Creepy slime gorges innocent magnet

Hi, these days we did a little experiment with the magnetic mass from our shop. It is some polymer with magnetic particles in it. We put a line of magnetic mass on a 12x12x12mm NdFeB Magnet and shoot some images over the two days. So watch the images below:

23.01.2011, 15:01 - Starting the experiment with the magnet and magnetic mass.

23.01.2011, 15:02 - The magnetic mass is attracted by one of the magnet poles

 

23.01.2011, 15:16 - The magnetic mass trys to reach the other magnet pole.

23.01.2011, 16:30 - The magnetic mass is creeping below the magnet and lifts it.

23.01.2011, 17:31 - The magnetic mass flows around the magnet.

23.01.2011, 19:05 - The magnetic mass pulls the magnet in direction of the bigger mass. Some of the magnetic mass sticks on the white surface.

24.01.2011, 6:28, the next day - The magnetic mass is pulling the magnet further.

 

 25.01.2011, 15:04, after two days - The magnetic mass is pulling the magnet further, but the movement is slowing down significantly. Here we stopped the experiment because we needed the camera and space for some other stuff.
