That puddle of shit looking thing over there...yeah..the middle one...is the fluid...
Left shows..before the fluid is activated...and right shows after...
The MRF is behaves exactly like a cup of coffee. However, if there's a magnetic field applied through the fluid, it'll harden up (activated) in less than 10 nano seconds...
What's the use u ask?...
This fluid acts as a damper in the next generation cars (Ferrari is using that now)...to dampens out vibration by regulating magnetic field below the suspension...cool eh
The military uses this technology to make bullet proof vests...
NASA uses that for their space stations...
Nike and Reebok is looking forward in this direction...making some SmartShoe out of it...
What's with my project?
My team is currently researching on ways to implement this into any high rise building to dampens out earthquakes or tremors. Hopefully by the end of this year we show some results xD. Tough project with limited resources but fun i guess.
Wish me luck~ That concludes Part 1 of MRF
(PS: if anyone happened to be interested...hire me...hahaha)
