Abstract: The purpose of the present paper is to develop the generator of the capillary magnetic fluid jet. The experiments on magnetic fluid sloshing were conducted at first. Based on the results of experimental study on the fluid motions in a longitudinally vibrated tank with a permanent magnet, a magnetic fluid jet generator was developed. The generator is composed of NdFeB magnets, magnetic fluid, small circular cylindrical tank, and a coil. It is found experimentally that the magnetic fluid droplets and capillary jet are formed by the generator.
