MEH Synergy Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Sounds like lava lamp it is. Thanks guys. Those salt crystal lamps are cool too, but don't they tend to leak a little when it is humid if I remember right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Crystal spectacles while watching a lamp, any lamp can be quite interesting. Walking or driving with them on, especially while operating heavy equipment is not recommended. Enjoy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those salt crystal lamps are cool too, but don't they tend to leak a little when it is humid if I remember right? A couple of fun facts about salt lamps, they are said to be mined in caves in the foothills of the Himalayas and are 250 million years old. As they are made of salt, they do pull moisture from the air, which evaporates when the lamp is on and warm. When off, you may find a bit of water pooling around the base. The remedy for that is to just place them on a glass dish of some kind. This one has been sitting in my bedroom for the last 10 years or so. Also, if you don't like them, you can crush them up, toss them in a bath for a soak, or put them on your food. Try that with a lava lamp.😀 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just plugs into the wall socket and has a small bulb in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My glass part is sealed up with a bottle top like a beer bottle. I always get an urge to grab an opener when I take the plastic cover off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long is forever? My sister is 12 years older than me so I'm quite sure she had one of the originals from the 60s or very early 70s. I got one as present in the early 90s. They both take about 45 minutes to really get going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Yes they need a speedy lava lamp, like the real thing. Dang waiting on a lamp for...ever. Will resist popping the top. Probably just distilled vodka and crazy dough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will resist popping the top. Probably just distilled vodka and crazy dough... Pretty sure it was wax inside so I checked. More than you would ever want to know here https://topex.ucsd.edu/es10/lectures/lecture14/lecture14.html Quote The vertical flow of wax blobs in a lava lamp illustrates the three main modes of heat transport, radiation, convection, and conduction. These also important heat transfer mechanisms in the Earth so it us useful to understand the physics of the Lava Lamp. Examine the diagram and try to answer the 7 questions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
