    One time in Hawaii, in 1888, there was a small village just next to a little beach. Not far from the village, there was a huge “lava pit.” Scientists believed that it was just a volcano that had formed underground and only the opening at the top could be seen from the surface. The lava pit had always been filled with lava, and people wondered if it would ever erupt.…

    Lumè is a hanging lamp that exudes a strong retro flavor. It throws us immediately into a past that we have not lived but that never ceases to fascinate us: the period of the Second Industrial Revolution, when Thomas Edison lived and a new era for the lighting industry was about to begin. The first words that come to our minds when we think of that part of history are energy and electricity, the driving forces that gave life to new inventions. Lumè, with its irregularly bronzed metal holder, reminds us a little bit of the iron or copper pipes that made up the gears of the new machinery, and became the support for Edison’s light bulbs. Lumè of course is not designed for the incandescent bulbs of the time, which due to their high consumption…

    I’ve always been interested with lighthouses even before I watched this documentary film that’s why it wasn’t hard or boring for me. I’ve always wanted to go to a lighthouse and see how it flashes lights towards the sea. It’s amazing how it saves many lives of people and even animals that live underwater. I find it wonderful learning how to build a lighthouse, well, technically. This Bell Rock lighthouse was built in a rock, a very dangerous rock according to people who came across it. The man behind this rock, Robert Stevenson, built this rock between 1807 and 1810. And it’s amazing that this certain lighthouse still stand even to this day! Awesome, indeed!…

    A lava lamp is a decorative tube-shaped light fixture containing a colored, oily fluid that flows up and down throughout the lamp chamber in a manner reminiscent of molten lava. As the fluid rises and sinks in the lamp chamber it changes shape and breaks into globules of various sizes, giving a psychedelic effect of constantly shifting patterns. Credit for the creation of the lava lamp is given to English engineer Craven Walker who, in the late 1940s, saw a prototype of the lamp in a pub in Hampshire, England. This early version, according to the Walker legend, was made of "a cocktail shaker, old tins and things." He purchased the liquid-filled fixture and set out to make his own. Walker formed the Crestworth Company in Dorset, England, and over the next 15 years tried to build a better lava lamp. When first marketed under the name Astro Lite in British stores in the early 1960s, it was not an immediate success. Then, at a 1965 German trade show, two American entrepreneurs saw an early model on display, and bought the rights to manufacturer the lamp in North America. In the United States, they changed the name from Astro Lite, to the infinitely hipper Lava Lite Lamp and began manufacturing operations in Chicago. With the advent of psychedelia and pop-art later that decade, Walker's gimmicky contraption became a major fad. By the time Walker left the business in 1990, he had sold over seven million of his creations. Today, the company ships 400,000 lamps a year to shops around the world. Currently, Haggerty Enterprises is the only U.S. manufacturer of Lava Lite Lamps and they distribute them nationally through a number of retail and mail order outlets.…
