Morpho TowerIts amazing that such thing actually exist. This also prove that the human's brain is capable of many things. For the first time I've seen such a cool thing.This liquid creature is created by Sachiko Kodama. She is living in Tokyo and working in the University of Electro Comunications. She named this liquid creature Morpho Tower.
Morpho Tower is an installation that consists of two ferrofluid sculptures that moves synthetically to music. When the music starts, the magnetic field around the tower is strengthened. Spikes of ferrofluid are born from the bottom plate and move up, trembling and rotating around the edge of the iron spiral.
A liquid magnet or ferrofluid is a colloidal mixture of magnetic particles (~10 nm in diameter) in a liquid carrier. The carrier contains a surfactant to prevent the particles from sticking together. Ferrofluids can be suspended in water or in an organic fluid. A typical ferrofluid is about 5% magnetic solids, 10% surfactant, and 85% carrier, by volume. One type of ferrofluid you can make uses magnetite for the magnetic particles, oleic acid as the surfactant, and kerosene as the carrier fluid to suspend the particles.
