3-D Ink
TURNER 3.9 PEM
Question
What if ink was magnetized to make different
shapes and sizes and make the art pop-up?
Abstract
What is ink? Ink is a fluid or paste that is especially used for writing or
printing purposes, but what are the limits of ink? New artists struggle
to put their dreams to paper and make their dreams truly come alive.
This experiment brings those ideas to life making dreams come true
for the entire world to see. What if ink was magnetized to make
different shapes and sizes and make the art pop-up? If ink is
magnetized then the result will be that a variety of shapes and sizes
are created. To conduct this experiment you must pour 50mL of toner
into the beaker. Then pour 30mL of pure vegetable oil. Proceed to stir
it to a nice thin consistency ( if too thin, it might not work properly).
Pour the mixture into the long container. Touch the magnet to the
container. Observe what happens to the fluid (it should move with
the magnet and contort into intriguing shapes). Finally , experiment
with different magnets. See what happens when you drop the
magnets into the fluid. See what happens when you drop the
magnets into the liquid. By following these procedures the results
prove the hypothesis. Each magnet successfully held ink and made a
stable shape. Each magnet also sucked in a fair amount of ink when
dropped into the ink forming what seemed to be an ink cover. In
conclusion the data proved the hypothesis to be correct.
Hypothesis
If ink is magnetized then the result will be
that a variety of shapes and sizes are create
because the magnets will change the
structure, forming shapes.
Procedure
Pour 50mL of toner into the beaker.
Pour in 30mL of pure vegetable oil.
Stir it to a nice thin consistency. (If it is too thin, it
might not work properly.)
Pour the mixture into the long container.
Touch a magnet to the container. Observe what
happens to the fluid. (It should move with the
magnet and contort into intriguing shapes.)
Experiment with using other magnets. See what
happens when you drop the magnets into the
liquid.

Conclusion
What if ink was magnetized to make different
shapes and sizes and make the art pop-up?
If ink is magnetized the the result will be that
the ink does in fact make a 3-Dimensinal
shape.
The hypothesis was proven correct because
the experiment was a success and the data
proved it.
