FIRST TIME EVER SEEN!! How to make the best ferrofluid suspension

Ive been experimenting with ferrofluid suspensions for a LONG TIME.

ferrofluid is very cheap on ebay.......ultimately you only need a small vial to make a LOT of testers

(people LOOOOVE them as gifts)!!!!!!

Cost to make? About $1 or less EACH.


You need test tubes, ferrofluid, rubbing alcohol, baby oil/mineral oil
sugar and water.

1. type 1, add 5-12 drops of ferrofluid , then add 70% rubbing alcohol
RESULT: Makes very very fine hair like spikes (regardless of the magnet)

2. type 2.......add a large pinch of sugar to test tube 3/4 full with water...shake it.......THEN add 5-12 drops of ferrofluid , then fill to full and cap it.

RESULT: This makes the large teardrop shapes and diff field effects than #1.
