New PCB Electromagnets for Ferrofluid Control
11/08/2021 at 09:54 • 0 commentsI managed to design new pcb electromagnets that can control ferrofluid! Video below:
This was also tested with the Applied Procrastination's Ferrofluid Tank:

New Testing PCBs
06/26/2018 at 20:37 • 1 commentToday i have ordered some new test boards with a total of 9 pcb coils. These have different turns, and three of these coils also have a 5mm diameter hole in the middle to test them with an iron core. This should increase the magnetic field of the windings and attract stronger the ferrofluid.

First Test
06/16/2018 at 16:52 • 0 commentsFirst Ferrofluid with PCB coils test!
The magnetic field of the windings need to be a little stronger but the concept seems to be working. The idea is to have ferrofluid dancing around from a simple PCB. This is obviously just a concept but with more windings and perhaps with a core in the middle of these printed windings, it can be possible. (Also, I need to find a way not to stain the container with the ferrofluid .. its a little messy)
This was tested with my open source Linear PCB Motor board:
