightly frustrating that most descriptions of magnetic fields talk about "field lines" without explaining (or without explaining very well) that they are just conceptual aids that are not physical, and then go on to show iron filings lining up along these "field lines" without explaining what causes that and thus giving the impression that magnetic fields have this complex internal structure of physical "field lines" that the iron filings are revealing.
Magnetic fields are continuous and there are no "lines" unless the field is a complex interaction of many different magnetic domains with different alignments and / or strengths in different places. This latter is actually what happens with iron filings and what causes them to clump up and align into lines. Because the iron filings are ferromagnetic and also long and thin, when they're placed in the magnetic field, they become magnetized and turn into tiny bar magnets and then rotate to align themselves with the field in the area around them like a compass. But because they're all tiny bar magnets, they also attract each other, so areas with a slightly density will pull filings from areas with a slightly lower density, causing them to bunch up into filaments oriented along with the magnetic field. So the filaments seen with iron filings near a magnet are caused by a combination of the magnetic field and self-interactions between the filings. The same thing happens with ferrofluid to cause the spikes: at the surface, the iron in the fluid wants to bunch together into filaments but is fighting against both gravity and the surface tension of the fluid, leading to a series of rounded spikes instead of filaments.
If you want to get a better idea of the continuous nature of a magnetic field, you would ideally have the "filings" be as small as possible, able to rotate in place to show the direction and orientation of the field, but also fixed in their location so they can't clump together to form filaments. This is exactly what magnetic field viewing film does, and it's awesome for getting a better sense of what the field "looks like. Physics Girl made a good video with magnetic field viewing film a few years ago: ruclips.net/video/HodWkE0G28M/видео.html
Something that would be really amazing if someone figured out how to make it work is something like a gel with embedded ferromagnetic nanoparticles which are somehow mostly transparent when randomly aligned but which become visible when aligned with a magnetic field, so that it would be like the magnetic film but in three dimensions like the ferrofluid.

howtobasic would be proud of that patting technique
I am sure that was Hideo Kojima's favorite toy to play when he was a child!
Ferrofluid becomes more dense as the magnetic field increases. It can therefore be used to sort a mixture of various metals by submerging them in a vat of ferrofluid and then subjecting the vat to increasingly intense magnetic fields. The various metals will float to the surface as the field intensifies and can therefore be sorted.
this is endlessly satisfying to watch, thanks for dealing with the mess for us

I am mature and will not laugh at,”opening a crack”.
Where's the crack though
We don't live in a "universe" we live on Earth. It's just Hell, Earth, Heaven. Universe means "spoken sentence" - AKA, when God said "Let there be light." It's time to wake up. Space is a lie. It's cartoons for adults. You'll never go to Mars, or the Moon, because they're lights - just like the Bible says. Nobody has or ever will escape Earth because there is a FIRMAMENT. Psalms 19:1 is written on Von Braun's headstone.
Do you also believe in tooth fairy?@@basedindividual22
Pretty cool to see the defined magnetic waves like that
Fascinating content! Essentially, you have a fluid which employs a magnetic field to vary the fluid density. An expansion of this experiment might utilize a powerful electromagnet to allow for electric variable control of the field, & therefore fluid density. Doing this could possibly allow you to alter the effective buoyancy of other dense objects in the fluid, like making a rock sink, suspend or float by turning a potentiometer. Could be interesting to observe the behavior of mercury or gallium in such conditions as well.

6:39 that is like a non-Newtonian fluid, but instead of a viscosity change due to external forces, the magnetic field makes the liquid behaves a denser fluid.
This guy is so close to making a black hole like if he has to use strength to get into the liquid and it forces him to kinda stay out of it, it resembles a black hole.
lol yeah like clip-free 3d effect models in games like explosions etc
Very cool, would be interesting to see with some vibrations introduced. Different frequencies, I imagine that could create some really weird shapes and movement
