    I think the issue you were having with the thickness of the ferrofluid was due to the high proportion of magnetite you used - most commercially-available ferrofluids have only a little ferrous powder in the mix.
    Try using:
    - 5ml Magnetite
    And either;
    - 95ml Magnatec, or
    - 95ml Sunflower oil (which also contains the surfactant oleic acid, but has a lower viscosity to Magnatec).

      That's not the only issues, there's also the oil's viscosity (I think sunflower oil would work much better) and the grain size of the iron oxide. Commercial ferrofluids flow as easily as they do and form those complex shapes because the iron in them is ground into nano-scale particles with an extremely consistant grain size.

    From what I have read and heard, oleic acid is a pretty common surfactant used to make ferro-fluids. But tetramethylammonium hydroxide may work better but it's kinda unsafe due to toxic vapours and such. You could try it if you want.
    P.S. These are ionic surfactants so they ought to work better.

      I mean.... These kinds of things are quite a lot more complex than what they make it out to be. Mixing oil and a magnetic substance is hardly science. When I did this in Chemistry in college, we were dealing with highly corrosive and flammable materials making it not really suitable kids in both middle and highschool. To be honest I think that most college students aren't really fit for that kind of experiments and much less interested in the theory behind it. I'm not saying that the way my college, with corrosive, mutagenic and flammable substances, did it is the only way to produce ferrofluid, but showing how to do it leaves people none the wiser as to how the world works. The theory is what is important, showing the students how it applies to reality is the experiments job.

    If you use a less finely powdered magnetite, it is likely that the spikes will be more pronounced. The source of such material is on most beaches in the world, which usually contain a high percentage of this oxide of iron.
    It is easily collected in dry sand by holding a magnet on the outside of a clear bag then placing some sand inside. Once the sand is jostled a bit such that magnetite sticks to the inside of the bag, dump the rest of the sand out. The accumulated magnetite could be collected afterward in another bag.
    Alternatively, use a large ring magnet to drag through the sand by a cord. Periodically, shake the white sand off before collecting the black into a bag. Finally, use a magnet to purify your final batch.

  • @Suvrat11

    Try using different kinds of oils and even different fluids apart from motor oil and water to see if it becomes thin
    Maybe adding some ethanol might work
    If it works you can set it on fire and it will become a flaming Ferro fluid

  • @Vedrajrm
    @Vedrajrm 6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Try using a shear thinning surfactant.
    Those are the liquids who's viscosity reduces as you subject it to shear forces(like intense mixing)
    That way it can be more runny

    • @charlescooperderose8872
      @charlescooperderose8872 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Why not just heat the oil up.

    • @charlescooperderose8872
      @charlescooperderose8872 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Vedraj r.m so basically you’re referring to friction, when you say “like intense mixing.” Everyone knows that friction creates heat, if they dont then there’s something wrong with them, but my point being, why are you talking about shear thinning surfactants when all you would need to do is put the oil in a pot, and heat it up on the stove. Why would you possibly want to make this more hard then it needs to be? What happens to engine oil as it’s heated? It gets runny, it thins down in viscosity. The guy in this vid wanting to know how to get his oil runny is not very smart if he has to rely on us for ideas. Keep it simple for crying out loud.

      He asks us for what we want to see, plus look at the plethora of videos he has made, also I would not put motor oil next to an open flame, that's potentially a bad idea, but adding something like graphite or graphene to an oil base that is not so dense but more viscous would work. As would cutting it with detergent... You would get an amber(ish) coloured ferrofluid similar to ratsmilk (a brand of commercially available Ferrofluid)

  • @squishy312

    I have an experiment you might like that's a little like this one but the end product can be used not only in schools as teaching aids but it can also be sold to art collectors! your challenge (should you choose to accept it) is:
    What type of artwork you can come up with using iron oxide and resins?
    or if possible colored resins
    another experiment that could give you a million likes is using this same material but considering everyone has seen what some of the final products look like on one side, but never see the full magnetic field because it's always either half of the field because it's done through glass, plastic or other containers and the magnet is on the other or placing the magnet in the fluid and get most of the field but it can only go so far because of gravity.
    challenge:
    Find a place where you can show everyone (including me, because I'd never get the chance to try it ) what the full magnetic field would look like if gravity were stopped from giving it a limit.

    Try synthetic valve oil for trumpets instead, it is of a much thinner consistency.

    If you get oil or gasoline on a surface you don't want it on. Mix the newly stained spot with mineral oil. The two oil types mix well. Then use a standard concentrated liquid dish soap. It cleans and removes mineral oil. Thus removing both oil types.

    Not quite ferrofluid, but if you want to freeze the 'flower', then use iron powder in Rimmel 60 seconds nail polish. The polish does get squeezed out a bit, but if you leave it sitting on the magnet for a few hours it dries and stays in place after the magnet is removed. Best performed on a clear class plate, since then you can view from below. I haven't tried it with iron oxide, but the iron powder was non-reflective making it hard to photograph.
