Lava Lamps
    #14188312 - 03/26/11 06:48 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

They're so awesome.  :blazed:



The lamp contains a standard incandescent bulb or halogen lamp which heats a tall (often tapered) glass bottle containing water (often with glycerol derived additive) and a transparent, translucent or opaque mix of wax and carbon tetrachloride. The wax is slightly more dense than water at room temperature but is less dense under warmer conditions. This occurs because wax expands more than water when both are heated.When heated, the wax becomes fluid, its relative density decreases, and blobs of wax ascend to the top of the device where they cool (which increases their density relative to that of the water's) and then descend. A metallic wire coil in the base of the bottle acts as a surface tension breaker to recombine the cooled blobs of wax after they descend. The underlying mechanism is a form of Rayleigh–Taylor instability.

Check this out too! Random Number Experiment with lava lamps!
I love pseudo-science!  :psychsplit:

I fuxing love Lava lamps ( good ones )

They are so peaceful, and make a room really stand out!

Lava Lamps and Black lights. :raveface:

I couldn't get one when I was a teenager because my dad asumed it meant I was doing drugs. Could't have candles in the house either because he thinks that's drug related too. :shrug:

D00d, good explanation. you know your fluid dynamics.  I didn't think anyone else here knew what Rayleigh-Taylor instability was.  Rayleigh-Benard convection is also bad ass.  I just did a numerical model of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability.  And, I love lava lamps, burning incense is also fascinating to watch.

I love anything that involves fire and scents- lava lamps, incense, candles! :dizope::hippie:

Thanks, man! Not my exact words, I wouldn't have said it quite as well, but I do love learning the physics of everything. It's really trippy.

I love how fractal nature is and that the same patterns can be found on all levels of reality.

Rayleigh and Hemholz must have been the Big N of physics.  A lot of theorems and postulates by them show up in advanced electrical engineering texts.

Physics is the best.
It's so fucking awesome.
It's the nature of reality and existence.
Of thought.
Of Mind.
Of life.
Of GOD!

Yea, I loved Modern Physics.  Especially experiments.  I may be going back in Sept.  To finish my Phd (In EE).... then I will know how a Lava Lamp works.
