Ferrofluid Hero

Halvard Audio

Sound you can almost see.

Hand-built loudspeakers with magnets strong enough to shape liquid. Every pair is voiced in a quiet room in Aarhus and signed by the engineer who tuned it.

About this block

Ferrofluid HeroPRO

A loudspeaker maker's hero beside the ferrofluid component: a glossy black pool of magnetic fluid in a shallow dish, seen from a low studio camera, always holds a crown of sharp needle spikes that grows and leans toward the cursor (or an invisible magnet hovering over the pool when idle) and settles back into a smooth dome, lit by key, strip and rim lights. An eyebrow, a heavy headline, an intro and two Arrow Pill buttons sit on the left. Every fluid setting passes through the fluid prop; the surface follows the theme.

Hero228: Ferrofluid Hero

A split hero with an eyebrow, a heavy headline, an intro and 2 Arrow Pill buttons on the left, and the ferrofluid component on the right: a glossy pool of magnetic fluid in a shallow dish that grows a crown of needle spikes leaning toward the cursor, rendered live in WebGL.

This installs the block to components/beste/block/hero228.tsx plus the ferrofluid component and the button23 button it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports hero228Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working hero in one line.

tsx
import { Hero228, hero228Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/hero228";

export default function Page() {
  return <Hero228 {...hero228Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

tsx
import { Hero228 } from "@/components/beste/block/hero228";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Hero228
      eyebrow="Halvard Audio"
      heading="Sound you can almost see."
      description="Hand-built loudspeakers with magnets strong enough to shape liquid."
      buttons={[
        { label: "Book a listening", href: "/listen" },
        { label: "Explore the range", href: "/range" },
      ]}
      fluid={{
        fluidColor: "#08080a",
        surfaceColor: "var(--background)",
        spikeHeight: 0.6,
        idleMagnet: true,
      }}
    />
  );
}

Behavior notes

  • From lg the section splits 5 and 7 columns at max(640px, 100svh - 78px) tall, and the copy column's left padding lines up with a centered max-w-7xl container.
  • On smaller screens the copy stacks above the dish, which takes a 4:3 frame, then 16:10 from sm.
  • With idleMagnet on, an invisible magnet hovers over the pool when the cursor is away, so the spikes keep moving.
  • Ferrofluid pauses through an IntersectionObserver and on hidden tabs and respects prefers-reduced-motion; if the WebGL program fails, it draws a CSS radial-gradient dish instead.
  • With reduced motion the copy and dish appear without their rise and fade.
  • surfaceColor: "var(--background)" in the demo blends the dish surround into the page in both themes.
