Hello all, just stumbled upon this forum and need some help with a project I'm working on! Im a fashion designer by trade and have had an idea to fashion a rotating magnet on some of my most recent pieces, let me explain.
My idea is to design a self contained motor that will slowly rotate two magnets in a circular motion. That device will be attached to the inside of a jacket while, on the outside, a sealed pouch of ferrofluid suspended in mineral oil will be stitched to the front side.
The whole machine will be made for a white jacket, giving a striking contrast between the black moving ferrofluid and solid white background.
I have a background in manufacturing and Im already talking to some fabricators so I can get the custom plastic housings made. I would appreciate so much if someone could just help me with a list of the parts and simple schematic of something they think would work. I have a soldering gun and have friends that could help me out with constructing the first samples.
I appreciate anything anyone can help me with! Trying to keep this post short and simple because I know how annoying newbies can be in your field :lol: attached I have a simple sketch of what im thinking of. Let me know if anyone would like any more information.
