Ferrofluid is a liquid that is attracted to the poles of a magnet.It is a colloidal liquid made of nanoscale ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic particles suspended in a carrier fluid (usually an organic solvent or water). [1]
A ferrofluid mirror is a type of deformable mirror with a reflective liquid surface, commonly used in adaptive optics. It is made of ferrofluid and magnetic iron particles in ethylene glycol, the basis of automotive antifreeze. [1] The ferrofluid mirror changes shape instantly when a magnetic field is applied.
In this week's episode of Experimental, learn how to make magnetic ferrofluid dance unlike any other liquid!
An RF anechoic chamber used for EMC testing. In materials science, radiation-absorbent material (RAM) is a material which has been specially designed and shaped to absorb incident RF radiation (also known as non-ionising radiation), as effectively as possible, from as many incident directions as possible.
Ferrofluidic is the brand name of a staged magnetic liquid rotary sealing mechanism made by the Ferrotec Corporation. Ferrofluidic seals, also known as magnetic liquid rotary seals, are employed in various rotating equipment to facilitate rotary motion while ensuring a hermetic seal.
The U.S. Army Research Office is currently funding research into using MR fluid to enhance body armor. In 2003, researchers stated they were five to ten years away from making the fluid bullet resistant. [14] In addition, HMMWVs, and various other all-terrain vehicles employ dynamic MR shock absorbers and/or dampers.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Transportation Security Administration said its 65,000-member workforce is exempt from a Trump administration offer to quit jobs in exchange for pay and benefits ...
Making a stable ferrofluid requires solving of two problems. The first problem is settling of the particles in a magnetic or gravitational field. This problem is solved by making the magnetic particles very small, typically 10nm or smaller so that they can be kept in suspension by Brownian motion.
