This involves both classical and emerging areas in the physics, thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, and electrodynamics of magnetic fluids.
The scenes were intercut with each other and special effects created using Parafluid, a magnetic fluid used to create fractile-based structures.
At the time, some magnetizers attempted to channel what they thought was a magnetic "fluid"; and, sometimes, they attempted this with the "laying on of hands".
They perceived in Mesmer's magnetic fluid the justification for the notion that the Universe was a living organism.
Franz Anton Mesmer spoke of the stars, animal magnetism and magnetic fluids.
In 1851 he used what were in effect vectors in deriving magnetic equations without using Poisson's theory of magnetic fluid.
Ferrofluids can be used to transfer heat, since heat and mass transport in such magnetic fluids can be controlled using an external magnetic field.
In magnetic fluid finishing a solution of ferrofluid and abrasive particles are used as the magnetic particle mixture.
By coating these clusters with a chemical stabilizer, they can be dispersed in lubricants and magnetic fluids called "ferrofluids" with many potential uses.
Amid dim lights and ethereal music played on a glass harmonica, he infused them with an invisible "magnetic fluid" that only he was able to muster.
