Super mesmerizing to watch the ferro fluid making its way through the display.
Edit: I remember reading that the ferro fluid used in Ferrolic would begin to lose its magnetic properties a few months in -
Ferrofluids are fundamentally unstable. They're colloidal suspensions that rely on surfactants to keep the particles apart, and as the surfactants degrade, the particles start clumping together and falling out of suspension. - jpatokal [1]
Is the Rhei somehow designed to last longer? If so I would be really interested in purchasing one if you ever decide to get them into production.
