Simplex Wave Machine

I have an old Simplex Wave Machine that developed a crack in the acylic and lost its' content. I really like the relaxing appearance of the wave. I need some insight as to the nature of the two liquids contained in the wave machine. I would guess the contents are less complex and fussy that the Lava lamp. I would appreciate any comments regarding the liquids.

My intent is to manufacture a new generation Wave Machine, with some new twists, such as LED illumination. This would be a… Continue

A new Lava-lover

My son, Brandon, is now here! Born 1/12/09, 7 pounds 4 ounces and 20.5 inches long. He and momma are doing very well. This is such a blessing, one that we have prayed about for 23 years. (our 23rd anniversary just past) God has been faithful to us and has entrusted us with this little life! WOW, what a RUSH!!…

Odes to Lava

Yes it's poetry, but it's also lava in the limelight.

--------------------

Dripping, hanging shape

Floating suspended in glass

dance ever slowly.

-------------------- Lava glistening

as like a rose,

or perhaps a vast blue ocean.

And yet other times

you are yellow,

you dream of summer days to come.

Lava flowing

round about me,

hypnotizing graceful motion.

Your oozing bouncing

captivates me,

I… Continue

Bubbles

I'm worried about the health of my most beloved lava lamp. It's developing bubbles in the wax. It only started a couple of months ago but it now seems to be getting worse. I think its sick.

Glitter lamps.

Has anyone ever made a glitter lamp? I think I might branch out and try it, but I'm not sure of any particular ingredients I should use.

Need new coil.

My 52oz. was acting really strange so I started messing with the water solution only to find out the coil had broken into 3 pieces! I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the coil but my goo was bleeding into the water. Very strange-can't imagine why that would all the sudden happen! Does anyone have a suggestion on what coil would work best and where to find them? I'm guessing a hardware store. Also, I added an extra small coil to my other 52 oz. that was running slow and it seemed to… Continue
