To Unclestu about the ferro fluid tweak

Unclestu:

I find you work with the ferro fluid on the laser to be quite interesting!
Is it possible that you could start a thread where you would have 1 or 2
very close up pictures of the coils, and where exactly you are putting the
ferro fluid? A few arrows would also be good. It sounds like you are applying the fluid to the copper wound coils - is this between the coils and the magnets, or just on the coils (as in soaking into them)? Also, what do you use to apply the ferro fluid to the coils?

It sounds like the fluid you use is just something you found on e-bay... would you say that it is a typical ferro fluid as far as viscosity?

Many thanks for all you great tweak posts and in-sightes! I have worked
in the area of lab vibration analysis for decades, and an quite attuned to the concepts of damping movement, resonances, and vibration.
