How Does Magnetic Putty Work?
Magnetic putty becomes magnetic when iron oxide particles are added to silly putty. The iron oxides magnetize the putty making it a million times more fun and entertaining than regular putty. When magnets are within range of the influence of its magnetic field, the putty will slowly swallow them. Because the magnetic field of the putty is strongest at the center of the blob, the magnets are engulfed. The putty slowly sucks magnets in until they reach the strongest point of the magnetic field.

Watch Magnetic Putty engulf this magnet #vat19 #magneticputty #magnets #putty

Magnetic Thinking Putty is infused with millions of micron-sized (one-millionth of a meter) magnetic particles. These particles are what give Magnetic Thinking Putty its strange attraction properties. While Magnetic Thinking Putty is a more highly evolved…

The description that follows was on the +ScienceSunday post:

"Beware! The Blob

The event shown below actually took over 1. 5 hours, but when viewed in time-lapse this physical reaction looks amazingly like one of our favourite B-movie monsters...

You can see the full, original movie, created by Scott Lawson, here: http://goo.gl/EAs95

Lawson describes the events as follows:

Ferromagnetic particles in the putty are strongly attracted to the magnet and very slowly engulf the surface of the magnet. The magnet shown in the picture is a strong neodymium iron boron magnet. It's a very powerful magnet for its size and could erase magnetic stripes found in credit cards and damage electronics!

The putty looks and feels like regular silly putty, but the difference lies in the fact that it has been infused with millions of micron-sized ferrous particles (most often iron oxide powder). The magnetic putty is not actually magnetic by itself, since the infused particles are made of iron powder.

The presence of the strong neodymium iron boron magnet (the silver cube in the video) magnetizes the ferromagnetic particles in the putty. When this happens, the ferrous particles align with each other and this alignment generates north and south magnetic poles, making the putty into a temporary magnet. Once magnetized, the putty will remain magnetized even after the rare-earth magnet has been removed from the putty. This effect persists for a few hours until thermal agitation shakes the particles and they lose their alignment."
