Labware Lava Lamp 250 ml Graduated Cylinder

Watching the mesmerizing movements of a lava lamp is always a fun time. The science behind it is even more fascinating. The wax has a density slightly more than the surrounding water, so it remains on the bottom. As it heats up it expands, decreases enough in density to be lighter than the water and rises. As it rises it cools and contracts enough to be more dense than and then sink, repeating the cycle.

This unit is made from all scientific labware. A tripod stand, Buchner funnel, cork flask stands and a graduated cylinder. This unit uses a 35 Watt halogen bulb and take about 2 hours to heat up properly. Do not run for more than 9 hours at a time.

Warning: the unit gets hot, do not touch when on. Do not shake the lava lamp.

The color you choose is for the wax, the water will be clear.

If you want a different color please ask before choosing “other”. Not all colors are possible.
