Build Your Own Lava Lamp
Manip writes "My new project: 'The difficult part about making your own liquid motion lamp is, of course, the motion. We won't go into the lamp base too much. The store-bought ones use a 40w appliance bulb in a metal housing which directs the heat to the underside of the glass container. If you're making your own base, we recommend installing a dimmer switch so that you can control your heat output.'"

How many /.'ers actually own a lava lamp?
Good.
Now, how many of those who raised their hand are involved in a relationship with someone.
Ahhh. You in the back. Anyone else? Good.
Thanks.

I've been looking for a replacement bulb for my old one for about a month. I think this would take less time. Cool...

A good thing to do even with the store bought ones. I use an X10 lamp dimmer on mine, but have also used a wall mount lamp dimmer to replace a wall switch for a friend. After these things get hot they generally get very active and it results in too many too small blobs of lava to be enjoyable. With a dimmer you can adjust the flow to suit your preferences even when the lamp warns up.

The real question is whether or not you can make it edible. Extra points if it tastes good while heated!
I regularly report MSN spam to the Hotmail admins.
Look through your mom's trash, she uses them as anal plugs and then tosses 'em.
I'm talking about niggers, not lava lamps. You can probably get used lava lamps at the Salvation Army or something.

Actually, lava lamps are cool from a scientific point of view too : they are considered a very good source of randomness for RNGs.

Top Ten Differences Between Democrats and Republicans (from the perspective of a Democrat):
10. Democrats take your money and give it to social programs. Republicans take your money and give it to their friends.
9. Democrats lie about sex. Republicans sex up their lies.
8. Democrats think international cooperation means working with the United Nations. Republicans think international cooperation means working with Exxon/Mobil.
7. Democrats try to save the planet. Republicans try to pave the planet.
6. Democrats are elected. Republicans are selected.
5. Democrats make treaties. Republicans break them.
4. Democrats support a social welfare system. Republicans support a corporate welfare system.
3. Democrats defend the rights of white supremacists. Republicans are the white supremacists.
2. Democrats govern. Republicans rule.
1. Democrats call people who don't believe in the separation of church and state a threat to civil liberties. Republicans call them judicial appointees.

I've been working on a perpetual motion machine. But it seems like its taking forever and a day.
Participants of the famous Slashdot internet discussion forum gather tonight to give praise to the Internet's newest and most beloved phenomenon: the "I have a greased up Yoda shoved up my ass" crap flood. This innovative and socially remarkable crap flood was introduced on August 28th, 2003 amidst a flurry of anticipation and speculation.
"I love Yoda, and I love crap flooding. I have been inserting plastic replicas of popular movie icons into my anus for years, and it's good to finally see a community of my peers expressing their joy in such a glorious activity" said 0xdeadbeef, a long time member of the Slashdot forums.
This new wave of Internet expression follows closely on the heels of another magnificent community known as the "GNAA", the Gay Nigger Association of America. Their spokesman Max(TK) had this to say: "I embrace the recent coming of age of the Yoda crowd, and wish them much success in the future". While many may disagree with the message of the Yoda community, no one can deny their boy-like charm.
Slashdot.org founded Rob "Commander Taco" Malda seemed to show displeasure with the new uprising. "They [the Greased Up Yoda community] have taken my own unique and personal hobby and made the world to think it their own. The Yoda community is nothing more than political wingnuts hoping to take credit for my past accomplishments, and ride the wave of popularity into office."
is the point.

The patented formula uses carbon tetrachloride... VERY toxic and carcinogenic stuff. It used to be used as a cleaning agent until the FDA banned it in the 70's, IIRC.
Nothing to see here; Move along.
Not sure why there is a warning about making the Lava Lamps for profit because of patents. At least in the US, both patents listed in the disclaimer are expired. 25 years is the maximum protection.
Years back, I worked the night shift at a computer company, working the phones. To set the proper mood at my desk, I brought in my Lava Lamp. Within a few days, one of the stupid cowardly day shift people couldn't resist and open up the bottle, spilling about a half an inch. In their panic to close it, they pinched the gasket in the thread and punctured it. They person never fessed up. It hasn't worked the same and I'll never forgive thewm. If you're the one that did this, you owe me fifty bucks. Pay up.
Damn...all the interesting stories appear on slashdot always show up after a huge bong hoot and a guy needs a HUGE one after that depressing outsourcing story.

Subject: Lava Lamp Plans Here.

I've had SEVERAL requests for the plans, so here they are.
Sorry, I guess I lost the name of the guy who gave 'em to me.

Inside a lava lamp are two immiscible fluids. If it is assumed that fluid 1 is water, then fluid 2 must be:
Furthermore, fluid 2 must not be:
In addition, fluid 2 must have a greater coefficient of expansion than water. Check a Perry's handbook of Chemical Engineering, and the above list eliminates quite a few possibilities.
Here is a list of possible chemicals to use:
If desired, use a suitable red oil-soluble dye to color fluid 2. A permanent felt-tip pen is a possible source. Break open the pen and put the felt in a beaker with fluid 2.
It is recommended to use benzyl alcohol as fluid 2. (Caution!! Do not come into contact with benzyl alcohol either by ingestion, skin, or inhalation.) In addition to water, the following items will be necessary:
The performance of the lava lamp will depend on the quality of the water used. A few experiments must be conducted to determine how much sodium chloride is necessary to increase the water's specific gravity. Try a 5% salt concentration first (50 g of salt to 1 liter of water). Pour the red-dyed benzyl alcohol mixture in a Pyrex beaker. Add an equal or greater amount of water
Here's the groups.google.com link to the previous message:
Now I can build something that:
o has no documentation about it's foundation
o is a potential fire hazzard
and pay more than what a well engineered alternative would cost.
Sounds like M$ to me.

Welcome our Lava Lamp overloads.
FWIW, the reason that you want a dimmer switch is that:
If the light is to hot -> the viscous fluid that you observe tends to turn into tons of small bubbles that go all over the place in not that cool of a way.
If the light is too cold -> nothing will really happen.
If the light is just right -> you'll get the sexy phallic undulating viscous membrane that women tend to prefer. Slight variations on this can be controlled with the switch.
Just an FYI....
Hunger is the best sauce.
Lava lamps are a particular good example of the behavior of atmospheric and fluid dynamics.
The Navier-Stokes Equations and Brunt Vaisala frequency come to mind.
Of course this simplifies down to F = MA.
God Bless Newton.
Yes! I listen to NYC Speedcore and do math at 3AM. I suggest you try it too.
Lava lamp builds YOU !
So heating a mixture of 70% and 90% alcohol isn't a good idea?
well... hes almost there, a lil more carcinogenic though I think.

In college, for my chemical engineering plant design class, one group had a project producing dicyclopentadiene (aka DCPD). It's a solid white hydrocarbon that melts at a little over 100F or so (check www.chemfinder.com for exact numbers). Anyway, our professor said it was used in lava lamps.
In addition, the link mentioned that propylene glycol is one of the chemicals that can be used (for the part that isn't lava), and said it was expensive. Not true. Ethylene glycol (EG) and propylene glycol (PG) are both used in antifreeze. EG will kill animals if ingested (causes kidney failure unless you saturate your system with ethanol, i.e., booze). PG is a nontoxic alternative. It's not always as easy to find, and it might be colored green, but it's cheap.
Good luck out there, and don't start any fires you can't extinguish.

With compact flourescent bulbs, there is now absolutely no excuse to emit all that completely pointless waste heat to illuminate your lava lamp! The lamp will be cheaper to run, and the bulb will last longer too!

I've been wondering about this for years since I had one of those lava lamps as a kid. I vaguely remember reading in the instructions NOT to turn the lava lamp bottle upside down--and of course, I saw that AFTER I had already done so. Somewhere along the line, the lava lamp stopped working, even with the light bulb turned on. Maybe I'm remembering wrong about what it was that I was not supposed to do (but did anyway). Maybe that wasn't even why the thing stopped working. I was just a kid, so it was a long time ago. Has anybody heard of anything like this?

Breaking News:
All over the world, intelligence agencies are reporting localized explosions which the CIA believe to be part of a terrorist plot.
The source has been traced to the undergound web site 'The Slashdot' in which people were encoraged to build an incendery device with the following instructions:
1. For the Blobby bit, use a wax based solution
2. For the fluid, use something of lesser density (Petroleum would be a good start)
3. Place in sealed glass container
4. Heat over Bunsen Burner

They invented the lava lamp back in 1963, and are still going despite having to spend a fortune stopping far east manufacturers ripping off their designs. Quite a cute site so worth a plug.
...is replace the light bulb with a non-luminous heating element, and then just have some UV LED's in the base to "charge" the phosporescent goo periodically.

I built a Better-Than-Lava-Lamp a few years back - it more erupted than flowed and was quite cool to watch - but it was short lived. You see, what made it beautiful made it dangerous and it blew up real good! Check out Erupting Lava Lamp for a short video in Real format.

I once made a pocket version using turpentine and colored water. I used one of the small square bottles of turpentine that comes with Testors model paints. It was half full, so all I had to do was add enough colored water to fill it up. I used to carry it in my pocket everywhere I went, pulling it out during a dull moment (usually junior high math class) and tipping it back and forth.
Maxim had published faulty instructions on how to build your own lava lamp a few years back. Not only did it not work, it made a goddamn mess like you wouldn't believe... I hope your plans are better.
Way back when I was doing my O-levels {shows age ..... O-levels were what we had before GCSE's} my school physics department had a cadmium-vapour lamp. This glew with a particularly wonderful electric-blue colour.
..... even though it used some sort of high voltage power supply and toxic cadmium, that colour really made it worth all the dangers. {I think, from my spectroscopy experiment I did, that there is one red, one green, one blue and one violet line, but there may well be some invisible ones}.
I have never been able to find one. I wouldn't mind one though

Do NOT use steel wool in your plasma globe project. STEEL WOOL IS HIGHLY FLAMMAMBLE. You can start it burning with a 9v battery.
DO use copper Chore-Boy potscrubber. That is what everyone uses, and the idea originally came from a guy named Ray, who wandered around a grocery store looking for something to replace the bare-HV-wire-wrapped-on-a-grommet that would arc thru the glass after a few months.
I worked at the first plasma globe mfr, as did Ray. If you see a plasma globe or tube in a museum, it might be one of ours.
