Ferrofluid

[arrow564]

How do you separate the toner from the cartridge?

[fretwalker671]

IN CASE ANYONE WANTS TO TRY THIS:

it does not work with all toners... i tried it with some of my moms copier toner that she jacked from her work for which she has no remorse because it's not as bad as her embezzling millions of dollars which she is also doing.

anyway, not all toners work.

[sinned123452005]

very distracting background sound

[mochafreak111]

Haha 5 star for the hoodish mixer my homes

[TheAnimatorShow]

where can i get toner And The Sae 10?

[111Naruto12]

look at householdhacker's video for this it worked out better, no offense frogz

[Infidelnumber77]

This music is way too epic lol.

[keola310]

my thing is.. what about a surfactant?

hats stopping the magnetic particles from seperating from the oil??

or does this solustion some reason have a automatic surfactant reaction??

[frogz]

gratz on post 100

nothing stops it from seperating, just shake the bottle up when it seperates haha

[3troubledkids]

paint it black rave style

[DJstagen]

wow i thought this was a complex process but its actually quite simple nice vid and nice redneck eggbeater XD

[AQUESETEOLVIDA]

shit

[antiswattt]

hey.. im thinking about some wicked stuff.... you can make napalm with either acetone and styrofoam or gasoline and styrofoam.. just mix styrofoam into gasoline/acetone.. do you think i could make some magnesium napalm? then it would be,..,. kinda metal seeking xD that would be so badass

[44nathanambrose]

no

heat removes the magnetic effects

[antiswattt]

so.. if i have this knife blade.. which is somehow magnetic.. and i heat it.. it wont be magnetic or is it only when heated? :D

[44nathanambrose]

i believe that only depends on the type of magnet.. and also the type can effect which temp. is required before it looses the magnetic effect

[antiswattt]

hm.. ok.. its pretty annoying because if i use kclo3/Fe fp then i cant use any magnetic metals to scrape it together xP pretty long time i made that composition... now im doing some pretty much more dangerous stuff ^^

[Infidelnumber77]

...but the real question is... WHY?? 0_0

[araagrim]

what song is that?

[helloweenarctico]

paint it black from rolling stones..... in remix

[chemiealex]

That's not real ferrofluid.

You can make real ferrofluid with FeCl2, FeCl3, ammonia and tetramethylammoniahydroxide

[codwoe]

what is that black material that u use?

[pikachuthesquirtle]

not the same effect as the real one...

[Y0WA5UPDUD3]

dude u rule my cuzzen saw this vid made some when to show me triped up on the way and landed in his stuff it ruined his shirt and hes hot a brownish blackish splot on his stomic FUK U RULE!!!

[kingykingking]

is the song Painted Black??? its like technoey

[Rafterman123]

yea its Paint It Black by the Stones. They are the original.... WAY better, none of this eastern european OOFTA OOFTA shit

[flavors23]

if u wer smart u cud read at da end wut da song is

[sydnytt]

if you were smart you could type like a grownup would.

[flavors23]

well i'm not a grownup smart dip i'm 14

[ICEMANloc]

how do i get the magnets like that i have nothing that could do that shit!

[psychopathicclown]

ummm not to be a complete dick(only a partial one)but now you see why people spend a lot of money on the real thing

[riderthewake02]

thats a cheap knock off of it me and my friend are going to make the real thing

[petrolboy112]

You need to add a surfactnat such as oleic acid, apparently. Then the liquid will form spikes instead of just that blob.

[dariantrevino]

thats beyond lazy you attached a spoon to a drill

[0729051]

he mean saturated...not so thick

[NewRisingSong]

this is not Ferrofluid , i wish it was so i could create it .

[aliutku]

Ferrofluid türk işi olmuş :)

[D3adl0rd]

:P son anlamisin:D

[3981784]

this is an awsome paint it black remix

[johnyrocket223]

where can u buy it????

[insult0master]

unitednuclear(.)com

[TheAsCitiesBurn]

i cant tell if it is spiked, but i just bought some ferrofluid anyway.

[CharlesVrike]

The end product of this video shows how the fluid you make and the expencive ferrofluid are accualy easly decernable from each other. The normal fluid has spikes when in a magnetic field.

[PacVsEu]

You are half correct, the wayy he showed in the end of the video was by holding the magnet directly under the liquid if you pull it away like an inch spikes begn to forem its all about how you hold the magnet and how the distance intferes with you force.

[leprachaun69]

nice vid but the image is hard to see at the end. are you able to get the spiking action using this method or is it just a "blob" that is produced with the magnet?

[frogz]

actually it produces a rather well defined ring, my camera sucks however

[trk82]

very nice

music remix turc :)

[slimjunks]

miluakee, the best...

[frogz]

sadly, its a tool shop(menards home brand) drill but eh, it works

and yay!!! 100k views

[frogz]

to everyone: im going to do somthing friken COOL soon, i got a new video camera so you wont have to sit through the tediously long video as the new camera has a mic

[janpreet]

To make the protrusions more pointy try to lower the viscosity of the oil by adding petrol or kerosene or any other low viscosity petro product

[jlanier6]

thats good old toner cartridge powder , a laser printer uses them , use a micr or a check writing cartridge for even more fun , all it is is ground up metal filings mixed with finely ground up plastics , micr contains magnets ground up in it , have fun

[rainelinden]

some sort of iron oxide? it's the stuff they used to put in tattoos way back when.

[pie505]

what was tha black poweder

[eighty5max]

Great. The video is painfully slow while the text flies by like a humming bird on speed. You might want to re think that.

[monty222]

I can do the same with a straw...

[frogz]

for anyone wondering how to get the real 30 second time, put toner and oil in a cup and stir with a spoon, easy enough, all the extra stuff is for the video

[freaky108]

whats the black stuff? just like...powdered magnet? or iron powder or summ?

[xhalmers860]

so does toner have iron in then?

[qwertylex]

Yes toner does have iron

[Clam91]

it was actually 4 minutes not 30 seconds lol

[zsoltihungary]

de szar zene

[Mavoss]

It is toner... regular laser jet printer toner is magnetic, but this mixture acts NOTHING like Ferrofluid. It is just a ball of slop over a magnet. No spikes. No fun. Good thinking though!

[qquuaacckk]

yea they make magnetic toner its for printing checks.

[frogz]

hm

im out of ideas...

what should my next video be....

somthing involving fire....

yes.....

mmmm....fire...

[trick187kp]

how about how to make a one or two use flame thrower with a soda bottle and lighter fluid... omg its soo coooool hehe i can teach you if you want... =]

[herculespoirot]

You are really clever and brave! I'm particularly impressed by seeing you play with oil right above the power drill...

[tricecold]

WOW LOL FUNNY STUFF, also the song is from an edited version of german-turkish rapper from 1998s

[314JA]

Toner is not magnetic. It won't respond to a magnetic field. Actually, I think it is a thermosetting plastic powder.

[jonahansen]

I believe you are right. Do they actually make magnetic toner? or is this a spoof?

[pixelsfalldown]

Haha, that's a manly eggbeater you have going there.

[2DGUNNY]

omg that song its paint it black!!!!!!

[samoht1977]

Unfortunately, it is...

[Andyman3k]

Put a magnet on the drill and hold it up to the fluid and spin the drill. That would look so cool.

[aznmore]

LOL love the drill and the spoon

[anaphrodisiacxyu]

That spoon-on-a-drill is genius!

I have a toothbrush a la jigsaw.

j/k

[leebtheloser]

fucking spoon on a drill...

[youtuuba]

Ferrofluid is usually nano-scale particles in a fluid, PLUS a surficant to keep the particles from sticking together, so they move totally freely in the liquid. The particles have to be sensitive to magnetic fields without themselves being magnetic, otherwise their own fields conflict. I doubt this video shows a true ferrofluid, because particles are not small enough to be nano-scale, and because there is no surficant. This alone would keep it from working very well.

[silverduck07]

So does this get you real ferrofluid or is this something similar? I see that it's magnetic, black, and.... liquid, but I don't see those crazy ferrofluid spikes I'm used to seeing. Please reply.

[hankdmoose]

A ferrorfluid is just iron particles suspended in in a liquid, which is what you have here. You probably don't see the spikes here because the magnet used isn't strong enough to generate the field needed to hold them up the stuff up.

[BerraG]

Its not real ferrofluid, just something similar.

[kathy1cika1]

uhh i dont wanna try the spoon attached to the drill thing :/ its just weird AND SO IS THIS VEDEO!!!

:/

[lizardz23]

very good, now show us your outtake vids, you know the ones where you spill it all over the carpet!!

[lizardz23]

is that a spoon attached to a drill?? i don't think i trust you to give advice about mixing chemicals!! haha

[AuKNiFe]

nice project

but the background music seems to be too 'funny'

[777VAI777]

nice stuff...

we are gonna make a ferrofluid for a school project..

but seeing as i do lab-school i have go for the complicated way :P

[moshobmx]

stupid video

[alieneggsac]

It looks like the magnet is making a swimming turd in the fluid

[borednow]

where does one get magnetic toner then? and yeah, 4 min =/= 30 sec

[nikiboy1]

Very noce

Check out this one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=CkIstcHfk1M

[enantiodromia]

Why musy every video have some annoying crappy 'techno' blaring?

[arnold318]

it sounded like that song from twisted metal

[pulpfiction2122]

that sounded a LOT like a techno version of Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones.

[DrFreemanstein]

Thas because it is

[antdude]

What version of Rolling Stones' Paint It Black song is this?

[elcaminos]

30 second ferrofluid? how about 4 minute lack of editing skills.

[file83]

LOL - no shit, that's funny. Did he slow the video down so that 30 seconds took 4 minutes?

[ABRuZ]

i guess that the 30 seconds were the time he took to spoon-drill the ferrofluid

[nagualdesign]

spoon-drill. LOL

Nice verb.

[ABRuZ]

it might be a strange word but it is in my opinion the one that fits best^^

[LOhateVE]

ok, ive seen ferrofluid and if this is it or not who cares? I really see nothing that "cool" about a magnetic fluid, Funny that people actually buy it for $40 tho. I guess even nerds can be idiots.

[bemisme]

All this will produce is oily black goo, not ferrofluid.

You need to suspend something that is magnetic (like a fine iron dust) in the oil. The video claims that you should use 'magnetic' laser printer toner - however, there's no such thing. Laser printer toner is just carbon with a bit of plastic binder - neither which is magnetic. Look it up on wikipedia, or heck, just try sticking a magnet to the outside of a toner cartridge.

This is just a waste of time/scam.

[bingdevo]

magnetic toner is a specialist product used for the printing of cheques. This enables companies that doe a lot of business by cheque to print them instead of handwriting, last time i got a tax rebate it was in the form of a lazer printed cheque. I used to work to hp and used to forward sales enquiries for this stuff onto any number of companies specialising in this stuff. There's a whole world of stuff out there that wiki only scratches the surface of and somtimes badly.

[tripperday]

There certainly is such a thing as magnetic toner - it's used for checks and other MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) applications. The very wiki article he mentions has links to HP Material Data Safety Sheets which show there are toners that contain 45-55% iron oxide, which is indeed magnetic. If you just must have some ferrofluid to play with, this is a quick and dirty (and effective) way to make it.

[Bazz0]

That's all well and good but how much is the toner and oil gonna cost? $40 isn't much really, the toner will probably set you back a few bucks unless you work somewhere you can steal it from :P

Also it's a bit of a gamble eh? You might save a few $ making this stuff, but then again you might end up having to replace half the furniture in your house.

[Jaxiemafoozle]

Umm, cool that you can make it, but what do you use magnetic liquid for?

Also, if I were you, I'd sit on the opposite side of the camera from the light, was hard to see what was going on!

[godzilla451]

Is this supposed to be interesting?
