Lava lamps just rock, no question about it. I don't use mine anymore, but in the seventh grade I would just keep it on the treasure chest in my bedroom and light it up at night before I went to sleep. I guess there's no real use for it but it's extremely aesthetically pleasing, if anything.
It depends on the size of the lava lamp
No, you cannot burn the lava in a lava lamp. The "lava" is actually a wax mixture that expands and contracts in response to heat from the bulb, creating the flowing motion. However, if the lamp is overheated or left on for too long, it can damage the lamp and potentially cause a fire hazard, so it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe use.
That one type of salt that people use with lava lamps
My Lava Lamp said to use an A 15 aplliance bulb. I went to Walmart and they didn't have them so I thought the A 19 replaced it. Worng. The A 19 does not fit. My lava lamp had a sticker iside of it saying what type of bulb to use, but, of course, I bought the wrong one. The A 19 is too tall, the bottle didn;t fit.
the bulb is usually 30 or 40 watts

So it can live
No, you should not use corn oil for a homemade lava lamp. Corn oil is not ideal for creating the lava lamp effect due to its density and chemical composition. It's better to use mineral oil or vegetable oil for better results.
No, a lava lamp does not emit any form of harmful radiation. The flowing movements and colorful display in a lava lamp are produced by a heating element and the interaction of wax and liquid inside the lamp. It is generally considered safe to use in a household setting.

No, it is not necessary to remove the bottle cap from a lava lamp. The bottle cap is meant to secure the liquid inside the lamp and should remain in place while the lamp is in use.
Leaving a lava lamp on for longer than recommended can cause the liquid inside to overheat, affecting its ability to form the characteristic lava lamp blobs. This can also put stress on the lamp's components and potentially lead to a shorter lifespan or damage to the lamp. It's always best to follow the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure safe and optimal use of the lava lamp.
The best type of oil to use in a lava lamp is mineral oil. It has a high boiling point and is clear, so it won't interfere with the lava lamp's coloring. Make sure to use a high-quality mineral oil to prevent any residue buildup in the lamp.
No, Flumocil is a medication used to treat respiratory conditions by helping to clear mucus from the airways. It is not designed or effective for use in a lava lamp.
It is not recommended to sleep next to a lava lamp because it emits heat that can potentially be a fire hazard if left unattended. Additionally, the light from the lava lamp may disrupt your sleep by affecting your natural sleep-wake cycle. It's safer to place the lava lamp on a stable surface away from the bed while it is in use.
The hypothesis of a homemade lava lamp experiment could be that oil and water do not mix because of their different densities, and that adding an effervescent tablet will create bubbles that carry the colored water through the oil, resembling a lava lamp effect.
Yes you can use alka seltzer to make your own personal lava lamps. It doesn't matter what kind you use as long as it fizzes with the oil and the water.
