Apparently only 24 have been made at a price tag of $8,352.30 (7,500 euros).
However, I doubt that making one yourself will cost that much.
Make your own ferrofluid (google it), buy some magnets or metal bars, attach them to a few little servos, print yourself a box or buy one if you don't have a 3D printer at hand , setup an arduino as a clock that maneuvers the servos, and there you go.
With the arduino or any microcontroller, pi etc. and the servos being the most expensive, depending on where you source your parts, it'll probably cost less than 50 bucks.
If the ferrofluid falls off the clock face too easily, use a metal sheet as a front panel With all the parts lying around, i could probably build one for less

it will be extremely difficult to build. you'd need to wind a **** load of coils and then create a logic circuit to energize specific coils at 1 minute intervals, you'll need to create a cal vector to differentiate time against your oscillator which means you'll need a microcomputer to interpret the cal vector and output the current from your powersupply and change select relays at 1 minute intervals.|
but go ahead...build a cheap one id like to see u try

laziness (09/29/2015) [-] I work at this place (basically an RC car chop shop, we take apart RC cars and sell the stock parts at reduced prices) at we have a **** ton of various servos at all kinds of prices, and all are PWM controlled, so would work with an controller without any hassle =)

ferrofluid stain almost everything it touch,so you need to put it in a suspension liquid,like in the video.It won't work with water or anything like that.
The suspension fluid is made with at least 14 different unknow liquids melanged in different proportions,so making your own an be kind of difficult

whothefkisanon (09/29/2015) [-] There's more ways to make ferrofluid than toner ink. Tbh I haven't tried making ferrofluid yet, but I've seen a few variations that didn't stain anything.
The easiest way around this problem would be to treat the clock with something that doesn't stain.
>>#20, I haven't fixed my 3D printer yet, but trying it if I find the time I am also working on a project to make a prosthetic hand and arm (or 3rd arm in my case) that, if everything goes right, you can control with your brain, completely based on open hardware and software

devilofscience (09/29/2015) [-] A clock like that should never run on military time, you'll never be able to tell if it 's 11:00 or 17:00.

narluga (09/29/2015) [-] how does this **** work? My guess is magnets, with like liquid metal that isn't hot.

anonymoussarcasm (09/29/2015) [-] That clock has to cost something ridiculous maybe if I take it apart and bring it to class they'll think it's a chemical weapon and I can meet the president so it'd be worth it
