The airbubble in the magnetic fluid - what if?

[Low-Q]

How will this translate into an overunity device?

If the bubble goes stright up, I can replace the bubble, and put a buoyancy wheel in it and let the magnetic fluid cover 1/2 the left or right side of the wheel.... that was the idea anyway - a magnetic driven buoyancy wheel so to speak. In that way it makes one of the sides of the wheel heavier, and the other lighter due to the buoyancy and rise upwards. The floats are not affected by magnetism and will not stick to the magnetic field.

However, if the bubble moves angular to the magnetic field (Actually angular to the vector between gravity and the magnetic field), to left or right, then the buoyancy wheel will not work. That's what I think. I really don't know how the bubble will act, so I bought some liquid to check it out.

Interesting, please tell us your findings.

I will tell everything about my findings...I hope I'm wrong - else someone in black suits will probably kill me...

i would assume it would be denser than water, in which case it would sink to the bottom as opposed to mixing

nevertheless my money is on the bubbles "rolling" over the ferro liquid, maybe agitating it a little bit

i think a more interesting question would be what happens if you stuck the straw in the middle of the magnetic fluid and blew bubbles

what if you put it in a hose and rolled it up and then exposed it to a magnetic field, would it straighten up or freeze in place? the video by made it appear as if it takes the shape of the magnet as opposed to the field itself

So I got my magnetic fluid. So now it's time for som testing. I will report back when I'm done.

...the fluid is quite black, so it might be hard to see where the bubble is going. I will post pictures of the experiment. Maybe a youtube video, but cannot promise that.

Cheers
