Does anyone know how fluid lens work?
If I want to make one that I can experiment with (so it is not the tiny ones that they sell) what do I need and do?
Thanks!

Fluid lens works just like any other lens where the light is being bent by refraction. Refraction is caused by the light going from one medium to another. Liquid lens however offers a variable optical properties and that makes it indeed very attractive for some applications.
You can't create larger fluid lenses since the lens is shaped by the surface tension of that liquid. The size of the lens is dictated by the liquids surface tension.
Liquid mirror is really something else
Please see reference s below.
