Did I already show these colored oil-disks (“lava lamp projector disks” I think?) that I got for ligra? :>
it’s a glass disk with two chambers with several, non-mixing, colored fluids inside, that will create super lovely bubble-textures! I think this was invented by the same company that invented the lava-lamp. They also sell such disks.
Now I need to design a fit that can also rotate the disk in this half-ligra. It’s too large for all four metal beams :D
It seems these disks are built as follows:
- Outer glass with a perimeter of silicone
- Chamber with two different colored liquids and air
- Inner glass, again with a perimeter of silicone
- Another chamber with two differently colored liquids and air
- Finally another glass slide
This sandwich of glass, liquids and air, sealed by silicone is protected by a plastic shell, which also provides an option to mount and rotate it with an external motor
