The World's Longest Ferrofluid Chain

Now you have to try with the chain hanging vertically and not laying on the ground. Im not sure the magnetic balls can hold the entire weight of the chain. You probably have to glue the balls together somehow.

[@BrianMelancon]

I notice @2:15 the ferrofluid leaves the source, goes up the arm against gravity, then at the bottom of the leg leaves the magnets and forms a puddle. What would happen if you arranged the magnets to spiral up, then have the end dip down over the container? I'd be interested to see if it continues to drip down into the source container. It's sounds like a perpetual motion machine, so there's probably something that's going to stop it from happening. It'd be interesting to discover what stops the process. EDIT: Thinking about it a little more, it's probably acting like an inside-out siphon. It probably won't work unless the drip end is lower than the source.

[@mikosoft]

I think in case of magnets perpetuum mobile is (kind of) possible. Magnets have energy so until it's depleted the perpetual motion will be happening. P.S. I've heard this explanation some time ago so I'm sure it's not precise but should be kind of correct

[@dharmabird1]

[@Soggy__302]

You had me at "Ferro fluid spaghetti"

[@I.____.....__...__]

9:25 I don't know about that. Here's a question: HOW is it moving? 🤨 Is each individual "particle" of ferrofluid zipping along the inside/outside to the end, or are they pushing the entire "stack" of already-extracted ferrofluid forward? 🤔 That it's slowing down would indicate it's likely the latter since it has an increasing amount of mass to push. (It's also amazing when plants like trees grow, pushing their cells out from the center and up. 🤯)

Is there a ferrofluid that can harden like resin? Imagine zero-g space station repairs where exterior fluid is guided and pulled into cracks with magnets from the inside before curing on command. Neat stuff!

[@blueredbrick]

This is an actual brilliant idea. It should be possible to select a UV resin that acts also as the oil solvent function in ferrofluids. Nice! And when the UV light cannot create radicals deep enough because of the black nano particlles, X raying the thing should work as well.

Can you make a perpetual motion machine by tapping off the ferrofluid at the top and letting fall back into the vessel?

No, this would not work. Otherwise when he was holding it in his hand straight up it should have been like a fountain. The ferro fluid just would go up and stay.

I'm glad you showed how you attempt to clean the fluid off the magnets cause that was my only question through the video

I can´t see any reason to stop vertically either, since it is the (repeated) magnetic field that pulls the fluid, not the capillary effect, each sphere being an independant stage.

Have you tried cleaning the ferrofluid by wrapping a VERY strong magnet in a plastic bag and putting it near the saturated (weaker) magnets. Then you can pull the ferrofluid away and reverse the plastic bag over it-all gone!

[@rafaelestremoz3253]

I would like to see if it will stop going if its going upwards. i think not as the force pulling the fluid at the tip is the magnetic field around it and every single magnet only needs to pull a little bit at a time. kinda like how electricity (the electromagnetic field not the electrons themselves) moves along a cable.

[@Longest_username_ever]

electricity don't move along a cable

[@youravghuman5231]

No, you don't have to overthink to know that it won't last long. One of the reasons is that magnets aren't permanent. Perpetual motion doesn't exist unless you find dark matter or dark magic that can defy physics non-logically.

[@h7opolo]

@@youravghuman5231 true. but, it would last a long time in a gravitational field. longer than generations, possibly civilizations.

[@stefancharon7082]

I don't think that there would be a vertical limit. If you concider any small section of vetical chain, it is the ferofluid is independent of the rest of it. As long as there is a ferofluid supply, and magnet that has yet to be coated, the fluid will keep flowing up, reaching a lower energy state with the ferofluid near the magnet.

[@zilzila]

make a circle out of magnets, you will get an eternal flow of ferrofluid

[@A._Meroy]

I guess this was meant to be a joke, as it should be clear why this wouldn't work. Because the ferrofluid always goes towards magnets that are not yet covered, once it is spread evenly across the whole circle it no longer has a reason to go anywhere

[@zilzila]

@@A._Meroy then he needs to make a longer circle, drop less ferrofluid so that this drop cannot cover the entire surface of the circle

You know what would be cool, measuring the loss of energy when these fluids climb-up a gravity well. i.e. climb up a chain of magnets. It should get colder though I don't know how measurable that would be. Same thing for light. Shoot a laser pointer straight up and it loses energy as it climbs out of the gravity well (i.e. the frequency drops as the light climbs out).
