A strange and amazing mixture known as ferrofluid is made up of insoluble nanoscale ferromagnetic particles suspended in an oily fluid. These particles are forced to clump together and start dancing in an infinite variety of shapes that appear to be nearly alive in motion when exposed to a strong magnetic source. Imagine the same bizarrely mesmerizing effect being used on an audio system that is designed to transform music into a dancing globular dance party.

The
Van der Waals Bluetooth 5.1, USB-C speaker resembles an inclined snow globe and is named after Dutch physicist and Nobel winner Johannes Diderik van der Waals. However, the Van der Waals exhibits a 9-inch ferromagnetic visualizer with what can only be characterized as a snot-like splot of ferrofluid inside, not a small winter wonderland. The liquid responds to frequencies and music loudness by undulating and moving like an unrestrained Burning Man reveler when paired with two 15-watt mid-bass speakers and two 15-watt tweeters.

Sound is transformed into a multi-sensory experience by the Van der Waals speaker. The gadget adds a visual component to listening to music by using ferrofluid, a magnetic fluid NASA created for rocket ships to regulate fuel in zero gravity. The inky ferrofluid is stirred up while the music plays, producing a captivating sonic display. With an integrated LED backdrop and a sleek, clear globe made of anodized aluminum, it connects to your phone wirelessly for simplicity.
