Sam Lippincott – Team Third – Ferrofluid

My team (Kenny Olavarria, Hannah DelGuercio, Peter Jakubczak, and myself) photographed ferrofluid over a magnet.

Food dye dropped into milk forms complex splash patterns when viewed from above.

Commercial smoke bombs generate particles large enough to produce colored smoke.

An ‘Ooze Tube’ toy can create concentric bubbles strong enough to deflect a drop. Meanwhile, an older dropping stream undergoes the rope coiling instability.

A hot serrated surface can propel droplets up a slight incline due to Liedenfrost film boiling.

Self-propelled water droplets race up a slight incline on a serrated heated plate due to the Liedenfrost effect.

Sunlight is concentrated into ‘caustics’ by small waves on the water surface, here near a Caribbean beach.
