FerrofluidsFollow

Those of you who are computer or mechanical engineers may already be familiar with the substance, still this is one of the most interesting materials science has yet to produce.

Ferrofluids are simply tiny ferromagnetic particles held in liquid suspension. This gives the substance most of the properties of a standard fluid with the added ability to be easily influence by a magnetic field.

Applciations include near frictionless surfaces with the added of a strong magnet, radar absorbent paint, and of course dynamic sculptures.

This is the kind of stuff they need to show kids to increase interest in math and science.

We're not going to go there anymore. They have both been instructed not to start it up again, please leave it alone.

He's good at it too.

At very least, for the next week or so there needs to be a stepping back on that topic. Thank you for your cooperation.

Understood, and thank you Allegory, for linking this video. Never seen the stuff before, and it's quite fassinating to watch.

I have nothing of meaning to add. This could be a tough week.

Kaolian if you are asking them to step back because you feel it is disruptive to the rest of the forum then that is fine. However if you are doing so out of any concern for me then I assure you it is unnecessary; no comments will now bother me.

I will not give in to any antagonism.

It is not just you or Usagichan. My concern is for the forum itself. There are legal implications here that could be a concern down the line for other users commenting on this, in posts or PM, should this incident go to trial. Yes I am being deliberatly vague here. But please, bear with me on this.
