With some funny, rather crazy experiments, I test if the homemade ferripaste really is a competitor to the expensive ferrofluid.
They will battle in 7 categories and smoke and fire are guaranteed...

The ferrofluid was donated by supermagnete.com for my 100K subscriber celebration.
You can buy it here: sumag.net/ferrofluid-x05

    "DO NOT USE FOR AUDIO APPLICATION" Proceeds to use for audio application

    After the ferripaste burned, it looked like a forest from the wizard of oz
  • @Fanimati0n
    I love how you kinda sound disappointed at how easily the ferripaste ignited. Like "oh. I guess I don't need the blowtorch? Well that's no fun."
  • 4:30 Anyone notice you could see the sound waves in the smoke? Sound waves are hard to illustrate, and therefore hard for students to visualize. A demonstration like this could help students get an intuitive grasp on how sound waves travel, and maybe even magnetic fields if you could suspect some magnetic iron dust in the smoke
  • @Streamtronics
    watching that ferropaste burn was oddly satisfying, thanks xD
  • "Even the ribbed coil pumping hard in it will not make it splatter" My mind made some interesting images just then
  • @kjkrashr91
    "kill it with fire!" "OH GOD FIRE MAKES IT WORSE!"
  • the ferripastes easy ability to burn is not bad its a feature has power run out ? no candles or flashlight? just grab a magnet a glass bowl and some ferripaste to make a nace candle that will hold on any metallic surface
  • Don't let fire play with you... But it's so hot. ooh yeah. No i'm not mature, im stilton...

    9:16 Poor little things I just imagine that they were a united and uniform group, and so they will die together :(((
  • @Chaoddity
    4:24 the sound waves in the smoke looked really cool too
  • @StarFury2
    Love how the frequency you've chose to test the subwoofer matches the background music. Small touch, but gives awesome atmosphere to the video.
  • @razie85
    I wonder if you can mix magnetite with 2part epoxy. mix hardener at last minute. would make some cool art
  • @Craigdna
    Fascinating. You are the one of a very few channels, in which I really look forward to the next video. Thank you for all of the time and effort you make in informing the public of what I believe, is the most important topic in the world today.
  • @dimitar4y
    oooh so THATS what that black stuff came out of a speaker I once disassembled! Never knew ferrofluid's practical applications :O
  • @1942bk
    Wow, I can't wait for the next video!
  • @realreasson2634
    Schade dass ich den kanal erst jetzt endecke. Ziemlich spannend/aufschlussreiche videos vor allem für alle die gern experimentieren. Danke für die mühe Brainiac. Sadly I didn't discovered your chanel earlier. Really exciting and informative video content you deliver to us. These are some interesting videos you brought to us. Thank you for your afford Brainiac.

    Amazing stuff, both ferrous materials. Kudos on taking the time to give viewers excellent closeups.
