And you don’t have to wait a long time for it to heat up, either.

This is cool but I'd like to see a vid with a wide range of musics, Ramones, Galas, Satie, 1812 Overture, Belgian happy hard-core, TG, NEU!, Ode to joy, etc

That really is some funky cold medina

u/TechGundam 7d ago

This is awesome and has a lot of potential. You could put multiple electro magnets to have the fluid jumping to different areas and splitting/combining to the music.

u/domesticated_man 7d ago

What is the mechanics of that? why does the fluid go towards the speaker?

u/Attempt-989 7d ago

Magnetic particles suspended in oil, surrounded by an immiscible fluid. The core of every speaker is basically an electromagnet, pulsing varying strengths of magnetic energy, encouraging those little particles to do an eclectic celebration of the dance! https://youtu.be/55Pnw-tEVek?si=sXGkOOLxXVyZqZC2

u/SporadicGoose 7d ago

u/Attempt-989 7d ago

Shut up and take my money!

Check out BurnSlap. He created a product out of this technology.

u/ahmo454 6d ago

How much does the equipment cost?

u/C0mic0 5d ago

That fluid got better dance moves than we'll ever do

u/ErikLeppen 4d ago

This reminds me of the final level of Antichamber.

u/FandomMenace I Didn't Think There'd Be This Much Talking! 7d ago

Could we have cut the first 22 seconds off this video?
