I will forever cherish my Most Creative title as a miner inventor.  Thank you Sfards and if a lava lamp miner ever does come into existence, I hope I will be considered as a beta tester. Smiley Best of luck to you!

I give you huge credit on this.  It was a idea that made us all smile I think. It was one of those ideas that is crazy enough it could actually even work.   

I hope to see someone mod a miner to provide heat to a lava lamp.  I will be honest you have me thinking about putting a old lava lamp I know of in my pile of stuff behind a miner to see if I can get the heat. But I don't think I can achieve the hotness (which is normally a good thing Smiley ).

lavalamp bulbs are 25W in the majority of lamps. If you used a 24/7 heat source and deposited most heat to the lava (rather than the sides of the metal base) it could be functional with 15-20W worth of mining power, possibly just some stick miners glued to the bottom part of the glass base
