• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Ive never

It’s a ferrous compound with a low melting point of 95 deg F. So it has iron in it and is magnetic. As a liquid it also has a surface tension with keeps it from dispersing when in the liquid state. It also has a shape memory ability when it returns to a solid state.

The solid compound was heated by magnetic induction. Same tech as in an induction range/burner. This raises the heat of the compound to 95 degrees and the solid melts. (State change). The induction heating is turned off and then magnets are used to guide the liquid form through the bars. As the compound cools it returns to a solid.

The robot shape is just a gimmick. It looks as if it was molded to that shape.

The compound was not acting on its own. It was acted on by humans with magnets to create an interesting video. The most interesting part is how the compound has shape memory. Shape remembering compounds have been used in aerospace for a long time. I was not aware of a state changing shape remembering compound. This technology would be great for use in aerospace because it could be transported to space as a liquid that completely fills it reservoir; and then can expand into something like a solar panel frame.

I fucking love this place! Thanks, bruh!

Is it similar to gallium? I could see that being manipulated into an alloy
Eta the more I recall that is exactly like the shit that is a byproduct of early smelting.
Since we are 98.6 it would melt when it touched you after a couple seconds.
I looked it up I think this is all that is. The south west searchers can find this. They did on blind frog ranch


I can tell you the episode if you wanna watch it
