Nano Drops in Canada

CZ Ferrofluid Toys @ Magnetic-Gadgets.com

In Mid-August 2011, I was contacted by Alex of NeoMagnetic Gadgets about being the first retail brick and mortar store in Canada to carry CZFerro Nano dops. Off the bat we hit it off, trading entrepreneurial stories and strategies with each other. 

CZFerro is proud to represent ferrofluid in the magnetic toy market, especially in such a fresh and modern specialty store concept like NeoMagnetic Gadgets. When you get a chance, peruse through Alex's website

for some of the most interesting executive desk toys in North America :)

Ferrofluid Imagination Window

Ferrofluid Imagination Window

In early July 2011, I was contacted about making a larger version of my current toy. So I sent her (Sherry) a big long email on how to get ferrofluid not to stain, thinking she wanted to make her own display. I included pictures of the "small, smaller, nano" exhibit as an example. To my surprise Sherry visited the exact display and knew all about it!

She explained to me that she was looking for something similar, with a small variation, as an office toy for her work place. I brainstormed and came up with rough graphic image of the "Imagination Window". She liked the concept, so I started playing.. err working.

    

• 6 CZFerro Squared Executive Toys
• 6 NeoWurm magnets
• 2 NeoPwn Magnets
• Hand crafted oak frame stained ebony
• Only 99 copies will be made of this display and can be purchased on CZFerro or my Ebay Store

I ran in to some bumps in the road making the first model, mainly with the sliding panel and adding/removing the toys from the display. Lucky, my father (Dragan) who has over 30 years in custom wood working, slapped me in the back of head a couple of times, corrected my measurements and quickly solved the problem . He did all the custom work in Pierre Cardin's Maxim's Restaurant NY, so I basically couldn't of found a better person to help me with this project lol.

After the frame was done and the bottles added, there was nothing left to do but play! A big thank you to Sherry for giving me creative freedom on this display :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Steampunk Ferrofluid

Steampunk Ferrofluid by: Geir Andersen

In April 2011 I started trading emails with Geir about his idea for a ferrofluid display, after about 60 emails ( 30 of which where about music lol ), he sent me a picture of probably the most creative ferrofluid display ever made. The concepts' theme was "steampunk" ( think of Mad Max )

• 1 CZFerro Squared desk toy
• 6 Hand wrapped electro magnets 
• 1 Hand held magnetic lever
• 6 Button manual controls
• Can be hooked to computer and synced to music!

The detail put into this display is the work of a master craftsman, get the full story on this display and others made by Geir at his LMR profile.

New version of the "small, smaller, nano" exhibit at the Science Museum of Minnesota.

In May 2011 I was contacted by Mr. Aaron Prinsen of the Science Museum of Minnesota about my suspension liquid for FerroTec EFH1 ferrofluid. After a few emails I sent him and his team a sample of our CZFerro Gen3SL and they came up with the cleanest looking ferrofluid exhibits I have ever seen! The genius of this display are the vertical rods that hold the magnets, solving a lot of safety concerns with large magnets and making it extremely user friendly. The Science Museum of Minnesota is building the exhibit, and the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network is the network that the exhibit is part of and going to be distributed through. About 50 copies of the exhibit will be made in the next 2 years and sent to other museums across the country.
