Inspired Designs The Nano 2.0, Ferrofluid Display

Description

The Nano 2.0 is constructed of glass with a magnetized
screw in the center that the ferrofluid naturally spins around. Comes with a
magnet. The magnetic top is sealed shut and stores the magnet when no longer
in use. Ferrofluid is a magnetic liquid that spikes in the presence of a
magnetic field. This display is small, but lots of fun. The volume of the
bottle is about 15 ml. From the Manufacturer What makes the ferrofluid
attracted to the thread of the screw only? It’s the way the magnetic field
permeates the screw. The ferrofluid goes to the areas of highest flux density
and edges tend to ‘focus’ the magnetic field. Why does the ferrofluid spike?
The spiking is the result of a few different forces competing with each-other.
On a fundamental level these would be the van der Waals force
(attractive/repulsive forces between molecules), gravity and the magnetic
force. In this case, the first two forces (van der Waals and gravity) manifest
themselves as surface tension and play a very big role in how the ferrofluid
spikes. Why Ferrofluid Spikes The spiking is the result of a few different
forces competing with each-other. On a fundamental level these would be the
van der Waals force (attractive/repulsive forces between molecules), gravity
and the magnetic force. Ferrofluid Spins Around Screw The ferrofluid will
conform to the magnetic field of the screw and naturally spin up and down when
a force acts upon it. This adds a whole new layer of interesting to the
ferrofluid display. Why Ferrofluid Spikes We are attracting the magnetic
nanoparticles with the magnetic field and this creates an uneven distribution
of particles, or gradient, within the ferrofluid. We Think Outside the Box At
Inspired Designs, we search for the unconventional. We concern ourselves with
obscure problems. This is why our solutions will stand out from the rest. We
apply the scientific method and rigorously experiment until we get it right,
then we do it some more. We persevere through unsatisfactory results until we
get the results that we want. We never cease to question. In this way, we
forever search outside the box of conventional wisdom. About the Startup
Describe your product in 3 words.Thought provoking funHow did you come up with
the idea for this product?A very popular demonstration of ferrofluid uses a
magnetized bolt in an open dish. I noticed how cool this was and wanted to
capture it inside of a bottle. Ferrofluid in an open dish can be insanely
messy and has to be thrown out once your done. So putting it in a bottle is
the perfect solution.What makes your product special?There a few things. The
magnetized screw is the most obvious. We also have a superior blend of high
quality ferrofluid and suspension liquid. This is important because it ensures
that the ferrofluid doesn’t stain or quickly breakdown. We have been
optimizing this formula for years using our founder’s background in chemistry
and nanotechnology along with rigorous testing.What has been the best part of
your startup experience?We love to get feedback from customers. Happy
customers make us happy. If we did something wrong, we want the opportunity to
learn from it and make it right. Amazon’s Launchpad doesn’t currently support
contacting us directly, but we’re easy to find with a quick google search. You
