Ferrolic: clock on ferrofluid
// player.vimeo.com/video/116510462 video>
As is known, a ferromagnetic fluid (ferrofluid) responsive to a magnetic field. Developer desktop clock Ferrolic use this property to create a stunningly beautiful effect. The numbers on the dial of this watch changes like little creatures, drops floating from place to place.
The colloidal system present ferrofluid magnetic particles of nanometer size (ferromagnetic). They also respond to an external magnetic field. The fluid sandwiched between two glass panes and moved by the magnets, hidden behind a screen.
Due to the natural dynamics of droplet moving in an unpredictable manner. It only enhances the visual effect. In principle, such a display can be used not only as a clock, and display other forms and drawings. On the "live" screen you can watch the whole day in a row.
Hours worked out Dutch designer Zelf Koelma (Zelf Koelma) with the help of experts from the Eindhoven University of Technology and Carnegie Mellon University. Hours not in the open market, the designer produced a limited edition of 24 pieces, which sells at transcendent prices as works of art.
Generally, a ferrofluid can do a lot of cool stuff. For example, the developers of Fluux Design Lab last year, made the world's first ferromagnetic suspension Fluux LiquiMetal , which changes color. Control is neodymium magnetic wand.
P.S. The device described in Ferrolic article , sent developers on International Symposium on Electronic Art. (Thank you, tyomitch )
