Improving The Worlds Largest Open-Source Ferrofluid Display

Oh my word I know that feeling @3:57 - great job - beautiful results - keep at it!

[@Scratchy1024]

They're back at it again!

[@AppliedProcrastination]

Whoop whoop! It took a while to get this one out, thanks for still being here when it went live

[@Scratchy1024]

@@AppliedProcrastination I'm glad to hear you guys are keeping safe, much luck towards improving fetch even further!

[@AllanElkaim]

Amazing work guys ! Can't wait to see the future improvements !

[@AppliedProcrastination]

Thank you! Neither can we! :D

[@ChunkySteveo]

Gorgeous display!!! Can't wait to get my hands on one, if and when you think you're ready! Love your hard work!!

Nice job! Love the name "Applied Procrastination"

A 14 min video about a ferrofluid display, 13:30 minutes shows just these two guys talking, 0:05 seconds shows the actual Ferrofluid Display working. Bold editing choice.

[@OfficialProjectSMP]

thank you for this comment, saved me time

[@christianburke2615]

Y’all are so awesome, I’m working on a ferrofluid table.

[@jackofalltrades5199]

Keep up your good work men. Your drive and knowledge gives me hope for the future!

[@sjm4306]

Yesssss! It was worth the wait to see this revision!

Thank you, it means a lot!

Here the votings from Germany: Norway 12 Points! Incredible impressive. Great job, please, continue !

Can't wait for the next one! Godt jobba!

youtube will reccomend me anything with “open-source” in the title. Im not mad!

Just found your channel through this video, already in love! you're gonna get big! Also, Great Job!

[@peakinout1]

Awesome guys , incredible stuff . Will follow u closely

[@HmmmmmLemmeThinkNo]

Great work! I'm so impressed with how it looks, and it really shows how good that anti-stain process works, too! I'd def be interested to see the bottom while more of the ferrofluid isbfurther up, but I can see that it's done great! I'm so excited to hear from you all again, and look forward to the future with you. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

[@AppliedProcrastination]

Thanks! There are definitively some stains in our display at the very bottom. I'd say the ferrofluid is getting sort of clumpy as well, so it's far from perfect, but it does really well for the relatively low amount of chemistry we had to do to get it to work. All the other descriptions we found while working on this required processing that was a lot more involved.

[@morkovija]

oh yeas! Glad to see the progress!

[@HarmAarts]

Bring on that Patron page!

[@мр.Олександр]

It's absolutely awesome 😎! I'm in love with your project and I guess I can get my own some day)

[@chriswesley594]

I just arried on your channel - it's going to be fun. Thanks. I don't have the time to watch all your videos in the DIsplay series now, but from what I can see of that huge nest of wires, you seem to be driving each magnet individually - in parallel. If that's not true, you don't need to read any more as I'm proceeding from a false premise. Usually, in matrix displays driven by microcontrollers, the matrix elements are connected to a set of common row and column lines. and then energised one at a time by driving the correct row and column line to "address" the target element. Then the array is scanned by the microntroller rapidly, so that - although only one element is ever energised at once - it looks like many are. Keyboard switches are read this way, too. In this case, the scanning regime would have to work against gravity as un-energised elements might drop their fluid globule, though I can think of a couple of ways around that, and inertia might be all you actually need. Anyway, the advantage would be vastly simplified control wiring at the expense of driver complexity. Perhaps that idea might help you somehow.

[@MichelBinkhorst]

Pretty cool upgrade!

[@DEADPOOL-ti4cs]

Won't a led matrix type circuit work for this

[@TalpaDK]

Nice display, how much power does it draw? I'm from Denmark and down here even recycled electrons are expensive (don't want to contemplate how much new ones would cost)

[@zoeyzhang9866]

welcome back guys!

5:38 - Valve has entered the chat.

[@Stratosbananas]

Awesome! cant wait for more content :D

[@RixtronixLAB]

Nice video, thanks :)

[@denizzzka]

What if magnets will be implemented as pack of multilayer PCBs coils with cores trought it?

[@AppliedProcrastination]

PCB electromagnets would be the holy grail of ferrofluid displays, we’ll talk about the concept in an upcoming video!

[@abdullaalmosalami]

That is awesome!!

[@wizardnotknown]

Imagine playing snake on this display. So cool.

[@jessemoody2218]

Awesome work guys!! How do you find time/money for this?

[@AppliedProcrastination]

Thank you! It sure takes a lot of time to make videos (not to mention the projects themselves). I guess that’s why we’re not the most frequently uploading KZbin channel 😥

[@roboteboenabotvietnam4398]

Can production technology be handed over? I will pay the fee

[@grillfluencer]

Bra jobba, stå på!

[@NicksStuff]

Could you say a word about your project ideas?

[@AppliedProcrastination]

We're looking at a few ferrofluid projects (that are not Fetch-related) and some more general electronics/maker stuff, but we'll have to wait and see which of them will materialize into videos :)

[@NicksStuff]

@@AppliedProcrastination Maybe a KZbin poll would help you decide which project will be the most interesting to your audience?

[@AppliedProcrastination]

Good idea, but we have the next few lined up already :)

[@ThylineTheGay]

5:39 do you work at valve?

[@bsuryasaradhi6816]

DONT FORGET TO PLAY BAD APPLE ON IT

[@dataplatter]

Next step, integrate electromagnets with boards…

[@AppliedProcrastination]

Yeah that's definitely the holy grail of ferrofluid displays

[@nudelbrot7791]

Please show this in movement way longer, it's so beautiful to look at (when it moves) but the editing of the video only shows about 1.5 seconds and it switches the camera perspective. I think people would like to watch this for twenty seconds, it's way too short get your brain grasp what's going on especially since 99% of the people have never seen a Ferrofluid display in their lives.

[@AppliedProcrastination]

I totally agree with you personally and we used to do this in our older videos, but we noticed that most of our viewers skipped through this part of the video (so, apparently, you and I are a minority). Maybe you will find the previous video in the Fetch-series suits your preferences better :)

[@Nomad-Rogers]

Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen, it's not going to happen.

Haha, so true 😭😂

you have IDEAS.NO that was unfortunate

You should probably rename your channel to applied incompetence 🤣 (sorry 😚)
