I mean, the physics of a small lamp are easy, but for the huge one to work, you have to have a whole differnt approach. The wax blobs would still be the same size, not beach ball sized. The liquid would cool the balls quickly and they would likely drop back down after floating up maybe a foot. All in all, it just is not likely to work. I want to see even a 2 foot lava lamp. I bet it would not work well either. 60 feet, no way! Somehow I can imagine Thor Heyerdahl receiving a similar lecture about balsa rafts. :) The tiki gods expect you to do your part: Help Raise a Tiki at Tiki Gardens!
