<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi All,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for expressing interest in doing a Ferrofluid experiment together. I'd love to make our project the centerpiece of our Art Murmur show. Art Murmur is in two weeks. I asked Jake to share his experiment during Art Murmur. He made his in like a day, and it turned out really well. He mixed MICR with cooking oil and put it between two slides with a magnetized paper clip. That was projected on a wall for a really interesting painterly effect. Very small scale and inexpensive, too.</div><div><br></div><div>So, we need Ferrofluid. I know Patrick ordered some iron oxide, and he has sent us some good links. There are different methods we can try for making the fluid ourselves, because it can be expensive to buy. I want to try a couple different recipes. Patrick can you get back to me with your reccomendations for what we should try and what we still need to buy for that?</div><div><br></div><div>I am interested in magnetizing a couple of iron sculptures that I made a long time ago. From what I understand this involves wrapping them in coated copper wire and charging them. If you find any interesting steel or iron objects, these would be good to play with. </div><div><br></div><div>We also need magnets. Powerful magnets can be taken from old hard drives, so if you have any old hard drives bring them. I will bring tools. Or if you have any magnets, bring those.</div><div><br></div><div>We should meet up soon. Could you let me know your availability? I have Weds night, Fri night, or the weekend anytime.</div><div><br></div><div>Tracy</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.funkyautomata.com">www.funkyautomata.com</a></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Jul 16, 2012, at 12:36 PM, Jehan Tremback wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Wow, imagine making a batch with a 44 lb bag, using a gigantic electromagnet, and creating the hugest ferrofluid sculpture known to man.
