BURN IT! | Ferrofluid vs. Ferripaste

With some funny, rather crazy experiments, I test if the homemade ferripaste really is a competitor to the expensive ferrofluid.
They will battle in 7 categories and smoke and fire are guaranteed...
The ferrofluid was donated by supermagnete.com for my 100K subscriber celebration.

why are you setting fire to magnet sauce

As I explain in the video, I've always wanted to see how it reacts when burning near a magnet. Also a little to see how flammable it really is. I thought it was way more flammable...

After the ferripaste burned, it looked like a forest from the wizard of oz

[@shqdy5528]

YES

[@Fanimati0n]

I love how you kinda sound disappointed at how easily the ferripaste ignited. Like "oh. I guess I don't need the blowtorch? Well that's no fun."

[@brainiac75]

Yep, I thought my homemade stuff would be safer by being harder to light on fire. I was so wrong... Thanks for watching :)

[@Fanimati0n]

you're welcome. Thanks for making great videos like this.

[@sigmoidbeast7712]

MagnetoDorito on the bright side you now know how to steal credit card information-don't actually do it.

[@firstlast-cs6eg]

Can you even call the fluid flammable considering how hard it was to light and even when it did flame it was a slow gentle burn. If you call that flammable, then that's most stuff... Maybe divide that point with the fluid earlier as far as playable since that interaction with fire is interesting (but damaging something so expensive maybe not the best idea) I'd be curious what would have happened on the ball with the paste. But I suppose the same thing as the dish.

[@faeIzada]

Oi

[@TonecrafteLuthiery]

4:30 Anyone notice you could see the sound waves in the smoke? Sound waves are hard to illustrate, and therefore hard for students to visualize. A demonstration like this could help students get an intuitive grasp on how sound waves travel, and maybe even magnetic fields if you could suspect some magnetic iron dust in the smoke

[@Name-eg1uf]

Damn that's cool

[@shwndrws7785]

IKR! TL?DR: I did notice! But I wasn't sure if it was solely sound or if that was magnetic waves or inverse or the interface pattern or something else and all of the above because tbh I was mystified as to how tf a magnet was even powering it up or whatever the correct phenomenon is bc yeah I'm dumb. Growing up, we were always shown sound waves using more linear looking visuals like strings, but this DOES- you're right- prove to be a bit more fantastic. 💡Maybe a mix of this and that would work? Like say string and soup cans, something I saw as a kid,but now attaching one soup can you normally hear out of in a cloud of vapor/fume/smoke; eg the receiver is suspended in a large jug filled with a cloud of vapor/etc which is suppressed/trapped beneath pressure or anything that works and does not interfere with the string carrying the vibration.

[@fzigunov]

Those are not sound waves though. They're instability waves on the convecting plume triggered by the speaker.

[@J3xetor]

I WAS LITERALLY SCROLLING DOWN TO COMMENT THAT

[@neutronenstern.]

Nah just give them the wave equation in differential form, and they will understand. (;

[@Streamtronics]

watching that ferropaste burn was oddly satisfying, thanks xD

the ferripastes easy ability to burn is not bad its a feature has power run out ? no candles or flashlight? just grab a magnet a glass bowl and some ferripaste to make a nace candle that will hold on any metallic surface

[@brainiac75]

It does burn for a surprising long time and would be useful as a firestarter. Thanks for watching!

[@evan4686]

I feel it was about how it could be a possible danger for it to ignite and set surrounding alight with it

[@TWEAKLET]

if more oil was added while the ferripaste was burning would it wick oil like a candle?

[@tyerannical3650]

It probably would be bad for you if you smell that stuff for to long.

I wonder if you can mix magnetite with 2part epoxy. mix hardener at last minute. would make some cool art

[@WalterFabian]

razie85 Great idea! Wonder if it's possible to do. Any thoughts, master of Magnetics Brainiac?

[@brainiac75]

I doubt it would work just by mixing magnetite and epoxy glue. It will only spike, if the magnetite is covered by a surfactant. But it might work if the right surfactant is added. I have no clue which would work in epoxy.

[@israelvillafuerte2666]

sopa de fideo

[@seditt5146]

Perhaps just dumping resin over already formed spikes and allowing the liquid to simply run out afterwards

[@seditt5146]

I feel like the best art would be the Ferro paste, a large amount of it, and ignite it. After it burns trap the form in the thinnest resin one can create.

[@user-hi5uy3ws7n]

What happens when you mix ferripaste with water ? (like put some in a bottle of water for example)

[@AshBarkPerson]

knowing little, I would assume it would sink rather than spreading out.

[@TWEAKLET]

if you let it sit long enough it might actually separate the oil from the iron with oil floating and iron sinking. i assume the iron is just suspended in the oil

[@BigBrotherMateyka]

Is it a fair thing enough to say that igniting the ferrofluid and ferripaste may produce some harmful airborne by-products upon ignition? If so, I think that would be a wise disclaimer. That, and the general warning of *DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.*

[@MrNybios]

The same disclaimer should then be on every candle

[@missadissa1]

This was far in my recommendations, I love watching this kind of stuff and I love your voice

[@pvc988]

I like how you could see sound waves in the smoke when you put that sphere magnet close to the voice coil.

[@TheChemicalWorkshop]

Well, we need some time to get the materials for ferripaste but if we can make it more liquidy it will be a win for us at least (but it will be more flammable)

[@Freigeist20789]

Hey Brainiac75, could you give and recommendation from your experience on a material that repels ferrofluid? Meaning it does not stain the surface.

[@TheZoneEnder]

Freigeist 20789 Teflon Equipment?

[@disquedurdupoker9465]

Maybe supraconductors ?

[@brainiac75]

Hi. I haven't had ferrofluid near anything, that it wouldn't stick to. +TheZoneEnder mentions teflon equipment, which may be the best bet. The ferrofluid comes in a bottle marked 'HDPE Nalgene', but it doesn't seem perfect for it. Thanks for watching!

[@Freigeist20789]

So far we have tested a PFTE foil used for baking with a gridded surface structure and a rather smooth teflon block ..both did not really work. Staining is not not strong , but it still sticks easily.

[@brainiac75]

I'm not surprised. Those 10 nm magnetite particles will find holes and stick to anything solid in an air/solid boundary. Having ferrofluid in a glass container filled with a liquid (like salt water) seems to be the only place where ferrofluid only will stick to itself and not stain its surroundings.
