Bluetooth Ferrofluid Speaker Turns Beats into Dancing Blobs

It’s hard to remember the number of times we’ve wanted to shut up and have our money taken; especially when cool stuff for one’s desktop has been involved. But never before have we wanted to quiet down and present funds more so than with this bluetooth ferrofluid speaker from engineer and artist Dakd Jung. Too bad for our desks, not our bank accounts that it’s not for sale.
Digg picked up on Jung’s ferrofluid innovation, which the engineer-artist recently posted to his YouTube channel. In the video immediately below, Jung shows how he built the speaker using ferrofluid a liquid consisting of iron-oxide particles, a carrier fluid like water or an organic solver, and a surfactant that binds the two together.
This speaker uses dancing ferrofluid to visualize music
The beauty of magnetism

A speaker made by artist Dakd Jung, spotted by
Gizmodo, visualizes music with ferrofluid, a liquid filled with tiny magnetic particles. The ferrofluid, a viscous black blob, reacts to an electromagnetic device and dances around in sync with the sounds being played.
The video shows Jung’s process for putting the speaker together: treating the glass container so the ferrofluid won’t stick, sanding the 3D-printed casing, and wiring up the electromagnetic device. The full prototype in action is a little less mesmerizing than his initial test that’s shown in the video because the blob breaks apart, but Jung says the speaker is still in development. He’s used ferrofluid in artworks before, including a huge ferrofluid panel and a ferrofluid “pond.”
