How lava lamps are made
_The sacred texts_
I saw you yesterday, no one believed me.
@@emmiekatesyouth I ate 10 of your kin yesterday
SCP 1000 come back to containment RIGHT NOW!
bruh look at this monki
It's been years since I've seen this account
So you're telling me they do not use actual lava?
*_I'm_* *_STUNNED_*
It's Scruklemush me and my friend stopped being friends for a day because we argued about that in fourth grade lol
@@captainmillie4017 LOL me too that happend when i was 2nd grade
"Rose, I have an even bigger scoop for you. Mars bars are made right here on Earth"
Sorry, I just had to do that
Lol
I grew up being told "Don't touch the lava lamp it's toxic if it breaks"
Imagine being scared of a lamp
Couldn't be me
Same tf🙈💀
I always thought it was real lava and my hand would be burned lol
I was told the same with thermometers... but turns out that warning was true.
I had a black and blue one. my parents dropped it. It was destroyed. I still lay here at night thinking about it.
You gotta let it go my mann...
Im sorry for your loss
I had a blue and red one. It only lasted a week since my little brother dropped both of them
😢
i just assembled my lava lamp, my sister held it out of the window just to scare me
I feel like this is forbidden knowledge
Ruska Luiro the forbidden drink
Atleast I now know what I’ve been eating in the past days. Yummy lava lamps.

Forbidden drink

Had a lava lamp once.... at my Sims' house
Brigita Maria Wiputri is it from strangerville? because gosh, that is the only thing about the pack thats worth it haha
I'm really curious too. Which game of the series was it exactly? I remember having one too when I was a child
@@user-st5ir8mg3q You're right! I used to have it on 2000-ish Sims, so it must be Sims 1/ 2
@@fishstew2573 I used to have the lava lamp on the sims 1/2. But yes, i heard that the strangerville exp pack has that lava lamp back!
I still don't have that exp pack and I have to agree that the lava lamp must be the most worth it since I watched it being played on Buzzfeed Multiplayer and the mission is quite "weird"...😂
Habbo house...
I've wanted a lava lamp for as long as I can remember, and I'm hoping to finally get one for my sixteenth birthday.
Edit: I GOT IT! :D
happy belated birthday!
Let's go!!!

Should have wished for iphone
That makes me smile.
This reminds me of when I was really little. My sister had a lava lamp. One night the lava lamp was on I was laying in bed after my sister and I just argued she turned over and said "I'm so mad at you. Now you can't look at my lava lamp." We shared a room.
That's a hard punishment
You tell your sister the US constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment.
i had to check your account and make sure you weren't my little sister bc that sounds like something i would do
That’s so petty lol
So my World History Teacher was discussing the idea of archeology, and about how most of the items we find might be incorrectly labeled. He posed the question: “What if, in the far future, archeologists dug up a lava lamp? What would they think it was? A ceremonial object, probably.”
And would they be wrong?
Wait, wait, wait.... you mean it ISN'T? I've conducted many rituals and ceremonies by the light of a Lava Lamp. And it's always heightened the, ummm, experience.
Lava lamps are ceremonial objects, watching one is a sort of meditation.
Or a ... butt plug
They'd probably know what a lava lamp is then, we keep records of pretty much everything now.
what the heck.. last night I was literally wondering how lava lamps are made and now I just got a notification for this video...
me, too, i think we're tuned into the collective subconcsiousness.
This channel reads our friggin minds
@@h7opolo damn that's deep
@@nishhx_x a real suspicion and somewhat common idea
They can read minds.The other day I was dreaming of sheep so I could fall to sleep and today I woke up in a sheep farm with out any clothes on.Then I woke so it was a dream within a dream.
When I was a child I thought hundreds of people sacrifice their lives just to collect lava and create a lamp
0-0
You’re not wrong
Let’s make that fantasy into reality.
I love how u thought, some people must have died to make this lamp. Lolol!
The day we get to know what's in that Lava lamp, the world will evolve into an intergalactic society.
Wax and a tablespoon of magic.
I grew up in the 90s when the lava lamp had come back into style and I'd always been fascinated by them. I'd owned a number of Chinese clone lamps, but the movement of the lava was always disappointing. I then heard about Mathmos and figured since they created the original, they must be good. Very pleased with my purchase, the lava moves all the way from top to bottom! I also think it's really neat that they still make them in the U.K at the same factory, there's not a lot of things you can still buy today that are still made in their home country.
Sucks that you can't buy em in America :(
I have a lamp from the 90s and I got it when i was 13. It still works and use it for a dimmer light in the evening. Relaxing to watch at times. I go into spencers time to time and see what they have. Not like it was with an entire wall of them going back in the day. Oh well. At least they still have them for generations to come.
I had a Mathmos as a kid in the 90s for a while, the purple one. It was awesome. It eventually got lost. I had no idea the lava was wax.
lol i had a cheap chinese one too. i didn't even think about it being a cheap shitty one as a kid but the wax definitely didn't flow properly
I bought one in australia and the lava didn’t flow properly and the glass bottle was dirty and scratched up so I returned it
Coolest lava lamp designs:
The Rocket
The Lightsaber
The Gas Pump
I googled them all and why does the gas oump one exist
just bought the rocket :-) amazing stuff
Your icon looks like a lava lamp
i have the rocket
What about a bong one...
I inherited a lava lamp from the 80's, and somehow it's still going strong. Lava lamps are no joke
When I was younger, my sister had one and it was how I fell asleep most nights, watching it go up and down was so fascinating to me. They’re so iconic
I have always wished I had one of this when I was growing... Now I'm old enough to get me a truck load of it... Gonna make myself happy...
hell yeah you make yourself happy!! lava lamps for all!!!
Gimme one while ur at it 😂 (not really tho)
Did you get one?!
Me too, but my sister got it and I shared a room with her so I got also part of it
@@PumpkinPails lol... Not yet...
Ok this is great and all but I just love them for their w i g g l e

I got a lava lamp as a Christmas present when I was about 11 or 12 and I was SHOOK. It was so mesmerizing to me and I'd sit there watching it just do its thing and wondering what the heck it was made out of. It had blue liquid and green 'lava' and I had that thing until I was in college. My mom probably put it in the garage somewhere lol
lol garage
I just got my younger siblings a lava lamp for Christmas
When I was 8 I mixed food coloring in water and added oil and it looks exactly like this and if you add a fizzy tablet it will move around just like this one does
That's called a liquid light show. You'll recognize it from old footage from the 60s.
@@desuretard8654 cool
Your eight year old self was smart
@@Pearl1010 it’s a well known little science experiment. You can google how to do it, teachers do it in classrooms, parents do it with their kids. She probably did it with a parent or in school a couple years ago, I wouldn’t act like she invented the experiment
I did that in 4th grade
my mom got me one of these bad boys when i was in elementary school
I had one until I broke it.
@@lavenderflowersfall280 Oh...
Nice
😱😱😱you were one of the cool kids?!
Lol 😂
Mmmmm If I had to choose what color of Lava Lamp I wanted it would be either Red or Blue
i love that there's a secret ingredient in it
it is wax and mineral oil.

Just look up the US patent. All the ingredients are disclosed --- mineral oil, paraffin wax, and carbon tetrachloride.

"Well... Maybe one more video"
*15th video in*
This is one of those retro things that will never go out of style. I've had lava lamps for years and still absolutely love them. They are especially good on nightstands. Watching them relaxes you and can help you fall asleep. We are going to move to a new house and I will get more. Watching the video it surprised me to discover that the most popular colors are also my very favorite: the purple liquid with yellow gel. Right now I have one next to my desk in my retreat where I spend most of my time. How relaxing this is to watch. Please, never stop making these.
I remember when I was 3 years old. Me and my siblings each had a lava lamp. My brother got red, I had purple and I think my sister got green. I'm not to sure but I definitely know mine was purple.
Luvyouth - that’s a nice memory!!!😊 i’ve always wanted a lava lamp but still haven’t had a chance to get one
there isn’t a chucks where i live :( since you’re God maybe you can just give me one? :)
you were the Powerpuff Girls, lol x)
Hol up is that a black lava lamp
It is. My roommate had one back in college. The 'lava' was black, and the liquid was a a really deep sort of blue.
Same thing I said.
Yeah I just bought one with purple liquid and black lava
I saw that and I need it. I've never seen a black lava lamp. I have 2 lamps already. A dark purple rocket lamp and a normal pink lamp. (Both really old hand me downs).
Haven't gotten a new one in years but I've been thinking about it since I just did some maintenance on my rocket one.
ik right? its sweet
My parents bought me a Lava lamp when I was child, I was 9 back then. I'm 17 now and I still use it to this day. It's so hypnotic to look at
The fact the design is so true the original shows how we thought out and crafted they are.
I bought one for my son when he moved into his first apartment. He loved it. He said sometimes they'd shut off all the lights and just stare at it and chat for hours.
A childhood friend used to have one and I was always fascinated watching it. As an adult, I simply bought my own! I still love it, even though it blew many light bulbs
Yeah. My current one keeps blowing bulbs too ( blue with purple wax). Had a cool green with purple wax one with a very 60s hippy style based and top many years ago. That thing was cool and it never blew a bulb in 4 years, but the plug wire was sketchy. It would spark sometimes when you messed with it.
The liquid is either ethylene or propylene glycol. The "wax" is a grade of paraffin at a specific hardness.
One can make a lava lamp with candles and windshield washing fluid. Takes a lightbulb that emits heat.
that's sacred knowledge you're not supposed to know that!!
Stil, the flow of the originals is very hard to emulate
Candle wax dissolve in any organic solutions. So that wont work. You need 2 seperate substance which does not combine.
It's not that simple.
No, you can't. Also, no, it's not.
Just bought one yesterday at a thrift store and it works perfect. Lava lamps are so cool 😎
Since I was little, I've always thought owning a lava lamp was the coolest thing in the world. Still do today.
I can honestly say that I am in no way disappointed with CZcams’s algorithm on this one! 👏🏻
Ever since I was a child..I would NEVER take my eyes off of it..it just I couldn’t define the satisfactory just by looking at this. I would just watch it for hours.🌚
Really fascinating that this company is still around making these. True to quality. They are one of the most iconic images from the 60’s. It’s actually peaceful to watch a lava lamp in action. Calms you.
The Hilton Verve Hotel in Natick, Mass has a wall that is all giant lava lamps in different colors. It’s stunning!
Just lit mine here at home. I’ve been having a lava lamp at home on and off for probably about 20 years. I like them, they’re decorative and peaceful to watch once it’s all warmed up. Hilarity can occur while it’s warming up too lol I’ve had my lava lamp look like the wax was flipping the bird as it started to melt, and a while ago the wax took the shape of a certain reproductive organ 😂
I have three of them and I see that all the time! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who notices that stuff 😂
I've had my lava lamp for the better part of over 2 decades. It's only now needed a new bulb. These are such calming lamps that can last a lifetime. Worth every penny you put into them.
I used to have a lava lamp as a kid. I remember staring at it for hours when I couldn't sleep. Ah, memories...
I need The Making Of Domino's Pizza's, how the hell do they put cheese on the base. Secrets!
Sooo soothing and relaxing... I love it! 😄😌
These were "Classic '70s"! They are ALWAYS COOL!
This story is fantastic. I remember as a kid back in the late 60s and early 70s being fascinated by lava lamps.
Still have my lava lamp that I got Christmas 1999. Still has the original bulb. Still works.
I got a pink and blue rocket lava lamp from Mathmos a few years ago and it’s honestly one of my favourite things I own. I love the design and I’m hoping to get some more bottle colours so I can change out the colours. I really love the company and the products are good, despite the high price, it’s totally worth it and I would recommend Mathmos for anyone who wants to get a great quality lava lamp
I had them as a kid and loved watching the blog going up and down. Intriguing display.
Such a simple idea..and ends up a big money maker and an iconic keepsake..timeless...
me and my siblings used to have a lava lamp each. I was 4 at the time. I had a purple one, my older brother had a red one and my little sister bad a green one. I loved how the lamps would light up the room at night. I'm decorating my room soon and definitely gonna ask for a purple lava lamp😊
What're 5 now
The design is just beautiful. It’s also entertaining to just see. Not to mention that fact that on average it takes less space than that of a desk lamp. The only cons are that the bigger they are, the more power and heat will be needed to just start up the lamp and make it just function similarly to smaller types.
I actually was always curious to know how these were made but never looked imto
It. This was convenient and i never knew i needed this vid lol
Prime example of if it's not broken don't fix it. Wonderful to see a company retain its original design along with newer designs
I think even if made in the sixties, it looks very futuristic, more so than the lamps now.
Well futuristic for the 60s anyway and also because in the early 60s, “space age” was still quite popular…

I have a lava lamp 🌋 ⏳ and a plasma tesla lamp 🔮(nikola tesla and ramanujan are my fav scientist and mathematician respectively)
✨💫
I mean I never asked for this but.. I love it! 💯
Fascinating insight to such gorgeous and enthralling lamps ❤️
I HAD ONE AS A KID AND LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!
I want a Black Lava/Clear Lquid lava lamp soooo bad!
Seconded!
I didn’t know lava lamps were made in the 60s, but it literally makes perfect sense when you look at lava lamps and the massive psychedelic/hippie/spiritual era. I specifically wanted to get a lava lamp to look at it while tripping and I find it funny that they were made in the 60s making them literally meant for you to chill and trip to
It's so vibrant n colorful. Idea is very unique. Happy if get one.
I absolutely love lava lamps, just got my first one today for Christmas
I Made One of These In My Science Lab In 6th Grade, Back in The Day
Oil and water?
Their website says that it will soon be available for purchase in Canada, any idea if that's going to happen? I'd love to have that light blue lamp in clear liquid.
I remember I had one, they’re always so satisfying to look at
Superb video 💖💖 thank you for sharing 🙏😀🎉🎉🎉
Popped up on my recommended, went and bought one.
Thanks CZcams
Till this day I still want that big ass over sized lava lamp I would see at Spencer's gifts back in the 90s...damm I loved that lamp but could never afford but I sure did afford the little one..best day of my life when I got that lamp...
Got one when they came back in style in 90's for Christmas one year. It was blue and white. Now I want one again.
I’ve got 3 of em and let me tell ya… they are awesome. Relaxing and fun. I got one that was my Moms in 1968! Six years before I came along! And it still does it’s thing!
me: finally i can know how these lamps work...
Mathmos: no dear, we ain't tellin' ya...
I just bought one for myself at Spencer's. Surprised how inexpensive they were, especially for the regular large size. Mine has purple fluid with orange wax, it really looks like lava that way. Aside from that color combination, I love the clear liquids with all colors of wax.
Watching this while my lamp bubbles away, as always, on the fireplace. Love love love it
Ooh, I want the blue one! The blue lava inside the clear liquid is beautiful. 😍
I love lava lamps ♥️

I have a lava lamp which is huge and never seen a design like it. Very smooth love it
This video has convinced me I need to buy one now
All the comments look so short and it just makes this channel look like it’s a new channel
I was thinking what am I doing without the big lava lamp and now this...🤣
totally forgot about these lamps. beautiful lamps
I have one and love it. It's so hypnotizing
Why did this pop up in my recommendation one day before my science exhibition

I bought four to place throughout my house to calm and sooth myself during the COVID19 harsh lockdown period and now in the global uprisings in protests of the horrible murder of George Floyd. Watching these things is very relaxing. They even heat a small room in the winter after 10-hours of use!
You mean Fentanyl Floyd, the drug user that was high on fentanyl and couldn't breathe because of that?

I bought mine in the 90s and I still have it and love it.
3:04 black one on the back is so beautiful. all of them are, wow.
I've had 2 lava lamps my whole life, they were blue abd light blue, I still have the light blue one, i'm 35 and they are cool just to stare at lol?! ... 😀 🔥
Me: It’s 5am should head to bed
CZcams: want to see how lava lamps are made??
Brings back teenage memories of listening to record player in my room with only the light of a fiery red lava lamp in the distance
I've always loved lava lamps they're beautiful.
I’d love to own one, if only the bulbs weren’t so inefficient.
@SamTheSoviet42 and bulbs don’t last very long. I go through a bulb somewhere between 3 weeks and 3 months. Plus it’s getting harder to find the bulbs because nearly every bulb is LED now which doesn’t work in a LAVA lamp.
This video: *appears in my recommended*
Me: Ok
I could stare at the lamp for days, these are just too healing
Ohh... I have one. Not original (yet). But how beautiful they are! So bizarre colours 😍 thank you for sharing!
So my gf and I literally just asked eachother how lava lamps are made two days ago. How did this show up coincidentally
...they're watching...
Maybe you searched for it on the internet. Or you have a Google Assistant device, and it heard you guys talk about it.
How it’s made: Insider videos

Waouh impressionnant je sais même pas quoi quand il faisait comme ça
WOW. I have two lava lamps in my living room right now :) this is so cool
