I need you people to understand that I am a novelty light. I am not able to meet you for drinks or dinner. But I can hang out in your room, apartment, house, hotel room, moblie home, RV, even plug into your cigar lighter in your vehicle. Furthermore, if you ever receive any message from me trying to sell you something (spam), please let me know immediately. It means someone hacked my account-as I will never send any spam. thaaaaanx

Since my first appearance in the 1960`s, I have been a familiar fixture in college dorm rooms and teenager's bedrooms all over the world. In the United States and many other countries, I have become completely entrenched in popular culture. Even after all these years, people are still buying me, and I can be found in hundreds of variations!- - - - - - -
If you look at me when I'm turned off, you'll find a solid waxy compound on the bottom of me. This solid compound is only a little denser than my surrounding liquid compound. When you turn on my light, here is what happens: . . . The solid quickly turns into a liquid and expands, giving it a lower density than the surrounding liquid.- - - - - - -
The warm blob is now slightly less dense than the surrounding liquid, so it rises to the top of the globe.
Because it is farther away from the heat source, the blob cools slightly, becoming more dense than the surrounding liquid (it does not cool down enough to change back into a solid, however).- - - - - - -
The blob sinks to the bottom of the globe, where it heats up enough to rise again.- - - - - - -
This is a pretty simple idea, but it's actually fairly complicated to balance all the elements...
(The compounds, the heat source and the size of the globe)
...so that the blobs are constantly moving around. In fact, I gaurd my ingredients very closely, and motion lamp enthusiasts have had a very hard time reproducing the displays you see in commercial models-though you can find awesome 'how-to' books and articles all over the internet.- - - - - - -- - - - - - -
