Anyone know if its possible to suspend iron particles or any ferrite particles for that matter in sodium and reach a ferrofluid state? I want to make a dynamo that I can try to influence the flow magnetically and it seems the only ferro-metal available is mercury.. eh I don't want to pay for that shipping lol Nak might work too but its even more dangerous almost. any ideas?
sodium mercuy amalgam is the molecule of the day! moleculeoftheday How do you plan on influencing the flow magnetically in a dynamo? put this fluid into a bubble with two electrodes at either end and watch it spin? Sounds like a decent idea for a MHD generator.
