Magnetic Motor Oil? | Easy DIY ferrofluid

Wanna try ferrofluid yourself but don't want to pay the premium price? In this video I show you how to make your own very easily and cheaply!
I couldn't get the common DIY recipes found online to work well but in desperation found another way through my own experiments. I call it ferripaste since it isn't as fluid as the commercial stuff - but that only makes it even more interesting to play with. It will behave in a more varying ways to a magnet than just spikes like the ferrofluid.
Hope you can use it to make you own amazing ferripaste experiments :)

all of those "Most satisfying​" videos on KZbin absolutely do not compare to the science in this video... I could watch that fluid all day! congratulations, sir! you have earned my 👍!

[@Deuce-xj2xl]

Tater Roberts me too I agree

[@aerobug5804]

+Arne Hurnik stop.

[@tienattwater9878]

stop it. get some help. :)

[@gorinator]

You could so easily be taking a low effort click-bait approach with these videos. Instead you tell a story, and create genuine suspense, instead of fabricating suspense by being misleading. And we actually learn something. I appreciate that :)

*"Tighten your sphincters."*

"Tighten your sphinkters - I am going for turbo mode!" ROFL

[@Johnwalter1044]

Awesome video! Fantastic work! You should try your Ferropaste when it's really cold and really hot, so we can see how different the spikes will be.

[@atxgIII]

You have a gift for storytelling and teaching Brainiac75. I'm not even into ferrofluid, nor magnets, but I found this video after a long day of work, and your art of editing, composition, lighting, and narration just made everything better. I even learned a few things after watching! If the comments you receive aren't obvious, let me remind you that you are a treasure for KZbin, thank you for all that you do, and for always putting your heart into it!

[@Disco-to3is]

Great content again man, one of the best channels on this site.

[@Ambrose4k]

[@Ambrose4k]

great

[@Disco-to3is]

ham roast I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@flori8320]

Mesmerizing... I really like the fact that you showed us what did not work with other oils, thanks man !

[@maxximumb]

Great video as always. I like the ridges your paste formed, they seem more interesting than the boring points that always seem to dominate ferrofluid videos.

[@IbakonFerba]

I really enjoyed it! It's fascinating how it doesn't just form spikes but more interesting structures

[@VidalMedUser]

Absolutely brilliant Brainiac. I have looked for a suitable surfectant for ever, and here is both a carrier an surfectant in one go, at a low price. Keep on the good work.

[@bryanp.1327]

I really don't know how this channel doesn't have more subscribers with the quality of content you produce.

[@Venoseth]

I really liked the visualization of one of the 4 basic forces of the universe. Appreciated the interesting explanation at the end, too.

[@tazzman62]

That was awesome! You should try putting florescent dye in that fluid.

[@dawgnolsactivities5491]

the formation your Feripaste make are more irregular than the commercial stuff. I'd say it's more pretty. I could sit for while just watching the different shapes. Very cool, it's the best way to visualise how the magnetic field works. Great way to start a fresh week. Thanks, I always enjoy your videos. They are honest and educational as well as interesting. Have a good well :)

[@thomascarey1849]

Stumbled across this channel by accident. Genuinely surprised you haven't got more subs as it's a brilliant channel. You explain everything in depth and perfectly and your voice is soothing yet captivating, able to keep an audience enthralled. Great channel 👍🏻

[@brainiac75]

Thank you very much :) KZbin just prefers to promote channels with daily or at minimum weekly uploads. Something I will never be able to achieve making videos of higher quality. My channel is however steadily growing, so I'm not complaining at all!

[@denniskwok7613]

Thanks for this! I've been looking for a cheap and effective alternative to ferrofluid to use in an afterschool STEM Club session.

[@abdulazizaljuaid2888]

Such high quality content, you are and will always be my favourite youtube channel.

[@harispapastathis2985]

Excellent recipe, Chef. This one takes cooking to a completely different level!

[@danielwagner906]

I love your dry humor. The experiments are great too. Thank you.

[@cosmogyral-delirium]

I like how the spikes join together almost like mountain ridges here, as opposed to the discrete spikes you usually see in commercial ferrofluid. Reminds me of fingerprints :)

[@moiquiregardevideo]

The magnetic lines seems to act like aurore boreale, northern lights. Alan Turing explained mathematically how the embryo of plants and animals could form geometric patterns. Basically, two competing type of cells with different grow rate. I asked twin brothers if they had same digital print. The negative indicate that a random process is involved.

[@joecasullo7633]

So cool, you always do a great job with the videos.

[@00ACGaming00]

Absolutely love the ridges it makes

[@SUNNYCURLYGIRL]

LOVED IT!! Happy for you that you made it to make your own one ! YAY!!

[@Damislego]

Amazing worth waiting for every new video

[@jeffrobur6227]

oh my god, i was totally astonished, if i had big magnet i would abstolutely make this thing :D

[@gregoryhart811]

My car has a drain plug on the transmission with a magnet designed to collect metal shavings. When I changed the transmission fluid a few months ago, I scraped off what the plug collected into a plastic container and played with it for the longest time. It was pretty much a ferripaste because it spiked in the same way. Got excited when I saw he used motor oil! Great video!

That was amazing, I will try to make this at home! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, I loved chemistry when I was at school and with you, I have found my passion for it again.

[@grinreaperoftrolls7528]

THAT WAS AMAZING! I would like to see what a tesla coil does to ferripuddy, ferrofluid, and other stuff.

one word : Awesome !

[@christopherandersen9187]

out of everything i have on here for subscriptions, this is the only channel with notifications turned on, and it is very worth it

[@Namenamenos]

This video was very beautiful to watch. Especially with the music selection, it made me feel very relaxed.

[@pablonaim2940]

Great video, ferrofluid is very cool!

[@Gunbudder]

i enjoyed it. looked awesome

[@NickDrudge]

This was absolutely wonderful! Keep it up! Nice to see you can get something working for fairly cheap!

[@WalterFabian]

As per your question: Absolutely enjoyed it! Great, high quality video as always!

[@xmodalloy]

I think you made 'FerroMud'. Love it though!

[@V1K1NGofDOOM]

I enjoyed it :)

[@jamiemcdonald5923]

That’s some cool shit👍will be trying this one

[@williambianchi2006]

I enjoyed it because it freaked me out, tightened sphincter and all.🙂 Thank you for posting

[@awakenedape1052]

Wow, what a beautiful video. I never knew magnets could be so strange. Thank you!

[@Yipper64]

i noticed the ferrifluid has a different, more irregular shape... kind of like a pinecone, as opposed to the perfect spikes of the ferrofluid

[@-a13x-75]

If you had a ball mill you could make the particles of iron oxide even smaller. That and a motor oil with a lower viscosity might work even better!

[@SebastianBlix]

Thank you so much for the trypo warning. The video was fascinating, and since I knew they were coming the hairy parts were easier to manage. Thumbs up!

I enjoy ALL of your videos. I wish to thank you for everything you upload for us.

Did I enjoy it? YES! That stuff is fun. Interesting the patterns it produced, compared to regular ferrofluid.

That was fun, informative and inspiring! Keep doing what you're doing!

>new video from Brainiac >trypophobia warning Screw my phobias, LET'S GO! Did not get disturbed, to be honest. Really good video!

[@amyrogers7628]

What phobias?

[@jokumukamikalie]

Trypophobia. Yea yea, it's not a real phobia but it sure is a real and terrifying issue.

[@chimpsley]

Is it a fear of spikes?

[@jokumukamikalie]

Sort of "fear of holes". Google it, and search for images.

[@skyehimalaya8047]

I Doubt You Have Trypophobia. As It's Quite Fucking Rare And I've Met So-Called "Trpophobia Sufferers" All Over The internet, In The Hundreds.

[@Sam-ze9mo]

man, you were right about the trypophobia thing... beautiful and disturbing at the same time!

[@r_angel_ov]

bird on a rock so sad :( what is the feeling having trypophobia?

[@Sam-ze9mo]

not good. I get itchy and feel kinda nauseous.

[@da4127]

Sorry to break it to you, but those are not the symptoms of a real phobia.

[@Sam-ze9mo]

whether it's a real phobia or not that stuff just bothers me

[@r_angel_ov]

bird on a rock It is ok.. There is nothing wrong with it... I just couldn't imagine it :D

[@thelamb288]

Long awaited, and well worth it. I was wondering if you would put your "Monster" magnet to the 'paste' side on, and you did. The patterns are stunning in there own right. I also learnt that there are two types of 'fluid/paste' which I would never have known but for you. I also enjoyed how soothing it was to learn because of the background music selected. That in itself is a powerful leanring aid. 11/10 on this one and, Cheers.

[@Sam-nj2zw]

You are so awesome, because you put so much time and effort in your videos. Absolutely love it.

Anything goes away if you add a strong enough acid

I sure gave up... They were heavily-worn bowls with a lot of tiny scratches. Nearly impossible to clean out from the scratches - much easier to buy some cheap new ones :) Thanks for watching!

[@williamroden8495]

Well I watched it all the way to the end. I am not freaked out over this. You have officially made me a freak for magnetism. A couple of the patterns looked like a big shinny black dahlia blossom. Awesome ! - - to borrow a word from you. LIQUIDS , AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, CAN BE MADE TO TAKE ON SHAPES , FORM PATTERNS, AND MOVE NOT ONLY UPGRADE, BUT APPEAR TO MOVE ALMOST UPRIGHT! Going beyond what was done with the commercially bought product, your home experimental solution performs as well or better. You are one helluva man. Congratulations!

[@kittykat5797]

Putting on the ferripaste show had such a calming effect :)

[@wardog3d]

So I have to know... are the spikes hard to the touch when you put your hand on it or are they soft and gooey?

[@brainiac75]

Hmm, I haven't actually touched the spikes on ferripaste, only on ferrofluid. The spikes on ferrofluid are soft as a liquid. I imagine the ferripaste's spikes are a little tougher to the touch, but still very soft and gooey. Thanks for watching!

[@StephBruv]

What happens when you put ferrofluid in a balloon? And play with it?

[@The5thorseman]

The exact same thing, but inside a thin rubber pouch. Plus you'll probably break it with a strong magnet and then you've got to clean up your magnet, more than likely waste a bunch of fluid, and pray it didn't get on anything you care about

[@vaalrdaily7438]

What do SJW's have to do with trypophobia lmao?

[@jalexander9520]

It is a phobia. People often have trypophobic sensitivities, which they call trypophobia, but they're really just people being uncomfortable. If you truly had trypophobia, you would actually FEAR repeated patterns of holes, rather than just being uncomfortable around them. In some cases, people will even have panic attacks, as with any phobia.

So...I’m just now seeing this video and I loved every second of it! The music definitely put me to sleep while watching it which is also a good thing...because it’s 3am and I can’t sleep. I need this on an endless loop.

[@jaredtmorris]

[@petermenzies9193]

I like how it looks more lifelike because of how different each spike/spine looks.

[@rayewhitfield9656]

I was mesmerized.could have watched for hours

[@OligoST]

The first test with the medium sized batch of ferropaste is awesome! To me it looks more promising than ferrofluid because you can see actual lines of the magnetic field and not just spikes, you could use that to map out the magnetic field

[@zfusion5758]

This is mind-blowing and amazing! I actually like science because it reveals so many interesting things!
