How It Works

From Sound Wave to Dancing Fluid

Four seamless steps — from hitting play to watching real ferrofluid move in perfect sync with your music.

1
Step 1

Play Your Music

Connect Glowbe via Bluetooth 5.3 from any device — phone, tablet, laptop. No apps required, no complex setup. Hit play on any song and within seconds Glowbe is ready to transform what you hear into something you can see.

2
Step 2

Built-in Mic Picks Up Sound

The internal omnidirectional microphone captures every frequency in real time. Bass, midrange harmonics, and high-frequency detail are all detected and separated by Glowbe's onboard audio processing — building a complete picture of the sonic landscape instantly.

3
Step 3

Electromagnet Responds

An internal electromagnet modulates its field strength in precise synchronisation with detected audio frequencies. Different frequencies produce different pulse intensities — bass triggers the strongest pulses, while high frequencies generate subtle, rapid modulations that create fine surface patterns in the fluid.

4
Step 4

Fluid Comes Alive

The ferrofluid spikes, ripples, and dances — creating a real-time magnetic fluid visualizer unlike anything you've ever seen. Every song, every beat produces a completely unrepeatable visual. Music is not only heard — it's watched, felt, and lived.

The Material

What Is Ferrofluid?

A magnetic liquid born from physics — and the science that makes Glowbe's visual display possible.

Ferrofluid is a magnetic liquid composed of microscopic iron oxide particles — each around 10 nanometres in size — suspended in a carrier fluid. Under normal conditions, it flows and pours like any liquid.

When exposed to a magnetic field, the behaviour changes entirely: the particles align with the field lines and the fluid deforms, forming precise geometric spikes, ridges, and wave patterns.

"This phenomenon — known as the Rosensweig instability — is entirely governed by the laws of magnetism and surface tension. No programming or digital animation can replicate it. What you see is pure physics."

In audio technology, ferrofluid bridges the gap between science and art by transforming invisible sound waves into visible, tactile motion. Inside Glowbe, each pulse of the electromagnet is a direct translation of the music — the ferrofluid's response is the music made physical.

Live Physics Diagram
Normal State — No Magnetic Field
Magnetic Field Applied
Rosensweig Instability — Spikes Form
10 Nanometre Particles

Each iron oxide particle suspended in the fluid is around 10nm in size — so small they remain in stable suspension and never settle.

Rosensweig Instability

The spike formations you see are called Rosensweig instability — a natural physical phenomenon where magnetic forces overcome surface tension.

Pure Physics — Not Digital

Every spike, ripple and wave is real and unrepeatable. No LED, no animation, no software loop can replicate what real ferrofluid does in motion.

Audio Engineering

How Ferrofluid Works in Speakers

From invisible thermal conductor to the visual star of the show — the science that makes Glowbe possible.

In traditional speaker design, ferrofluid plays a hidden but vital role: it fills the gap around voice coils to conduct heat away from the motor, reduce mechanical distortion, and improve long-term acoustic performance. Millions of speakers worldwide — from studio monitors to high-end headphones — rely on ferrofluid internally, invisibly.

In Glowbe, the technology steps out of the shadow and takes centre stage. Audio signals are processed in real time by the onboard DSP and converted into precise electromagnetic pulses. These pulses interact with the ferrofluid in the sealed glass chamber, causing it to rise, fall, and shift according to the rhythm, frequency, and intensity of what's playing.

"Bass frequencies produce bold, powerful movements — tall spikes that react to the kick drum or bass line. Higher frequencies create sharper, more intricate surface formations that respond to the texture of vocals, strings, and cymbals."

The result is a fully synchronised audio-visual experience where sound is not only heard, but seen in motion — every listening session unique and unrepeatable.

Used in 100M+ Devices

Ferrofluid is already inside hundreds of millions of speakers and headphones globally — cooling voice coils silently in the background.

Real-Time DSP Processing

Glowbe's onboard DSP converts every audio signal into electromagnetic pulses in under a millisecond — the fluid's response is instantaneous.

Every Movement is Unique

No LED, no animation, no software loop can replicate what real ferrofluid does. Every spike, ripple, and wave is live physics — never the same twice.

Origins

The History of Ferrofluid

From a NASA zero-gravity engineering problem to the visual heart of Glowbe — sixty years of science in four steps.

1963

NASA Invents Ferrofluid

NASA scientist Stephen Papell develops ferrofluid during the space race, aiming to control liquid rocket fuel in zero-gravity environments using magnetic fields. The material allows fuel to be guided through pipes and valves without relying on gravity — a critical engineering problem for orbital missions.

1960s–70s

Broader Scientific Research

While not ultimately used for rocket propulsion, ferrofluid's unique properties — the Rosensweig instability, its magnetic responsiveness, and its colloidal stability — opened the door to scientific study across physics, chemistry, and materials engineering. Labs worldwide begin investigating commercial applications.

1970s

Enters Speaker Engineering

Audio engineers discover that ferrofluid, when placed in the voice coil gap of a speaker driver, dramatically improves thermal performance and reduces mechanical distortion. It becomes standard in high-fidelity speakers, studio monitors, and eventually consumer headphones — present in hundreds of millions of devices worldwide.

Today

Glowbe by XELLO

Sixty years after its invention, ferrofluid has found its most expressive application yet — as a living, responsive audio display inside Glowbe by XELLO. What began as a zero-gravity engineering solution is now a multi-sensory musical experience that turns every listening session into something you can see.

Born from the Space Race

Ferrofluid was invented in 1963 by NASA to solve the problem of controlling rocket fuel in zero gravity — one of the most demanding engineering environments ever created.

60+ Years of Development

Over six decades, ferrofluid evolved from a theoretical material into an industrial standard — cooling voice coils in speakers and headphones used by hundreds of millions of people.

Its Most Visible Role Yet

Glowbe is the first product to bring ferrofluid out of the hidden interior of a speaker and make it the centrepiece — turning a behind-the-scenes material into a living visual display.

Distinctiveness

Why Ferrofluid Music Visualizers Are Unique

The physics of magnetism and surface tension — not software, not LEDs — determine every movement.

Unlike LED-based visualizers or digital animations, ferrofluid responds physically to sound. Every movement is real, unrepeatable, and entirely driven by the music playing at that precise moment. No two tracks ever produce the same visual pattern — not even the same track played twice.

LED rings and digital screens simulate a visualizer. They approximate it with programmed reactions, looping patterns, or colour changes based on volume thresholds. Ferrofluid doesn't simulate anything — it reacts. The physics of magnetism and surface tension determine the shape of every spike, every wave, every ripple in real time.

This physical, unrepeatable reaction transforms ferrofluid speakers into a different category entirely: not just audio devices, but living kinetic art that performs differently with every song, every artist, every genre. It appeals to audiophiles who want to engage with music on a deeper level, to creators who want a visually compelling setup, and to anyone who has grown tired of speakers that simply sit there and make sound.

Care & Maintenance

Keep Your Glowbe
Performing at Its Best

Ferrofluid is a precision material. A few simple habits ensure your Glowbe stays clear, reactive, and visually stunning for years.

✓ Do This

Keep It Upright

Always store and use Glowbe in an upright, vertical position. The ferrofluid is calibrated to behave correctly when gravity pulls it downward — tilting or inverting the speaker can displace the fluid and affect display quality.

✓ Do This

Clean the Glass Gently

Use a soft, dry microfibre cloth to wipe the glass dome. Occasional cleaning removes fingerprints and dust that can diffuse the fluid's visual clarity. Avoid pressure on the dome itself — the glass is durable but should be treated with care.

✓ Do This

Charge Before Storing

If you're not using Glowbe for an extended period, charge it fully before storing. Lithium batteries maintain their health better when stored at a higher charge level. A full charge cycle every few months during storage is ideal.

✗ Avoid This

Avoid Extreme Heat

Do not place Glowbe in direct sunlight for extended periods, near heating vents, or in environments above 40°C. High heat can affect the carrier fluid inside the glass chamber and reduce the ferrofluid's reactivity over time.

✗ Avoid This

Don't Place Near Strong Magnets

External magnets — particularly neodymium or rare-earth magnets — can permanently displace the ferrofluid in ways that affect its patterns and symmetry. Keep Glowbe at least 20–30cm away from strong magnetic sources.

💡 Pro Tip

Bass-Heavy Music Gives the Best Display

While Glowbe reacts to all frequencies, songs with strong bass lines — electronic music, hip-hop, cinematic soundtracks — produce the most dramatic ferrofluid movements. Try deep house, lo-fi beats, or film scores for an incredible visual effect.
