Ferrofluid

 

When placed in a magnetic field this fluid takes on the shape of the field passing through it. Ferrofluids allow us to see the lines of force in 3D , study interactions of magnetic fields and create magnetic art!

have a look at how the peaks dance around. It would be a very interesting experiment to see how the fluid would react if placed over a wire carrying an electrical current.

A change is approaching!

My original intention of this site was to spread the word on Edward Leedsklanin's magnetic current and to provide interesting observations on coral castle and things related to magnetic current.  I have come to realise when speaking to people on the topic that most of my original illustrations are not accessible any longer.  I always intended to re-illustrate them with corrections , so my apologies if you purchased anybodys publications that have my incorrect illustrations in them. I plan to re-do this whole site - or link it to a new site. And whilst blogger has worked well it might be time to use another platform. Where I will start from is the very beginning ... page.1 and move on from there. With your help and observations I will make corrections where necessary. I hope everyone gets involved in following and doing the experiments for themselves. Stay tuned..

Daniel McFarland Cook's, Electro-Magnetic Battery

Image
Over a hundred and thirty years ago Daniel McFarland Cook of Mansfield, Ohio patented an "Electro-Magnetic Battery" that he stated "produces a constant current without the aid of a galvanic battery". His patent number 119,825 was issued on October 10, 1871. Did he really make something that continuously produced electricity? This was eight years before Edison invented the light bulb. Did he actually build this, or was it just an idea that in reality does not work? This is of his patent. taken from - http://my.voyager.net/~jrrandall/CookCoil.htm
