Visualizing Magnetic Fields 2: Ferrofluid and Bubbles

Hot on the heels of the Magnetic Movie, here’s an interesting clip from photographer Kim Pimmel which visualizes magnetic fields using ferrofluids and bubbles.

I combined everyday soap bubbles with exotic ferrofluid liquid to create an eerie tale, using macro lenses and time lapse techniques. Black ferrofluid and dye race through bubble structures, drawn through by the invisible forces of capillary action and magnetism.
