Rocket Lava Lamp
Are you totally into flower power, wild check patterns on wallpaper and flared pants? Then this Rocket lava lamp is just the thing for you! Lava lamps were an absolute hit in the 70s of the last century. After a period of silence, lava lamps are once again a popular decorative item in the wake of the retro wave.
A lava lamp consists of an elongated vessel containing two immiscible liquids in different colors. The liquids also differ in terms of their thermal expansion. When the lamp is switched on, a light bulb illuminates and heats the container. As one liquid expands more than the other when heated, it rises to the top of the lava lamp vessel in a completely relaxed state. In the upper part of the vessel it is cooler, it cools down and sinks. This cycle then starts all over again and the typical shapes are formed inside.
Lava lamps are now available in countless color combinations. In this lamp, red shapes float through the blue liquid inside. The outer shape and the stand that holds the vessel make the lamp look like a rocket.
The lava lamp needs a short time to reach operating temperature after being switched on. But then new and unique shapes are constantly being created. So don’t be surprised if you suddenly find yourself sitting in front of your new lamp for hours on end, just watching the goings-on inside.
