AlphaPhoenix | Crystals: raw footage - the water-bath-magnet demo @AlphaPhoenixChannel | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 12 hours ago
For those who are more curious, this video is some raw timelapse footage of the water-bath-magnet demo. This demo shows formation of 2D crystals, sometimes more effectively than others. The first time I tried to make the hexagonal crystal, for example, I had way too many disks in the pool. Because they were running into the walls, they didn't have enough freedom get to their ideal arrangement, and the perfect "crystal" never formed. It's interesting where this model is similar to and very different from "real life" crystallization.
I'd love to try this out in massive scale, like a 10'x10' shallow pool of water and a couple thousand magnets...
