Magneto-Rheological (MR) Fluid
# 5H10.100
Lord Engineerings description of the fluid content:
MR fluid consists of 20-40 percent by volume of relatively pure, 3-10 micron diameter iron particles, suspended in a carrier liquid such as mineral oil, synthetic oil, water or glycol.
The fluid becomes solid in miliseconds when introduced to a magnetic field.
Instructions: Remove the magnet. Show that the fluid easily moves between syringes. Place the magnet on the junction as shown in the photo and the fluid will solidify.
