Some of you asked for a video of nubmer changing. Here it is completely behind the scenes with visible mechanics, enjoy: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cjvngsya64m5bb7/rhei-prototype-num...

Yeah, when there is no number it turns to big blobs of liquid that actually touch walls of the screen on both sides, so i guess its bigger than 10mm in that case

Yeah it was the biggest challenge, how to gently move liquid and not "expose" the mechanism behind it so it looks that liquid is moving on its own. I have a lot more videos, feel free to send me an email stankovicdamjan@gmail.com

It was mostly for newspaper websites so they can get photos when they are publishing stories. Thanks!

Yeah, so far no makerspace here in Serbia, however we have a lot of small local businesses and craftmans that you can pay to get something done.

Yeah making just any prototype should have been much easier, i really tried to make something that looks beautiful even when its not animated. KS, maybe one day :)

It could get away with none, however i wanted it to constantly move even while numbers are changed - otherwise i asked myself why build it out of liquid if its not moving. On the other hand, you are right, it only draws power when it moves

yeah the size is the problem definitely. I experimented a lot with electromagnets and finally gave up, any result i could get didnt leave me with this kind of animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-drmRYsvUaM

umm.. that would be very expensive :))

yeah my bad, i forgot to put a capital R which helps a lot in this case :)

At the moment its only a prototype. After some testing, if it reutrns promising results i would be more than glad to produce a smaller quantity of these. Unfortunately i have no idea about the price, sorry.

Vide is a product of two very talented guys, Djordje Stojiljkovic and Nenad Veljovic. I will pass on your compliments to them. As for the website, that would be my primary profession UX/UI design :) Althugh it was all done in 1 day.

actually this was the hardest part, how to make numbers look thick and REAL, and connected. Here is a GIF that shows this nicely: https://www.dropbox.com/s/066c8502j2zwlwo/rheiani.gif?dl=0 Thats the reason why i h

Thank you so much. I am really, considering the fact that i started almost 4 years ago, then paused after few months and then spent almost the whole last year on it. Thanks again!

Thank you, much appreciated. I think this is my favorite project so far just because i learned the most.

I am just working on this :) Somehow we missed to put a part of the transforming numbers in the video because we were on such a tight schedule. I will be updating website and more important i will launch the making of document of the whole

I had a problem with my hosting, however one of my friends solved it. Thanks so much for jumping in :)

If i use the regular ferrofluid it can last for quite long, however i dont like the effect of the fluid in that case, it has spikes and doesnt really look like a blob that i wanted to achieve. I have samples that are year old and work just

It could, currently for animation i use 5 second interval, because its much more nice to look at because liquid slowly transforms. I will include new videos an GIF to show this. However seconds would be doable but it would result in animati

Hi Henk, At the moment its working but its not perfect. The biggest challenge i had was to make this really look like fluid and kill the ferrofluid spikes. I simply wanted to animate the fluid not make it obvious that its a ferrofluid. So i

Hi DanBc, Thanks a lot! Wow... were to start.. Perhaps the biggest problem i had was preventing the ferrofluid to stain glass and aluminum frame i used for the screen. I tried to get some help on the faculty of chemistry here in Belgrade, b
