They use different waves of magnetism to create these insane "morphing" towers check it out.

REMEMBER it is liquid, all of it!!! it is called ferrofluids

I havn't watched all of them but man this is some very cool stuff. I want some. Oh and welcome to U.M. hope you have fun.

thanks, i spend most of my time in chat but thanks for the welcome

i think you can buy those morpho towers but you know, like anything of that nature its expensive, if you know what youre doing you can make one yourself i would guess, thanks for the greetings

I was watching it and started thinking what kind of things it could be used for. For some reason i thought of using it in shock absorbers to soften or stiffen the ride with a flick of a switch.

Someone else thought of the idea though

I wonder what it would feel like when magnetized ?

Amazing stuff. Almost hypnotic.

That's incredible!!!

Thanks for the link kashshaptu

I've seen those before, there very cool. What could they be used for? Im sure a lot of possiblites, but Im drawing a blank..
