It's commonly suspended in Kerosene, so maybe that's what they meant? Bit of a long stretch though.
I guess it would be easy to build a pump with it that has no moving parts.

NileRed is one of my favourite chemistry YouTubers, along with NurdRage. There's so much great content on his channels.
When I originally found his channel I thought he might be too young to take any sort of seriously, but he handles being that young pretty well. There isn’t a lot of YouTube nonsense, or begging for subscribers, or jokes that for extremely flat. A model for others I think. Really well done. Although... Explosions and Fire is peak YouTube Chemistry to me!

Young? He's 29? Were you mistaken or are you implying that 29 is pretty young to be creating self-aware youtube content.
Reminds me a lot of Winamp that popularised such kind of music visualisations.
In the 90's and 2000's, car radios and the like had some really interesting visualizations going on. The market for radios and music installations that aren't high-end seems to have pretty much collapsed thanks to mp3 players and bluetooth speakers though. That said, there's still things like portable karaoke speakers that still come with the bells and whistles.

Edit: it was cthugha... my old brain is failing me :)

I can't see the video, but if it's the same idea could you give some details on what you used as a suspension fluid and how you dealt with the smearing on the container?

Amusingly I made a prototype of something similar 4 years ago during university: https://www.facebook.com/1764751847/videos/10202928199083698... It was done to promote the use of Ferrofluid for DataVis rather than a consumer product.
I experimented with making a clock using ferrofluid previously. I was inspired by this clock [0] but put off by the price tag. Generally the main issues I found were that it degraded over time and I had real trouble with ferrofluid smearing on the container. Will have to try again now!

That is so cool But 12 grand!? Wow.
For anyone as fascinated with this substance as I am, here [0] is a YouTube video of someone making it 'from scratch'. It's a very detailed explanation, and includes some comparisons of the outcome VS commercial ferro fluids. [0] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6L8yUY-doNc
There's an interactive exhibit in the lobby of the New York Hall of Science that lets you deform a blob of this shiny goo. It's a lot of fun.

> This is called ferrofluid. It is a material developed by NASA in the 1960s. It was used as both spacecraft fuel and sealing material. I'm a bit curious how ferrofluid was used as a fuel.
