Sealing the box

One of our main concerns for this project was the ferrofluid leaking ( something that had happened in our smaller module).Because the electromagnets heat up, they can easily melt the silicone and other adhesives we use to seal the box. I took on the responsibility of sealing it using multiple suggestions from both Keegan and Carlo. To address this issue, we sealed the electromagnets into their holes with epoxy clay on both the top and bottom. Keegan suggested making drip trays out of aluminium and putting them into the wooden box, underneath the electromagnets and wiring, incase the ferrofluid did leak through the epoxy. We also sealed the acrylic box itself with silicone on the inside and outside.
