- What's inside a lava lamp? They're not meant to be opened, but if you do pop off the cap, you’ll find paraffin wax, water, and some mystery chemicals that are essential for making the wax - or lava - rise and fall.

What's Inside A Lava Lamp? - Věda a technologie
*this is taking me back to when i would fill a plastic bottle with oil and water and watch it for hours*
_oh the days_
*yes*
😭😥
Yes
-yes-
_yes_
Lava obviously, why else would it be called a “Lava Lamp”?
Duuu
Spencer Reynolds people who woooosh on CZcams are pretty much idiots
mnemonic Max you didn’t even spell it correctly idot
Your Daily Dad Joke yeet
Your Daily Dad Joke i dare you to reply to my comment
Make your own homeade lava lamp:
1) a lamp
2) 3 grams of LSD
3 grams? so one hit is 25-50 micrograms. 3 grams is 3 million micrograms. you would be tripping for the rest of your life and you would be the lava lamp.
one hit is 100mcg, 25mcg is just the active threshold
Me realising there is no lava in lava lamp
*(Surprised Pikachu)*
How dare you make fun of me and my family
@@PhantomicalAir lol
PEOPLE ARE GETTING SALKED BY PIKACHUS
@@PhantomicalAir you are a good meme
Minecraftaholic we’re running out of memes that make sense. I’m the last fat pikachu of theeeeeeeee..………

Y u bully me
Parrafin wax melted at low temperature and perchloroethylene is added to change both the chemical structure as well as the density of the wax. (That is why a bottle of PE weighs more at around 1.6units than the same bottle of water at around 1 unit)
This is why the wax is mushymushy. PE is used in dry cleaning.
The water part of the lamp is purified / distilled / deionized water. A miniscule amount of a chemical such as dishsoap is added to break surface tension... i am talking drop for drop of the soap os added until the wax actually "lifts" off the bottom when heated..
Adding too much of the soap will turn the water cloudy and the lamp won't work. Adding too little will do absolutely nothing either.
There was a recipe for this on the internet which i had found back in 2005, but whether it is still out there is the question.
Please do remember that a lava lamp is not a child's toy, but actually a highly balanced science experiment. All ingredients and components have to be perfectly balanced in order for the lava to fuction properly.
Poor or improper heating / type of coil used inside the bottle is also a major factor.
jordandlugosch exactly.
The distilled water has a mixture of glycol also.
First comment I’ve seen that’s correct in years 👍
@@Superfandangoo scifibeer.com/lava method 3. This is the recipe I remember. Think i might just give it another go this weekend!
jordandlugosch thanks I have read that sometime ago, I’ve a large mathmos grande I need to change fluid on will be doing soon. At this moment changing wax on a smaller mathmos.
@@jordandlugosch3995 site doesn't work anymore :(
Answer: they have no idea what's in a lava lamp.
Just saved you 4 minutes of your life, go outside!
Brock Bah not so, Distilled water, glycol, a drop of clear surfactant liquid, the paraffin wax also has petroleum jelly and Perchloroethylene added all at specific amounts
too late..
Ok

Does throwing out the lava lamp content helps you to identify what the ingredients are?
Seems like you guys are just playing with it😂
ghahaha 43 yes, and some footage for the video.
My thought's exactly. It's like when you have to dissect a frog in biology class, you don't have to do it and there are better options then killing a frog.
Ikr it's not that difficult to identify it if you run a few samples for isolating organic compounds
It tastes like the same thing in batteries. 6/10
Yo wtf
Hold up-
should we tell him

ceep lol
moths be like "lämp?"
I’ve never seen an employee and their boss have so much fun together
The inside of the lava lamp looks like my girl's cooking.
break up with her
if she can’t cook, she’s useless
Teach her how to cook bro.
@Mr psychometrics *Your reply is the nicest one out of all the others.*
Get yo girl some forms for a cooking class.
When i was a kid i always thought lava lamps has actual lava, i was scared to touch them
Same
@@chibi_okami did he get inside his boss
So what exactly where you planning to do when you poured one out and had two people squeeze the contents? What were you expecting to learn from this? What reason made you think of this?
When you're early and dont know what to say... Like honestly, NOTHING TO SAY.
@mnemonic Max nothing to say, and just say that iconic line
Möths love any type of lämp
Dead meme
I find you everywhere so with the help of our glorious leader I subscribed to you
that chemist is low key hot 😳😳😭
I think you mean "less dense"
Looks like he’s protecting his lamp from knock-offs.
Cake money
Lava lamps are amazing 😉
Just bought my first one today same brand Shylling. The 25 W bulbs so tiny is it easy to get replacement bulbs for this?
Whats inside a lava lamp?
Remains of bowser
Tbh was never curious until now
Here's what in the lava lamps: Perchlorate (brake fluid) and parrafin wax, with distilled water, Epsom Salt, and a surfactant (like dish soap)
What does the salt do?

Thank you for benefiting me and the Fufus. Now we truly know what's inside of a Lava Lamp! You see, my neighbor's, husband's cousin's, sister yearned to know what was inside. She developed Stage 3 Lymphoma and was on her death bed. But, after this video she recovered, jumped 7 feet into the air and exclaimed "Yurika!" She now is a full-time teacher working in the education industry for more than 7 years and her life couldn't be more positive. Thank you, Science Insider! We hope to see more videos and content from you. Science builds and extracts information from young minds.
I don't know what to say 💀
I think they added detergent to it. I accidentally put a little detergent powder into a toilet bowl with domex (toilet bowl cleaner, color blue) around it, and the detergent never stopped ascending and descending.
This was such clickbait. Like you guys couldn't have sent it off to a lab to be tested.
It's anti freeze and kerosene and wax
Im try to change the water because my lava lamp water is become cloudy, in the first try it fail. That wax doesnt move at all .. and i try to search it again. Then i found some information about it, to add the water a bit of salt and liquid dish soap. And now it works perfectly and i can change my lava lamp water colour to if i want it. But clear is my favourite.
How lava lamp companies get new customers: If you can’t convince them, confuse them.
Wait you not supposed to drink lava lamp me and the boys always pop them open and drink them while watching the sunset😮
It contains the spirit of Pierce Hawthorne's deceased mother.
I love community
@@halzan5043 it's a funny show
They used to use very dangerous chemicals inside a lava lamp (carbon tetracholride)… I seriously hope they no longer use that (especially since it was banned in cleaning products decades ago). If you broke an old one, do not touch any of the ingredients
As a teen we always thought it was just wax and water!
I think it might have a little dish soap in it because if you shake it, bubbles form.
It's mostly a DIY product if you have enough patience. Then some companies take the patent and spare you the hassle
Next video: Raiding Lava Lamp Headquarters
Lava-Simplex, the original American manufacturer, put kerosene in the liquid apparently. When they changed the formula to be less toxic, the quality of the flow unfortunately suffered.
So basically lava lamps are portable examples of mantle convection?
All I wanted to know was what were the additives and you guys didn't name any besides Kerosene.
Thanks. I miss my lava lamp now. I wonder where I misplaced it..
Short answer: lava
Long answer:
If she is your boss. Can she hire me?
@mnemonic Max criminal
I thought there would be a definitive answer to what is inside but theres none.disappointed!
sam tres not so, Distilled water, glycol, a drop of clear surfactant liquid, the paraffin wax also has petroleum jelly and Perchloroethylene added all at specific amounts
did you even mention Archimedes principle?
Convection current in a lamp! HAHAHAH
I have a weird lava lamp..... It goes up and down but it usually or almost always goes In circles, I'm not complaining but I've seen other videos and it doesn't do that
I used to have one
Damn..look at those goosebumps on lady's arm at 1:11😂
Chilling with the boss
Is it contains polyethylene glycol?
a guy actually drank lava lamp thinking it was alcohol :3
It actually contains formaldehyde
@@poggers213 yeah ik thats what!
The sound at the first part sounded wrong
Ah yeah, I forgot that those exist.
Well, that's disappointing..
What's inside a lava lamp?
-Wax and water, and some additives. Okay
you can add kerosene or alcohol
The forbidden drink
So, no one run a chemical test on it? You could easily know all the list of chemical used in the liquid.
Yea, you could find out the ingredients, but you still need to know the ratios of how to mix the liquids, that's the secret.
Nobody uses a lava lamp to actually try to see something
Who already knew that thanks to 'What's Inside'?
Thanos’ ear wax be like
What does it smell like?
I think the inside is really lava

this..this sounds familiar

#scienceinsider please check the video volume level before uploading , had problem listening to it!
WHERE'S THE LAVA?!
Salt is the magical additive
Some things should just be left sealed.
Now that you mentioned it I really think that the secret ingredient is animal fat
Justin where you at my dude?
i love drinking these
I thought it was lava
Normally I like the videos on this channel, but this is basically clickbait. Next time, title it “we don’t really know what’s in a lava lamp”
They really needed an "expert" to say theres a secretive additive in the liquid? I thought it was obvious.
IDK but it's tasts good
the forbidden juice
Water and wax. Simple answer
What’s Inside: r u kidding meh
we learned about this in school
I have the same one but bigger and it is a custom one I ordered from the original lava company for 49.99 purpal liquid yellow wax
Purple lol

What’s inside a lava lamp? Ask the guy featured on Chubbyemu. :)
This video took four minutes to tell us they don't know.
Uhhh, lava?
Listen to the audio at the beginning sound like the game theorist
He made a less dense "water" with certain chemicals.. The wax is dyed with nothing else added to change density. Problem solved.
I have not been this early in my life
Forbidden margarita
why to name the video "whats inside the lamp" if the answer is "we dont know" ?
Omg i was the first one to watch this !
Its wax and water
So, magic not ruled out.
*Lava*
I thought it was dyed lava
So the point of this "Science" video is to say, um, we don't know? Throw up some question marks and profit, right?
Don't watch it while having breakfast 😅.
the narrator sounds like nick swardson
I have a lava lamp but it’s 3 feet tall it’s a very tall lamp
Next time you open something up not knowing what it contains, please use a fumehood....
Aren't lava lamps toxic or something if you open them.....? I could have sworn hearing they weren't good for people and you had be extremely careful if you accidentally broke one.

Salt and parrafin
