Lava Lamps

buy a new onee :) :) that happened to my one :( xx.

Anywhere from $10-100 depending on size and how nice it is.

it is the flow of electrons moving throw the liquid

A lava lamp is shaped like a cone to allow the wax to rise and fall within the lamp in a visually appealing way. The cone shape helps create a more dynamic and mesmerizing lava flow effect as the wax warms up and cools down.

it depends on which lava lamp u get

No you do not.

5000

No impact. Just fun to watch.

ok there's this place called dollars and pounds in adayar. they arent the prettiest lava lamps but they sure are lava lamps.

Maybe you can try from OVL (Nanjing) Electronics www.cn-ovl.com

In 1963, a lava lamp typically cost around $20 to $25, which was considered quite expensive at the time. The lava lamp was a popular novelty item that gained popularity in the 1960s, known for its unique design and mesmerizing lava-like movement. The cost varied depending on the size and brand of the lamp, but the average price range was around $20-$25.

The dark black incandescent type UV bulbs will work as they actually get hotter than the equivalent standard incandescent bulb of the same wattage, but the compact fluorescent type UV bulbs run too cool.

Over 5,000 years ago lamps were invented. The Egyptians had oil lamps.

Lava is formed when molten rock from beneath the Earth's surface erupts through a volcano. This process occurs during volcanic eruptions, where magma rises to the surface, often due to pressure build-up in the Earth's mantle. Once exposed to the atmosphere, magma becomes lava as it cools and solidifies. So, while lava itself isn't "made" in a traditional sense, it is the result of geological processes involving magma.

A classic lamp contains a standard incandescent bulb or halogen lamp which heats a tall (often tapered) glass bottle. A formula from 1968 U.S. patent consisted of water and a transparent, translucent or opaque mix of mineral oil, paraffin wax and carbon tetrachloride. The clear water and/or mineral oil can optionally be colored with transparent dyes.

Remove the lava lamp by lifting up the glass. It separates from the base because it just sits in it. Unscrew the old bulb and screw another one in.

When you remove the bulb you will notice that the bulb and base may not be the size of a standard household bulb. On the inside of the base, or the bottom of the base, there should be information about the type and wattage of the bulb.

You need to get the same type of bulb to insure that the bulb base will screw into the socket. The wrong type bulb may not fit in the socket or the bulb may be too large and the top of the lamp will not fit properly on the base. If you get the wrong wattage, the bulb may not be hot enough or to hit to make the bulb function properly.

if i dont close the bottle cap o the lava lamp it would produce more blobs than if i close it.

The heat source of the lava lamp represents the Earth's core, which is made up of a solid inner core and a liquid outer core composed of hot, molten metal. Just as the heat source in the lava lamp causes the wax to rise and fall in a continuous motion, the heat from Earth's core generates movement in the mantle, leading to processes like plate tectonics and volcanic activity.

The movement of the lava in a lava lamp is caused by heat from the light bulb at the base of the lamp, which warms the wax, making it less dense and causing it to rise. As the wax rises, it cools and becomes denser, causing it to sink back down. This cycle of heating and cooling creates the mesmerizing flow of the lava lamp.

The statement of the problem in making a homemade lava lamp centers on the challenge of creating a visually appealing and functional display that mimics the effects of a commercial lava lamp. Key issues include achieving the right balance of density and viscosity in the liquids to ensure that the colored water rises and falls effectively, as well as finding a safe and suitable heat source to create movement without compromising safety. Additionally, ensuring the materials used are accessible and non-toxic is important for a successful homemade project.

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.

It would take quicker to heat up and work than if you used a wax with a high melting point.

I made one of these a few years years ago for my sixth grade science class. It is pretty easy. Here is what you need.

Ingredients

1.Small water bottle (empty)

2.Olive oil

3.Food coloring

4.water

First you mix the water and food coloring together (until you get desired color)

Then u put the oil in the empty water bottle, add the food coloring and water to the conquotion the tighten the cap and shake.

The reason the oil doesn't mix with the water is because the density of the liquids is far to different to combine and or to mix.

You should try it, it's cool fun and interesting.

It is in the furniture catalog, but they rarely sell it. The last time they sold it so far was in July 2008
