Paint That Changes Color With Electric Current

Colour changing paint you control with your smartphone is the future of diy.

Paint that changes color with electric current. But how does the paint react to weather or remote control. The effect is paint color change at the press of a button and the secret is a special polymer containing paramagnetic iron oxide particles which is applied to the whips exterior. This car paint changes color using a new technology that allows the driver to change the color by adjusting voltage sent throughout the body. Video clip of our jeep with new paramagnetic paint.

Finally the top layer is a clear coat which provides insulation. The paint changes huesaturation with a high voltage low amperage sinusoidal wave electric current applied. Cars that change color due to electrical current a process known as chromism are doing so based on the change of electrons in the paint due to exposure to different levels of electrical current. The lower layers are able to absorb an electric current to make the paint shine.

Its a polymer based substance containing tiny. An applied electric current then adjusts the spacing of small crystals within the iron oxide particles and therefore affects their ability to reflect light and change color. Each nano cell contains a metal core so when an electric current passes through the cell shrinks and pulls its shell inward. Before the vehicle is painted a special polymer containing the special paramagnetic iron oxide particles is applied to the cars body.

An applied electric current then adjusts the spacing of small crystals within the iron oxide particles and therefore affects their ability to reflect light and change color. To achieve the unbelievable effect the team discovered that it had to layer the paint in just the right manner. Some of the elements in the paint are temporarily rearranged and the electrical stimulation of the electrons cause them to change shade or hue. Its the next step from nissans self healing paint a paramagnetic paint system that can change color from a default of white to a range of shades.

Controllable nano cells in the paint can be inflated or deflated in order to deflect light at different wavelengths producing an array of wonderful colors to see. Before the vehicle is painted a special polymer containing the special paramagnetic iron oxide particles is applied to the cars body. Each cell contains a metal core which will shrink the size of the cell pulling its shell inward when an electric current is passed through it or in reaction to temperature.
