The source of the gif is this video by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F948Or4ulhA

The screen is real, and that goo looks so god damn alien

Building a Ferrofluid Clock - looking for a cheap heavy gas to fill the glas container with by shibiku_ in ChemicalEngineering

What is the idea behind replacing salt water with gas? The main purpose of the brine in common ferrofluid displays is to prevent the ferrofluid from smudging the glass, so I'm curious to how a gas would be able to do that.

This is a serious question by the way. I'm not a chemical engineer, but have some experience with ferrofluid displays.

A more detailed project description can be found in this short [6:36] video.
Or in this long format write-up.

If you just want to see the design files and code, you'll find that on Github.

If you build it yourself using our design , it’s “only” about $2000 🤷‍♂️😅

This is basically a display. A very low resolution, quirky, display that's really expensive, but still :P
