FerroFluid

[steveo]

Hey Everyone,

I'm thinking of trying some of the famous ferrofluid that Justin from ebikes.ca has brought to our attention.

I just wanted to reach out to anyone out there that is using it currently, and how its worked for them.

I'm thinking of adding a 30ml bottle to my Hubmonster bike.. but i want to be absolutely sure its worth it..

and would love to hear before and after results

thanks

SamD experimented with some homemade stuff using magnetic toner and a carrier oil (Peanut I think he used). He hasn't reported back his findings AFAIK.

Yep. It can be made with low temp base oils or high temp oils, oils that absorb water and oils that dont.

Justins is a high temp oil base that doesn't absorb water.

I made a video with before and after motor dyno results.

Put some into my mxus couple of weeks ago and it stays about 20-30°C cooler in general on my runs.
30ml sounds like a lot i'm currently using about 6-7ml.
if you go with a ferrofluid that i's not statorade be aware of the flash point. like ferrotechs EFH1 have a flash point of 92°C
