    What the role of the satured salt solution and why one month is better than 1 week?

    • @chemclassrules
      @chemclassrules  Місяць тому

      The salt in the solution kinda sticks to the glass on an atomic level, so it makes a sort of non-stick coating on the inside of the bottle. the longer it sits, the better it works

    This is so cool. You somehow make it look easier than nilered. Are there any less volatile alternatives to kerosene you could suggest? There's a "speaker grade" ferrofluid being used as a heat transfer medium in e-bike motors called "statorade", and it would be great to be able to make it. IIRC, it uses silicone oil. Just a few ml are needed to cling to the magnets, and they act like a 'blade' transferring heat from the rotor to the stator and aluminum case, and it drops the thermal resistiance by a huge amount.

      i think it might, you might not even have to adjust the surfactant. kerosene is pretty non polar and so is silicone oil. i think it would be worth a shot. that being said i don't know if id trust my first few batches going into my e bike (if i was cool enough to ride one)

      ​@@chemclassrules I'm not cool enough either, I ride a scooter.
      That's interesting, I may actually give it a try, thanks.

      @@chemclassrules it really is, I also love how the ferrofluid in game is exactly like it in real life, your character is training their iron element, by using magnets to make the ferrofluid have those spikes
