I saw this lamp on craigslist, Phoenix.<br />

It looks like a boiler inside of a water-filled globe. I have never seen anything like it, thought I would share it.<br />

<p>Anyone who owns a boiler or bubbler of any kind, excepting the replica Geyser Lamps (though these are a copy of a vintage boiler design). Could you post some footage of yours in action?</p>
<p></p>
<p>As much as I understand what each type of lamp does, I've seen very little footage of them actually running.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>This is a thread for owners and lovers of the unique French liquid motion lamps collectively known as "boilers." Tell about what you've got, how you got it, what it does, near-misses, broken arrivals, etc.</p>
<p>Quick boiler primer, referring to my illustrated list:</p>
<p>Basic boilers either fill with liquid, "boil," drain and start over, or fill with liquid and then "percolate" steadily.</p>
<p>Glitter boilers place a boiler inside an outer globe filled with swirling glitter.</p>
<p>Fountain boilers use the rising vapor bubbles to push the rising liquid through jets.</p>
<p>Bubblers are already completely full of liquid. Bubbles of vapor are generated near the bottom and they rise to the top. Some bubblers have beads or rocks in the bottom to break up the bubbles.</p>
<p>Lava bubblers function like bubblers, except that they also contain a thick, usually brightly-colored oil, which rests at the bottom. It coats the rising bubbles, then the oil droplets float back down. Some have indents to bounce the bubbles around. Others have glass beads in the oil, producing more, smaller bubbles and sprays of oil.</p>
<p>The only boiler I own is pictured. It stands nearly two feet tall. I purchased it for $150 from a Tacoma, WA antique shop. They bought the contents of a shop in London which had imported and sold scientific and laboratory glassware. This boiler had been on the owner's desk. I'm pretty sure the companies which made boilers also made lab glassware, as they use the same techniques. It's the only one I've heard of or seen which reached the US by means other than being ordered off eBay by a lava collector. It takes about twenty minutes to fill, after which vapor rushes up the coil, "boils" violently in the globe, empties most of the way, and the process repeats!</p> Do Boiler Lamps belong here?tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2010-10-04:1566398:Topic:1618782010-10-04T15:17:59.760ZChris Leahttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/Carbootyman

<p>If you have boilers, or have photos of them, I'd like to see them! I am, as usual, updating my illustrated list, and I'd love to bring in as many photos as I can get, in case some show models I haven't listed. Thanks in advance!</p>

On my photos page: updated list with 14 since-discovered designs (one older one removed, reason noted) as well as two more hand-powered boilers and two French liquid hourglasses! These are drawn in Windows Paint, by a technique that almost fits the description "pixel art", i.e. many (but not all) parts are drawn pixel-by-pixel while zoomed in - a lot of fun to do, really.

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Looking to sell my boiler lamp, fountain type, made in France around +/- 1970. Very nice condition, cord, switch, plug, all original. It even still has the original light bulb. Strong sprinkler function. Shipping from Belgium. Let me know if you have any interest. Thanks !</p>

<p>Greetings!</p>

<p>I am interested to know if there are any Boiler Lamps available from anyone?</p>

<p>I saw a few on <a href="http://www.trippyglitters.com/">http://www.trippyglitters.com/</a> and they conjured visions of watching old Noma Christmas Tree Bubble Lights in my childhood. I understand the Goo family is well versed in these lamps.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>In particular, the "Pink Loopy Boiler" design appeals to me greatly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone have any leads on these?</p>

<p>Thanks very much!</p>
