Ferrofluid Exhibit

Visitors interact with ferrofluid, a liquid that becomes strongly magnetized when in the presence of a magnetic field. The exhibit has two places for exploring ferrofluid. In the main cylinder, individual electro-magnets placed under metal objects allow visitors to magnetize those objects and explore how the ferrofluid climbs, descends, and makes interesting shapes. In the center of the cylinder, a dual upper and lower electro-magnet system gives the visitor the opportunity to find the balance between uppe
