MR Fluids 
How do they work? 
• Externally applied magnetic field 
in a direction normal to the fluid 
flow direction form dipoles in the 
iron particles 
• Magnetic poles start attracting 
each others to the direction of the 
field, hence forming chains 
• The chains then form a skeleton 
within the fluid, which gains the 
fluid controllable yield stress
 General purpose oil

done! 
Required Materials to 
synthesize an MR fluid: 
• Lithium grease 
 Micron-sized iron particles
