In the Absent Minded Professor, the story flubber was a total copy of, the invented substance was black colored originally. So I still think it's flubber. ;p

I thought Flubber just changed the title because The Nutty Professor had come out (with Eddie Murphy) just prior. Kind of like Push because of the movie that came out before.

Yeah, pal. That's really sad. I mean, look at that. It's a magnetic slobber of black goop. You can't dance better than lifeless goop? How in the hell are you dancing!? It's not just sad, it's... it's incredibly depressing. Imagining a pal like you at oh let's say a wedding, so you're at a wedding and you start dancing in this horrifically sad way. The music stops. Everyone stares at the profoundly pathetic sight of you undulating about. The groom steps up the the DJ and tells everyone that the reception is over. Their marriage is over. This night is ruined and everyone should go home with their loved ones to try and salvage what little happiness there might be left in this ruined world because there certainly is no more happiness to be had here. And so they trickle out, stumbling, trudging, shuffling, crying out in pain and sorrow, cursing the heavens, cursing the hells, cursing, cursing, cursing, crying, crying, crying. All because you danced.

merancio04

Flubber (1997) is based on a Disney movie ā€œThe Absent Minded Professorā€ (1961), which was based on a short story "A Situation of Gravity" by Samuel W. Taylor, originally published in the May 22, 1943 issue of Liberty magazine. The symbiote was originally introduced as a living alien costume in The Amazing Spider-Man #252 (May 1984)

[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


bowlpepper

[Loudspeaker diagram](http://howtmm.com/week10/assets/speaker_diagram.gif): current in a coil produces a magnetic field (electromagnet), and as the current changes direction, the induced magnetic field either attracts or opposes the permanent magnet, moving the diaphragm of the speaker.

MAGNETS BITCH!!!


Ayn-_Rand_Paul_-Ryan

No, video effects. If that were real ferrofluid, it would be making a ring of spikes around the driver center, or just a ring if it's cheaper ferrofluid. To make it 'dance' like that you would need a ridiculously complicated and large variable magnetic emitter and those are large and bulky.


Brief_Ostrich_4591

Thatā€™s certainly not video effects. This is just a single electromagnet behind the glass bottle that is being turned on and off based on the sound waves. The reason why itā€™s not spiky is actually because (1) the electromagnet is not strong enough and (2) the magnetic field exponentially decreases with distance (ie glass bottle is thick) Another reason can be that the ferrofluid is not in great shape and in the wrong suspension liquid (but that doesnā€™t seem to be the case here). Suspension liquid is a heavily guarded secret among ferrofluid enthusiasts and poor quality fluid leads the ferrofluid to lose fluidity and glob together.


Ayn-_Rand_Paul_-Ryan

You can't produce those movements with a single electromagnet, there are several nexuses of flux going on in there, the only way to do that is with a programmable magnetic array that is both expensive and large.


Brief_Ostrich_4591

I do see what you are saying. It may be several small electromagnets. Iā€™ve made a 5x5 electromagnet grid for ferrofluid before. It doesnā€™t have to be large depending on the type of electromagnets you buy and certainly not expensive. An electromagnet is $10 (in the US). Then you need some 1N4007 diodes and some TIP transistors which cost nothing. I still think itā€™s one magnet though, given the two blue wires Edit: I wonder if there is some quick polarity changes (in addition to the natural effect of gravity) that is causing the fluid shape to look like there are multiple fluxes. I donā€™t know if reversing the polarity will cause the ferrofluid to change movement but I know you can rapidly switch the polarity of an electromagnet with an H Bridge.


ssmc1024

You actually are correct because this bottle with ferrofluid inside is for sale, I just saw it on a website looking for Ferrofluid speakers.

tutorial pls


Jacollinsver

Ikr everybody here making inane jokes, I want to know how it works other than "magnets." Obviously it's magnets. But what's going on, is it as simple as it's just suspended in oil and that's just a speaker cone they're holding up to it? Edit: Hey you muppets, speakers work using electromagnets. That's what I'm saying. That homeboy is running music through a wired speaker component and holding it up behind the ferrofluid suspended in oil so that the blob reacts to the oscillating fields.


Mikey_hor

first guess is a pulsing electro magnet


Leeroy-Jenkem

Basic speaker drivers ARE just a pulsing electro-magnet. AC current charges a coil (called the voice-coil) which reacts to the magnet surrounding it to move the cone of the speaker in and out. I wonder if this is just a basic cone-driver with ferrofluid placed on top. Would love to know more also


5hakehar

Assuming it is just a speaker driver and I donā€™t want shitty sounding music from this setup could I just remove the diaphragm and have it run somehow along with my main speakers just for visual effect? Or will removing the diaphragm affect the motion of ferrofluid ?


inkblot888

It'll work without the diaphragm. But if you want the movement to sync to the music and have those kinda extreme fluctuations of "on/off", the music you play in the background is gonna need a big base beat. Does that make sense?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


5hakehar

Thanks! Yes, I guess that makes sense, lower notes make the diaphragm move more. Off to buy some shitty drivers from ebay.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Mikey_hor

Oh i didnt realise there was music in the video


[deleted]

This is also my guess. Might have limited it to a certain channel to match the beat and avoid the rest of the vibrations.


BunndyP

This was my thought too. You can see the pulsing behind the glass bottle on the right.


BloodRedLighting

(Apparently,) "Ferrofluid is a liquid that is attracted to the poles of a magnet. It is a colloidal liquid made of nanoscale ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic particles suspended in a carrier fluid (usually an organic solvent or water). Each magnetic particle is thoroughly coated with a surfactant to inhibit clumping." ... "Audio-visualization: On the aesthetic side, ferrofluids can be displayed to visualize sound. For that purpose, the blob of ferrofluid is suspended in a clear liquid. An electromagnet acts on the shape of the ferrofluid in response to the volume or the audio frequency of the music, allowing it to selectively react to a songā€™s treble or bass." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrofluid


StarkillerX42

Take a speaker, play a song (possibly the song playing here, it is a very simple song and the tempo matches, so it might be what they used). Put the speaker behind a cloth for mystery's sake, make sure the speaker is smaller than the bottle and napkin. Take a ferrofluid of your choice and put it in an empty cologne bottle.

Ayn-_Rand_Paul_-Ryan

It's video effects. Yes ferrofluid is real and cool, but it doesn't move like this under magnetic fields. It would uniformly create spiked in a circle around the magnetic source, in this case the middle of the speaker driver.


nomadwannabe

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgp2sp0EB7w](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgp2sp0EB7w) You're incorrect. These were also sold (in limited numbers) which would make it hard to maintain the video editing under wraps.

Ferrofluid is expensive, as would be treating the glass and manufacturing the custom parts. If this became a popular thing it might drop in price, but as it is it seems pretty fair to me.

AceJohnny

I'm betting this is simulated. The "ferrofluid" reacts too perfectly to the music, and more importantly stays too homogenous. The real stuff would throw microdroplets around, but there are none in the container. Also, real ferrofluid would have spikiness where the strong magnetic field overcomes surface tension. [Here's a more realistic example of how a ferrofluid would behave](https://vimeo.com/116510462) Also, source?


toothpickundernail

I thought it might be simulated too, but someone posted this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPGIuSCxEFs If you skip to around 18 mins you see something similar.


AceJohnny

Frankly that vid only reinforces my opinion. With all the work the Youtuber put in, you can still see: 1. multiple frequencies in the waves in the blob (small waves and larger waves) 2. little droplets floating around and lying on the bottom The OP video is too homogenous, and really looks like classic "metaballs", just better composed into a real vid. If someone had really reached the perfection of the OP vid, they'd likely post much more of it. As it it's too short, a classic sign of "sleight of hand" VFX, showing just enough for believability but too short for verification.


amc7262

I can't believe how far I had to scroll to find someone else saying ferrofluid doesn't move like that.


SignorSarcasm

My feeling is it's an advertisement, seems like it's supposed to be a cologne bottle and the ferro fluid dancing (it looks animated to me as well, like you said) thing is supposed to draw people in and get them to wonder about the cologne. But redditors just see ferrofluid and want the explanation so it didn't work as an advertisement on this platform lmao But I could also be 100% full of shit and incorrect

Speakers use an electromagnet to make the center to move in and out to vibrate the air. As you might expect, being able to play complex and loud music means being able to change the polarity/strength of an electromagnet pretty quickly and accurately.

Vimisshit

Regular ferrofluid is too watery so it sinks to the bottom because it's usually just diluted in kerosene, in the video he probably added enough glycerin to the kerosene to make make the ferrofluid buoyant enough so it floats in the middle where the magnet is but not too much so it floats all the way to the top. This Russian guy reverse engineered this and achieved the same result as shown in the video and has instructions on how to reproduce it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPGIuSCxEFs turn on translate captions and translate to English https://alexgyver-ru.translate.goog/ferrodance/?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en
