Lava lamps

Quick history
British entrepreneur Edward Craven Walker had the idea for the lava lamp in 1963 after watching a homemade egg timer, which was made from a cocktail shaker filled with liquids, as it was bubbling on a stove top in a pub.
He hired British inventor David George Smith to develop the device and the chemical formula required to put his idea into practice.
