Imagination has no limits-Part 2

A little update on the Morpho Towers. To those of you who want to make your own ferrofluid to play around with, here's a little guide.

Firstly, you'll need these:

1. Laser jet toner
2. Rare earth magnet (can be bought from any hardware store)
3. Some vegetable oil
   
   

Ok, when you have those, follow these steps:

1. Pour roughly 50ml of toner into a cup

2. Put 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the toner. You may need to add slightly more, depending on how much toner you use

3. Stir the mixture until it achieves a nice, thin consistency (not too thick)

4. Transfer the mixture into a smaller jar, so that it is easier to handle the mixture

5. Place the magnet underneath the jar-you'll see the same spiky effect as in the video! (If this doesn't work, you will need a stronger magnet)

Hope that helps =)
