Tag: Lava Lamp

I’ve tried to watch Doctor Who and it just doesn’t excite me, but there are legions of fans out there who love that show. When it comes to British TV, The IT Crowd is more my speed.

Sure, you can always get yourself an average lava lamp and they’re pretty cool, but what you need is a Star Wars lava lamp that is full of ships. It looks like a spaceship battle is raging inside of a nebula. Because your lamp should have more than just blobs of melted wax inside of it.

Fans of destroying things to see what happens will enjoy this fun video of YouTuber The Backyard Scientist pouring molten aluminum into a giant lava lamp – just to see what happens. Because it’s fun and possibly explosive. I’m not sure how he came up with the idea and decided that he needed to pour molten aluminum into it, but I’m glad he did.

Remember lava lamps? This modern update on the classic lava lamp does away with cords, instead promoting its ooey-gooey goodness using fire. London UK-based Mathmos is getting set to release their new Fireflow lava lamps. The lights eliminate the need for electricity, instead substituting the heat of a simple tea light candle. The Fireflow R1 and Fireflow O1 were designed by the same company that invented the original lava lamp over 45 years ago.

If you happen to have your cell phone ringer turned off, and you don’t care for the “vibrate” setting, you might want to check out these nifty things from London’s Mathmos. These tiny Light Charms clip onto your mobile phone and blink whenever a call is coming in (thanks to those lovely radio frequency emissions.)
