Created watch with ferrofluid display Bashny.Net

First sight of the ink drops forming the digital dial display Ferollic — created by Selvam Koulmanom hours — they look almost like living creatures. They pulsate and jump, leaving a fine spray, and form lines, patterns, and finally figures. In fact, these drops are ferrofluids: magnetized liquid, which was originally created by a NASA engineer for directing propellant to the engine in conditions of weightlessness, but in recent years more and more known for its artistic abilities.



 

Koelman explains that the display of his watch is more like an aquarium than on the screen. Its lower part is filled with a ferromagnetic fluid.

"In the back of the clock built powerful electromagnets that allow you to change the shape of ferrofluids, raise them and move them, the site says Ferrolic. — Both modules, reservoir with ferromagnetic fluid and electronics, firmly fixed on aluminum frame".















Although the promotional video shows the use of display Ferrolic as a clock, Koelman argues that software is filling its product is flexible and can be reconfigured to display text of different geometric shapes and animations. It sounds quite ordinary, but look at it!

At the moment the display Ferrolic is only a prototype, but Colman is selling a limited batch of 24 units at a price of 7,500 euros (about 8,300 dollars) apiece. Give your customers a choice of wooden, leather and ceramic coating of the frame. Coalman says that his displays are completely silent and do not emit light, but future buyers need to keep in mind: technology has a lifespan of only a few months (although future versions Ferollic promise to be more durable). Although, maybe this is a plus considering how easy it is to lose track of time, watching the work of these hours. published
